Looks like I may well be getting this screen when it launches over here (comes out in the States this month) and using my Hazro HZ24Wi as a 2nd screen in portrait only mode.

The RRP seems very good but that was to be expected given the e-IPS panel being used although a surprise given the other features!

Interesting that they're not using an LED backlight though, maybe this is due to the market it is geared toward and the other hardware features it has?

I'd be interested in seeing a review of it first though to see how the performance fares in gaming and movie watching as I do use my PC for fun times too :p

Also I'm glad it is an sRGB monitor and not a wide gamut one, I shoot in Adobe RGB but save to sRGB as all working is mainly for online display and having had wide gamut screens before I found them to be hit and miss with accurate colours when browsing the web generally and between different viewing applications.

I can imagine it on my Ergotron MX arm right now and it looks beautiful!

Where's Baddass? :D


Edit*
Or do I go Hazro 27".... Hmm.

Aye and IMO the NEC (and HP) screens look the most professional of any screen I have seen so far. Shame Hazro don't make aluminium casings any more as they were nice.
 
That may be a possibility ($=!=£) but I would hope not :p

I don't mind having another 24", I find it's a rather nice size to have but a 27" would also mean a new GFX card so extra cost to factor in because my GTX460 won't handle the increased res as nicely as it does 1920x1200 in the latest games!
 
I think the price is largely thanks to the e-IPS panel, cheaper components without sacrificing image/colour quality :)
