I have one. I think it fills a niche. If you want to play games, want a big screen, and want to save money it is pretty good.
But obviously if Input lag is not an issue (i.e. you don't play games) then you can do better - even for the money - for movie watching. It is a BIG TN panel. You get a lot of vertical viewing angle issues if you try to use it as a TV for more than 1 or 2 people. Some feel it has bad color shifting. I'm not an LCD expert - but I really don't find any issues with the picture as long as you are using it as a computer screen - iow right in front of you without moving around too much.
Playing games is fun and I really feel no lag which is great for a 26" screen.
Obviously, if you have the cash then a 24" S-IPS screen would be better at games (almost as fast) and no TN issues. But sometimes money is an issue
