I have an A panel and the more I use it the more I am convinced that way too much is being made of this S vs A thing. This monitor looks great. I did take some time adjusting the colors to get it to look good because like I said before, the default colors are crap.
Add a $29 stand to get height, tilt and spin adjustments and this monitor is awesome. The backlight bleed is not that bad and even on this forum with the black background you don't see it. Really, if you're considering this monitor and get an A panel I seriously doubt you'll be disappointed. It is bright, it has great contrast, it has awesome response time it has a three year warranty and it's priced well. Read the LG thread, they say those have more bleed even than the A panels.
It's just my opinion as an owner of this monitor - even the A panels are awesome. If you get an S monitor, it's awesome +1. Either way I'm sure you'll be very happy with it.
