It arrived!
Wonderful monitor. All the ports have been tested, and there are no disappointments with image quality (after tweaking the colours, and using some profiles posted here). I'm using the following ports:
DVI-1: PC (1920x1200 via 9800GTX)
DVI-2: Xbox 360 (1080P)
HDMI: PS3 (1080P)
Component: Wii (480P)
S-Video: Playstation 2 (480i)
Composite: DVD Player (480i)
The analogue input scaling represents the only problem I've encountered so far. For example, with Component, you have three scaling options: 1:1, Aspect Ratio, and Fill (all pretty self-explanatory). As mentioned before in this thread, the Wii outputs 480P (as in 640x480) even in widescreen mode (16:9). However, the monitor will obviously only interpret it as a standard 4:3 signal when any of those scaling modes are used. It really needed a forced 16:9 option for this. Fortunately, playing the Wii in 4:3 aspect ratio tends to give a much cleaner image; the 16:9 ouput is only a stretched 4:3, and therefore ultimately only creates more noise (and jaggies) when it finally reaches the screen. This is a problem at the Wii's end; most other standard definition devices will use genuine anamorphic widescreen (720x480).
Ghosting is very minimal, and response time is great. I can see a very faint shadow behind the ball in Top Spin 3 (playing at 720P), but only when I really look. Thats the worst of it so far. FPS's such as Portal and Bioshock didnt give me any trouble, surprisingly. Meanwhile, I havent noticed the input lag at all, even having come from Samsung's 226BW: a 3-5ms input lag TN panel. I'm very happy with the gaming capabilities of the monitor.
As for the wide gamut: you may despise it. I personally love the richness of the colours, but I also appreciate that people may prefer more a more realistic pallette. It's like marmite, and I'd urge you to find a site which compares the image ouputs of both, and decide for yourself. You can counteract it with wide-gamut profiles, of course, but bear in mind that few programs support it, and certainly no HDMI, Component and S-Video devices will. It's also worth considering that this wide gamut format may be the future standard for all applications and operating systems; Dell are currently implementing it into all their 24"+ monitors, likely in preparation for a changeover with Windows 7. Also, similarly to Dell's monitor, a DisplayPort is featured in this model to "future-proof" it.
I did pick up a stuck red sub-pixel in the bottom-left over the first 2 days of use, and I have noticed a very slight inconsistency in tone across the screen; the right side being darker than the left. These are minor gripes though, and both will be common defects in any monitor you buy. I've heard the latter disappears over time anyway, but I'd quite happily live with it.
I've only focused on the negatives so far, but I assure you that the LP2475w has far more positives than i'm giving it credit for. It's a sturdily-built, industry standard monitor with a generous wealth of OSD options to fiddle with. If you dont like the colour settings out of the box (and you probably wont), you'll definitely be able to set it up to your liking, given time and patience. Or you could buy a calibrator, and achieve some of the best DeltaE and Black levels possible in LCD technology. As for me, I'm very glad I exhanged my Hyundai W240D-PVA for it, and I think it'll last me for a good couple of years before my next inevitable upgrade (come on SED!).
