FitzRoy said:This is important if you people don't understand this. Unlike the 2005fpw, this monitor has no oddball vertical resolution, so you should be able to do a common native 4:3 in the center with 1600:1200 with black bars on the sides - no stretching, no scaling. Performance sucks? 800x600 - no stretching, no scaling.
This panel also apparently uses the best type of LCD Panel - PVA. Most faithful black reproduction and viewing angles of any panel type. No purple tint from S-IPS, just a great image with great blacks all around. And with the new PVA low-ms tech in this new panel, I'm sure it should handle motion like a champ.
Still, if you're a gamer I have to say you might be better off with a 4:3 19 or 21" panel. Christ people, computer monitors aren't tvs, you sit so close to the screen. You don't need something that big to feel immersed and you certainly aren't going to be able to use any kind of lcd competitively. This panel looks heavily, heavily geared towards HDTV, DVD and HD-DVD use.
U forgot that this monitor might be very good for graphics, and general productivity, multi-tasking work (like software development) I'd get it just for that reason alone, forget gaming and HD-video
