alright, just been notified that my refund has been put into my account now. its decision time.
I've thought long and hard about what I really want with this new monitor purchase.
I want it to be compatible with both my pc and xbox 360...not worried about input lag.
I want a "wow" panel, my current monitor is a samsung Syncmaster XL2370 TN panel..I want something that's really gunna show me what all the hype is about when it comes to IPS/PLS.
Not absolutely essential, but i'd love to experience higher Hz gaming. just anything over 60hz - so preferrably overclockable.
I've just found this Crossover 2720MDP Pixel perfect here:

considering this has the inputs (Dual link DVI, DP, VGA and HDMI) it appears to be overclockable according to the sellers notes too...this could be a great choice for me. Completely happy to pay $650NZD for this if the panel itself is up to scratch.
Even though you can use adaptors (hdmi to dual link dvi) I've read a lot of people confirming that a lot of the DVI only monitors do not work with the Xbox 360 which would seriously annoy me lol..
Anyway, anyone know if this monitors picture quality is as good as the Crossover 27Q/overlord/catleap etc? it uses the LG S-IPS...so im guessing its the same panel again as the 27Q and catleap whereas the newer Qnix use the PLS panel from the samsung 27a850?
One thing I have read about is the catleaps,27Q and 2720mdp usually whine, whereas the Qnix/xstar using the PLS panel from samsung usually doesn't whine?
but yeah, id like the connectivity options as I have broken up with my baby mama so won't have a tv for the 360 to be used on, amongst lots of other crap lol..but gaming matters right?..
let me know what you think guys. I have give or take maybe $750NZD max to shell out on this upgrade.
getting excited now, sheits gettin serious.
