Haven't found a topic that specifically pits these two monitors against each other... So which 30" would you choose, and why?

Gaming, photo/video editing, and movie viewing are the highest priorities for me, personally, and I'm liking the idea of the S-IPS panel and the contrast ratio on paper for the Dell. Having no personal experience with either monitor, however, leads me to ask the question here.

Thanks for any input,
Mike
 
Right now I wouldn't get either. Definitely not the Gateway. I had one and had to return it. The new NEC 30" look's like it might be the top dog for a while.
 
It comes down to:
Gateway: Monitor blanking out for a second randomly, occasionally.
Dell: Severe backlight bleeding issues.

Both have issues no $1400+ monitor should have.
 
Lets not forget about input lag. Havent read any reports regarding input lag with the new Dell, but if it isnt nearly as bad as the XHD3000, then that alone makes it the winner.

The XHD3000 does have the best picture I have ever seen though. *sigh* so close to being perfect, yet so far.
