Pros: 120 hz, 1080p, 2 ms, awesome performance

Cons: None that I have seen yet aside from price.

When I built my uber gaming rig, i researched and looked for the best I could get as after spending that much money, I did not want to say.."I wish I got that instead."
That said, I paid the extra $100.00 to get the Nvidia 3D transmitter, glasses and DVD that comes right in the box with the monitor and could not be happier. Before I decided on this monitor, I carefully read every consumer review on Newegg, Amazon and other forums in regards to the other two top competitors which were the Acer 23" and the Alienware 120 Hz monitors and I kept seeing complaints about dead pixels in regards to the Acer and a host of issues about the Alienware monitor.
I've been putting this monitor through it's paces for over a year now running almost(the ones that will run it) all my games in 3D including Battlefield 3, all the Crysis games, Metro 2033 and all the rest with 2 overclocked EVGA GTX 580 3 Gb's for about 15 months now, everyday and this monitor has performed flawlessly without so much as any problems at all. None.
If this is the level of performance you're looking for and can afford the price, ( if you buy something else for less and it crap's out on you or doesn't do what you want it to, did you really save ? ) don't waste your time or money on anything else.
This is what you're looking for. thumb.gif

Very true, a great monitor! Love mine
I've had one for 8 months now, and I still love it, the glossy screen can be a turnoff for people who play next to a window that you can't close, because you won't be able to see anything, but I find that it's pretty much the same with non-glossy screens too. I had the same state of mind when I was looking into buying a 120Hz screen, and I can't say that I would have been disappoint with this screen.

If somebody's looking into 120Hz screens (which you should if you play FPS games!) then I would highly recommend this screen. Makes turning in FPS games an absolute joy.
