I just upgraded from my HP 23" fp2305 to an LP3065, their new 30", and all I can say is wow. The 1000 to 1 contrast ratio combined with the 92% color gamut will knock your socks off. I instantly noticed the difference when I loaded games like NWN2 and Medieval Total War 2. Colors are vibrant and brilliant and blacks are very dark.
The monitor is constructed very well, similar to my last HP. It doesn't have that flimsy, cheap feel to it that you get with cheaper monitors (I've had Acer, LG, BenQ, etc. myself). It has a very nifty base/neck that allows you to simply snap the monitor into place. Once it's connected you can rotate it 45/30 horizontal/vertical I believe, or something alone those lines. Nevertheless, a nifty feature, but I don't know if I'd use it.
The good news is that with two 8800 GTXs in 2560x1600 can run games at super high frame rates, which is what I had hoped for. I had originally considered getting the Dell, but I'm glad I stuck with HP. This monitor is superb and the quality construction is worth the extra few bucks. Not a single dead pixel on arrival and worked beautifully right out of the box.
If you are considering this monitor and have any questions let me know.
