"Great monitor, little pricy"
Pros: lots of inputs, looks awesome, huge, pip and pbp options
Cons: pixel density low, expensive
Summary: This is a perfect monitor for people who want a little bit more then just a 24" w/o having to exclusively use dual dvi inputs. If you were like me and wanted to get something a little more then just a 24" LCD, but wanted more flexibility with inputs then the 30" LCD's offered, this is it. This monitor has the same resolution as the 24" ones, so you don't have any more desktop real estate then you would with the 24's. But this LCD isn't about real estate, its about size. Its a huge upgrade in screen size over the 24".
So if the resolutions the same then why not just get the 30" and get the higher rez, right? The 30" displays on the market all require dual DVI to achieve the 2,560 x 1,600 resolution. The down side to that is to prevent the 30" LCDs from stepping on their TV lines toes, no other inputs are offered. Not that many other inputs could meet the 2,560 x 1,600 native anyways.
I wanted something that I could hook up, not only my computer to, but my cable TV, x-box 360, and DVD player. This has everything I need, and it has pip and pbp to boot. The picture is clear, I don't notice much ghosting and I like to game on it when I have free time. My 1080i videos look incredible on this display.
When I got it the price was 300$ less then the 30", but now the 30" is dropping in price. I would wait until this screen dropped to 1000$ or below, which will happen to help even out their price range. I wouldn't be surprised to see that happen in the next month or so.
