Awesome monitor......think I may just get one later on this year. My present monitor will be related to HTPC/2nd game rig together with my present rig. Gosh, gonna have to start from scratch.....and it's gonna cost an arm and a leg, but after seeing these pics, I think it worth it. One thing's holding me back though, and that's the native res of the Dell......only X-Fire/SLi rigs can do those insane numbers, I'd prefer to run a single card........shouldn't be a problem if dual core GPUs become the norm in the future.
groutyzoob, you're doin' 1280x800? That's exactly half of the native res of the 3007WFP, it still looks good coz there's no interpolation, right? I run games on my Benq 30" LCD TV/monitor @1280x768 (very close to yours in terms of res) and I'm very happy with the IQ, 'course my Ultra isn't a match for your X1800XL, so my eye candy's lower....still looks sweet though.
I'm only going to run native res in OLD games (if it supports), or desktop.
You are correct, 1280x800 looks great since it is 2:1. I just tried 1920x1200 and it looked fuzzy.
Gaming is actually FUN again. I don't need to push insane resolutions (1920x1200..ahem 2405FPW), and I don't need to upgrade my video card for the time being. Spent most of last night playing CSS. I can definately feel a difference in terms of input lag. The shadowy/dark areas in the game are difficult to see, and flash bangs hurt my REAL eyes. Soo much white. D:

Yep, that makes sense since present single cards can't do those insane res with eye-candy, even X-Fire/SLi would be a stretch I think. I've been pretty pleased with 1280x768 since I'd bought my Benq, most games at native res with 4xAA/8xAF.....except for FEAR. Even Q4's pretty good at this setting......I'm torn between getting the 3007WFP or a 37" LCD TV/monitor that does 1366x768. But since I ain't in a rush, I guess I'll mull over it. 'Grats on the purchase of that awesome LCD.
