So, my camera was forgotten at my grandma's so no pics right now.
However, heres my first impressions:
System is WinXp, 2560x1600 on a Nvidia 7800 Gtx (256mb ram). The screen has not been calibrated.
No noticable lag.
Im not a fps player, but neither in windows, nor in wow, was there any problems that I could see. This may be different for other more sensitive people. But compared to my 2405 wfp, there was no difference.
No backbleed at all and colors was uniform across the board. The only difference in color, from one side to the other was due to reflections in the coating. I tried with uniform black, white, green, yellow and red. They all looked completely uniform.
The coating: is annoying. There seems to be a very thin layer of crystals, that are especially visible in the white and light colors. This is annoying. I suppose its the IPS glow that was mentioned above, so maybe theres no way arround it. However, to me it looks like the coating reflects the light nonuniformly, thereby creating a tingling, glittering sensation in the white areas. I am going to have to look into this. Perhaps adjusting the brightness or something will help. It certainly do seem very "screaming" in a sense. Perhaps calibration can solve this, however as I have no experience in that area, there seems to be a journey of learning and discovering ahead here.
Build quality: Very nice indeed. Though, as I tried to wipe the screen to see if the effect described above would go away, it seems that the glas/whatever plate in front, can be pushed in a few mm. This seems to be the case for the entire front. It does however pop right back out, and have no effect on colors whatsoever.
As for the problems that was described with the earlier versions, I have seen none of them (but then its my impression that not all of the earlies dell 3008 had the errors. It does run very hot at the top. After a few hours, its so hot, its unpleasant to rest my hand on the center top of the monitor.
General impression: This screen was bought for light gaming, and for programming. The extra resolution was what I really wanted, as well as a general purpose nice screen. I think I got it.
