    This should be released within 10 days. Did anyone find some reviews yet?

    Wow I just looked up info on this thing, and I am thoroughly hyped. I can't seem to find anything about the number and type of inputs it has, though. Do you know anything about that, Phil?

    Hmmm... VGA, DVI and HDMI.

    But looks like static contrast ratio is 3,000:1, which is among the higher CRs I've seen for LCDs of that size, I guess, but nowhere near the dynamic 5,000,000:1 they were bandying about in all the press releases.

    I'll wait for reviews.

    3000:1 would be extremely good, if it's true. I am looking forward to see some measurements.

    Another TN though. Kind of disappointing.

    September?! What happened to the August release date? :(

    I'm looking to pick up a monitor at the end of August, early September for $400 or less. Any recommendations above the Samsung XL2370?

    I don't mind. I'm mainly interested in good contrast from straight on and value for money.

    Viewing angles and color accuracy are not very important to me.

    I'm sitting in front of a 22" TN panel now and it is very good imo.
