I have one of these and it's nice but 17:9 support is pretty crummy for gaming unless you like a one black bar on either side of your screen in many games. You could always wait for flawless widescreen mod to be patched but that means no playing games at launch (have to wait for a free hack for 17:9) and no online gaming because widescreen mods will get you banned. So if you just play single player games and don't mind waiting a few weeks after launch to play games and run a background app to get 17:9 support, this is a nice monitor. Also most cutscenes and menus are fixed 16:9 in majority of games so even flawless widescreen mod won't fix the black bars there, but will in normal gameplay. Otherwise, wait for the Benq BL3201PT coming out on November 10, $999 (cheaper), and 32" (1.7 inches bigger, this monitor is really a 30.3" as it has 1/3 inch black border within the bezel that has no active pixels).
