Nice display, been meaning to get one sometime soon.. is it worth the extra $450 compared to the 20" Dell LCD? For the price of the 24" I can get two 20", but I prefer one big monitor rather than two. Oh, and I'll be using them with a Powermac so I can do dual displays..

I was using a 2005fpw before I got this. It was an excellent screen, but this one is quite larger. Obviously it is wider, but I am appreciating its height more. Excellent screen. And runs xbox 360 beautifully. Buy this one. And then if later you are feeling down, charge a second 2405fpw

Definitely a nice monitor. I'm quite jealous... i want a 360 but there are none to be found in my area. I'm sure I'll be able to get one by christmas time, but we'll see. BTW... the z560s kick much arse. I have a set of them and a set of z5500s... both are truly great sets of speakers.

Yeah. The xbox purchase was an interesting one. I wasn't even planning on getting it, but when I heard last week that circuit city was selling a few on friday at 2pm I was all over the server. Took 2 hours and a lot of maneuvering to get that order through, but it is a real tight system.

Anyways, the PB is running the monitor real well. No lags anywhere in expose or any of the common functions. My brother tried WoW and it was completely unplayable.

Not a single problem. Runs great. I think the problem is grossly exaggerated. But it is a problem nonetheless.
