My idea here is too make a place where people who own or are considering purchasing can have a thread to post questions to owners and for all of us owners to share are experience with these great monitors.
FAQ
Q: What kind of input lag would I encounter ?
A: All owners I have talked with have encountered no noticeable input lag. Review
Q : What is the difference between SA750 and SA950 ?
A: The differences is the stand and SA750 has no DVI input. The panels are the same and all other specs should line up. (You will have to use DisplayPort for 120hz no adapters for SA750)
Q: The T27A950 is more expensive that means it's better right ?
A: No, the 'T' Monitors are really for TV it has no DVI port and is for someone that watches TV and plays XBOX this is not for computers.
Q: I really want to make sure I have 120hz what will I need ?
A: Most all video cards will have no problem displaying 120hz with no increased GPU load. You will need a Dual Link DVI output and Dual Link DVI-D cable or DisplayPort output and cable. (DVI to DisplayPort adapters won't work but DisplayPort to Dual Link DVI-D Adapters will work) (Adapters are for SA950 only and work with DisplayPort as Source [GPU] to Dual Link DVI-D)
Q: Will this work with Nvidia GPU ?
A: Yes and No, for the 120hz it works great. It is as smooth as butter on my 570's in SLI. BUT this will not work fully with Nvidia 3D Vision. 2D to 3D conversion works the same and also built in 3D in games like Crysis 2 with built in SBS 3D (Side by Side) works flawlessly with Nvidia or AMD. (Edit: The 3D Vision emulator seems to work well if you set your response time to Normal it will eliminate ghosting.)
Q: Will they ever add support for Nvidia 3D Vision ?
A: Most likely Never, Nvidia claims they didn't work with them in creating the monitor (Pay them royalties)
Q: Is the screen reflections to much ?
A: I say No, the best screen I ever owned where glossy screens. On laptop outdoors this would be a problem but this is for indoors. If you don't have lighting directly behind you I'm quit confident you won't have any issues with the reflections and will love this monitor like as we all do.
Q: Well I have Nvidia. So should I look for another monitor since it don't support 3D vision ?
A: I think you should ask your self how much 3D do you plan on playing. Because with the emulator I was able to play for hours and thats all I really wanted. I too own Nvidia and have no regrets owning this monitor I bought it for 120hz, and a little 3D game play. Most 3D setups give me a head ache. So most people that are shopping for a 3D monitor thinking they will actually be playing 3D games every night are really deceiving themselves because its not as practical as you may think I even feel dizy hours after I played and it is not always going to work on any and every game either don't matter what monitor you have or what GPU you have both sides have issues with setup and drivers and troubleshooting will be a given. But the colors on these monitor along with the 120hz which is Amazing and low input lag really in my opinion set it apart from all the rest of the monitors currently on the market (as of 10/28/2011) despite whether you have Nvidia or AMD.

Know Issues
The Display Port drivers seem to fail on Nvidia 6xx and AMD 7xxx cards. If you are having monitor randomly shut off going to a black screen or hear "new device connected" sounds in windows followed by black screen then you might have to use Dual Link DVI if this becomes to much of a annoyance to you. If you know how to resolve this issue please PM me.
Tips & Tricks
1. When installing you should install the driver from the disc that came with the monitor. I know monitor drivers are not always necessary but this is a special monitor. Also may have to restart one to two times.
2. Color Settings. Try these settings See this Post This is a good start. Credit: SeanPoe
3. Here is a great post on 3D setting and setup See this Post Credit: SeanPoe
4. Many are reporting the 3D Vision Emulator working well with Nvidia cards (Note: turn response time to 'Normal')
5. If a game won't allow 120hz. You can create a custom resolution (Nvidia Control Pannel>Change Resolution>Customize>Create Custom Resolution) Use "1920x1079 @120hz progresive Timings Automatic" (I had to open drop down and change Timings to Automatic) Now in any game you can pick 1079 as a resolution and it will run it at 120hz. I had to do this for Dirt3 to run at 120hz. Credit: Unknown
6. Two different users have reported their SA750's turning off every 10 minutes, and not coming back on without doing a power cycle. Both instances where fixed by poking at the small fan to get the fan spinning on the SA750. Be careful if you attempt this.
7. Remember if you have ghosting with 3D modes make sure you set your RESPONSE TIME to NORMAL under the monitor picture settings.

I really love my Monitor. It is the best monitor by far I ever owned. This is the first owners thread I have started.
I plan to add more this is really a rough draft.
If anyone knows any good review or and FAQ they want to add please post.
EDIT : I originally thought that audio only worked through HDMI with this monitor headphone jack. But I can confirm it does seem to work with DisplayPort audio out with the 7970. This is good new for some that like using the headphone out for audio. So far I have a little feedback. Usually headphone out from HDMI or DP on Monitor provides a cleaner sound than on board 3.5mm jacks from motherboard. But for some reason so far I have slight feedback from the headphone output this may be because I have two inputs right into my monitor.
