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. I switched it out and started out with a simple VGA cable, I wasn't too impressed by it to be honest, switched to DVI and ... it was everything I'd hope it to be. 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.
