Hi, Brent
Will you be doing a follow-up on a GTX 460 SLI vs. GTX 580? I would like to see how this would turn out as well, since 460 in SLI performs equal to or better than the GTX 480.
More specifics here and there is also a direct link to the forum post.

Infonec's HO is in Markham, on Ferrier St. just off of Steeles Ave.,

I personally go here often.
The VX2025s are great monitors. I've had one for over a year now and I've personally not have any problems with it as with my brother who has one as well. I bought 2 of these at the same time, no problems whatsoever. The-One's experiences is, in my opinion, an isolated incident.
I too live in Toronto and I bought my Quad 6600 from Infonec Computers, 15 minutes drive from where I live:

They're selling it for $299.00
Infonec has 3 locations: Markham (Head office) ---that 's where I bought mine, Mississauga...
Got mine 5 days ago.
I've yet to game on it extensively and to connect my 360 to see what gives but I've been quite busy of late.
So far, I'm quite happy with this monitor, no problems to report. The brightness was quite a bit on the high side (it's been adjusted now) but other than that...
I picked up the BenQ FP241W Z and so far I'm liking what I'm seeing.
I've yet to game extensively on it and to try my 360 on it as well ---- too busy with work and the world of reality....
It's a pretty good monitor. It's one up from the VX2025 I got a year ago. Got this one for my mother and when I compare the two side by side, the VX2035 is much better in terms of clarity. I believe this model is also Vista certified.
There are a lot of personal experiences wiith this particular model over at the AVS forums:

Just a word of caution when the subject turns to banding issues. They're not as bad as some of these guys make it out to be. The rule of thumb...
Yup, same results as you had described. Some have suggested to use ATITool for OCing this card, since it also works on nVidia cards. I've used it on my Geforce FX card. I don't know if it will work on the G80's though. I guess I will give it a go.
