Is the 2405FPW worth it even at it's current price?

I really really rather fancy one of those beautys sitting on my desk but I can't really decide if it's worth it at ~700 quid or so.

I currently use 2 x 17" TFT's so although I would lose a little width of screen I would gain more height. Also I have begun to notice the limitations of twin screens with the bezel down the middle so I have been considering a change :o

I will have an oppertunity to pick up one of these lovely looking monitors in person next weekend as I head south for a LAN so you guys have till Thursday night to help me decide :D

Go! :>
 
Hmmm been pondering about this all day and still not come up with a firm decision. Worse still people are trying to talk me out of it on IRC....However I can see the USB Ports being handy and the memory card reader could also be hugely useful too...

Technically there is nothing wrong with my current setup so no reason to change. I don't do any webdesign or any 'work' so to speak so it would end up being used for games. Will it hold up to gaming OK?

I have a 7800GT and could SLi it if I run into problems so system power isn't an issue...
 
Woah!

thats a lot of thread choppage :o Would have preffered it not to go that way really. Thanks for clearing that out Badass :)


Also can I assume your views haven't changed since you posted your thread on this monitor?
 
Argh :(

A good read of your review makes me want one even more but I'm still on the fence :(

I started listening to my head again - it says no. Money is certainly not tight but I should consider if I can really afford it in the long term (fuel for car/bills etc)

My heart of course says yes :D I like the idea but I can see myself getting 2 which would just be stupid :o

Still dunno what to do - come Friday I can see myself just slapping my card down on the counter at OcUK and just getting them to max it out starting with the monitor :|

I'm weak :(
 
definately the not buying it

but thats my heart speaking - my head is still trying to fight and failing.

Payment shouldn't be an issue however as I am in full time emplyment making aenough to pay this off with ease. Besides it will be going on a 0% Credit Card.....

Maybe I should register another account on the forums and argue with myself unitl Friday? :D
