"My wife got this one first, and I kind of liked it, it was hard for me to switch from my old 24 inch tube monitor, probably because it was so heavy to carry down the stairs hehehe. This is my first LCD monitor and I gotta say that playing games in Wide Screen adds ... a lot of more feel than playing it in thin screen. I'm a huge gamer and everything I play looks AWESOME on this, only thing i'd change is the response time. A good response time for a gamer's LCD is around 3ms, not five. Although, I have never catched the display 'sogging', 'losing' or being generally slow with the quick frame updates in my games."
