I have owned an ultrasharp for about 3 years now, I bought it used and I would rob a bank with a sharpened stick in the small hope that I would get away with it just to buy one if this one should ever suddenly die! I'm an avid gamer and I tell you that gaming at 2560 x 1600 is a dream. I have seen games like BF3 and Skyrim and Wargame on other 24 -27" monitors and they pale in comparison to this monitor IMO. Even if they are over priced they are worth it to me. Not to mention DELL has a pretty awesome warranty with these things. The guy I bought it from just transfered the warranty over to me just like that for the remaining year. Not to mention watching HD movies. Anyhoo, you will not be dissapointed, just make sure you have at least a 5870ish type card at minimum to play games cranked on this baby. My 5870 is doing a pretty good job for the most part, but it is a minimum for newer games.
