I really like the monitor, looking at it compared to my old 27" it is huge (wife has my 27" on her desk :P ) .
With all the screw ups Dell did on the purchase I got an additional $100 off the price and so it came in at 1199 plus tax, I took out the 4 year warranty too, just in case it dies, it would be hard to pull that sort of money together and justify the same purchase ALTHOUGH I would HATE to go back to a smaller monitor.
I did upgrade to a 7970 video card too and in WoW it is running the main in Ultra with everything maxed and the slaves are on high. Main is at a steady 45fps and in dungeons maxes out to 60fps as per ISBoxer settings.
