Looks like an amazing price and all reviews I've seen are positive. Never used a widescreen for gaming purposes, are they decent enough for good-spec gaming, such as Half-Life 2, Battlefield 2 etc..

Thoughts? Thanks.

5ms not bad, but never heard of the name, and you get what you pay for, i learned that the hard way buying an lcd (pixels tend to go bad quicker)

Yes, been reading a lot of reviews and they say no pixel has died yet.. I too haven't heard of the brand - but the reviews do seem very, very promising.

The human eye blinks at 100-150 ms. The difference between 5 and 3 now seems less important doesnt it.

I've been hearing a lot of good things about Hanns-G. Just be sure it has DVI.

For those who want to comment on the specs : -

res 1440x900

aspect 16:10

contrast ratio 700:1

brightness 300cd/m2

respose time 5ms

For the money seems like a bargain to me
