Just a heads up to those who are interested, this is a TV so it has a relatively low res (1280x720).

I use it only as my computer monitor, and I can tell you this thing is awesome. I play bf2, half-life 2, need for speed mw and Its just so awesome graphic wise. NO ghosting noted. I use it with dvi. Oh and its very big, took some time getting used to it, text on desktop and webpages are very crisp. I would recommend this to anyone not looking for high resolution games above 1280x720 which imo just looks just as good.

Is this worth getting. I have been wanting to relace my 19" LCD with something bigger, but don't know if I want something this big. I watch a lot of DVD's and TV from my computer, so I am thinking that this may be a good investment. Anything close to this size at a lower price?

Any good Dell coupons to get the price down? The 24 inch is 846.00

HAHA, I just posted in the Gateway thread about this monitor. I have had one for almost a year and LOVE IT!!!! It sites back about three feet from my eyes and is great. I picked mine up at Fry's the day it opened and they sold me an open box one for 599.00. Open box for 6 hours, sure. I went back a couple of weekends ago and it is now over a grand. After you use this monitor you will not want to go back to anything smaller, not even a 21 inch LCD that does 1650X1050!

If I gave you a choice between this monitor and a 24" widescreen Dell what would you pick?

What do you do mostly on your system? Do you game, watch movies, TV etc?

To be honest I have never seen the Dell in person. This monitor fits with my desk though and it would be hard for me to go to a smaller monitor. Before I used two 21 inch CRT's and they were a bit closer to my eyes, the LCD makes it so I can move the viewing screen back. Currently the screen is about 3 feet from my eyes which is good since I am on a computer 12-16 hours a day.

I game, mostly BF II but some CS:S. I also writein Word and surf the web all day long.
