Well, after researching this and reading Cnet reviews etc, I took the plunge. Lessons Learned:
1. Brightness: Very nice. Absolutely no problem here despite what places like Cnet would have you believe. I honestly think that those nerds just imagine stuff sometimes.
2. Black Level: I'm a stickler for this and found this monitor to have deep blacks. I really don't understand the people who buy 4000 dollar plus televisions for "bottomless blacks." What nonsense.
3. Colors: Accurate as far as a layman like me can tell. Nice all around.
4. Whites: Pretty white? It looks white and not some washed out light gray.
5. Backlight: I was afraid of this when choosing a monitor. This one had maybe a very thin and faint backlight bleed around the bottom edge. I'm pretty anal about stuff like this but found it to be so insignificant that even during dark scenes I didn't notice it. And as usual, your backlight results vary depending on if you get a good one or not.
6. GAMES: No ghosting, awesome image, what more can you want?
7. Ergonomics? : I wish it tilted more, it's pretty limited when it comes to that. The buttons are fine and look cool too. It's nice to look at.
8. Viewing angles: Dont come in thinking you can watch it from some retarded angle and get the same quality. As usual with any monitor, you can see colors shift if you move your head too much. It was definitely noticeable with this one (its not some big 40 incher so what do you expect?). But who really watches a monitor from an off angle? You sit down look at the screen and do whatever. Perfectly fine as far as games go.
Overall, I'd buy it again if the need arose. I'm set with my games. Oh and seriously, when researching monitors, most reviews will be glowing simply because people want to justify their purchase. I had to return this one fo financial reasons but will be rebuying it in a few months. Its that good.
