I have an Ephex system built by Maingear. if you haven't heard of them go check them out. great company. wwww.Maingear.com.
I bought the Samsung 305T with the Computer back in Sept 07. it went out and I got a refund back from Samsung. good customer service from them on that part. didn't expect that from Sam....
I ran into a bit of a snag while changing my liquid coolant and tubing. I know how to resolve it now so ill have it up later so ill be able to test this more.
be aware while reading this I'm not a pro. I don't use the tools they do to configure and adjust things. I'm a married man who loves electronics and video games. I just want to share what I think of the monitor in general. maybe this will help others like myself make a decision. my specs are in my signature.

BUILD QUALITY 4~
First of to compare this to the Samsung 305T I will say i personally think the BenQ is far superior. it looks and feel and feels a lot better. the stand is looks like brushed aluminum and is what first drawed my attention to it. im rather impressed because is the first BenQ monitor i have ever seen. the screen doesn have any real noticable glair, if any. the buttons are easy to push and make a nice little click sound so i know i pushed them.
PICTURE QUALITY ~5
PC~ So far Ive played COD4, Crysis, UT3, GRID demo, and Bionic Command. i played all them at max settings with the exception of crysis p). this monitor looks amazing. the sharpness is great. i have not noticed any input lag whatso ever. if any it is when i have the perfection motion mode off. it just seems maybe a tiny pit sluggish but you can turn the PM on and its well..perfect. it doesnt bother me and really wasnt even worth mentioning. ive been playing with the PM mode off and the res on 1920x1200. its great!
PS3~ I tried out GTA 4, Star Wars Unleashed demo, Face Breaker demo, and Bionic Commando Demo. they all look amazing. honestly its a little hard to tell the difference between the pc. no stretching issues, no input lag, nothing. its great. im sure when GTA 4 is released on pc it will look better though.... just thought i would throw that out there.
INPUTS 4~
I had gave it a 3 because I didnt know you could use the headphone jack with ps3, etc.
thanks to 10e for clearing that up for me. still giving it a 4 though because it doesnt have fiber optical or any other audio inputs.
CONCLUSION
My conclusion is very simple. thanks a ton to every for the help in making a good decision. this is by far the best LCD monitor i have ever owned. i like it more than the Samsung 305T and its smaller......
