Which 1 do I choose????

Im in a jam, I have found these two awsome LCD's on Costco's site that both meet my criteria I need. I play a lot of games and need a fast monitor, has solid black levels, has an excelent contrast ratio, and has crystal clear clarity. Both these can give me this, but they are about a $100 apart from eachother, should I spring for the Samsung or go with the Scepter?

I'm also building a new system that will be running on the 9800GTX's from Nvidia and I know they use the new display port, should I even worry about getting a monitor now or should I wait till the new port comes out?

I know the problem, I think too much, lol.

I am curious what people think of this DCLCD DCL24A .
Costco has it for 350 until 0ct23
Newegg has it for 370 right now

SLI: I ended up ordering the DCLCD. I will let you know what I think about it when it arrives.

The only negative I could find was that a reviewer felt the blues were a little hot. It seems like that would just require some adjustment. Plus I mainly play games, where color accuracy isnt ultra critical. The other con would be that DCLCD/Septre have a reputation for having dead pixles. No problem there, Costco will take anything back for any reason.

Display port would not have the industry support it does if it were not backwards compatible with DVI. In fact, the first incarnation of Display Port has no real bandwidth improvement over DVI, so it really wouldn't be so bad if you stuck with DVI for a while, unless you're intent on daisychaining monitors. I think there's a Bit-Tech article clarifying the matter.
