I'm on my way for that monitor!
How is gaming on that thing? Is there any ghosting? How are movies?

It really doesn't though. Its just 30" of flatscreen goodness. I do know something that is wrong with it though. ITS NOT ON MY DESK!

Those were actually my concerns....Scary when you're talkin' that kind of jack. But ironically, (it is 16ms r/f) Games and movies are great...the text when using it as a monitor is the thing that could be better. The pixel structure is ~1/2mm so it's not going to be great.
But...I'm not finished tweaking it yet.  There are a couple utilities I need to try out that are suppose to help that. This weekend.
The other thing it does not do is swivel...made me step back at first, but then, the bastage is so big you couldn't use it any other way than straight up. And..it is pretty solid, heavier than you would think.
So my review says:
games 
movies
text 
solid
price
4 smilies out of 5

Update:
I loaded ClearTweak this weekend, helps a bit with the text...so our beloved forums look better now.
Also, played a bit of D3... Can't wait for HL2 now.
^> the difference in gaming from my 21crt to this 30 lcd...
is like the difference from a 61" projection HTS to going to the theatre. 
Did I say I can't wait for HL2?

I think I'm going to have a bake sale this weekend so I can buy a kickass monitor like 2old's.
Is that a Lian Li case? |

Nice, now you have to get your Favorites bar on the side and take advntage of that width. |
or use Firefox 1.0 and stop having spam and ads on your comp and slowness :) , and btw wold you should realy consider getting the Logitech Z-680's they are $225 at newegg.com and are 505watts RMS. EVOpilot on this forum has them and wow its amazing how good they sound and how much bass they give out.

Nathan....Why would I need a favorites bar? I can only go to TN and Google
FTR...680's gotta sound good....got a set of 220's for $29 (so I just had to buy em) They sound d4mn good. But I have to live with my old DT3500 for a bit...at least till I pay for the monitor...It was a bit of a wild hair And Mozilla won't run our beloved forums (see above)
