Price isn't really an issue as long as it's a quality piece that I won't regret buying.
How's the input lag on the HP? I wasn't even aware HP were making monitors... isn't that kinda like buying steak at a fish shop?
Edit: Just looked at HP's dead pixel policy and it's pretty average.
This monitor will primarily be used for gaming. Beyond that just basic net and desktop stuff.
I have a big LCD tv for movies and console gaming.
For a brief time 18 months ago I had a Dell 2707 monitor, it ended up having a dead pixel so I returned it. Not to mention that given my desk...
