NEC 30" MultiSync LCD3090WQXI BK - Anyone have one of these?

[Syd]

As above - does anyone have have any experience with this screen? Looking as an alternative to the Dell 3008.

Bit techs review does look pretty good

You spent WHAT? on a monitor

Hence why me and my friends are single. I doubt they would be happy to hear that I spent £2300 on a machine, £1800 on a MacBook, and £600 on an HTPC. And that's just me.. my friend Andi has spent, only considering the current components, about £2700 on his PC, and £1800 on his laptop, and £700 on an HTPC.

It's the price we pay for quality. Fortunately, it's worth every penny. I mean comeon, how many people have an HTPC in Mini-ITX form with a Q8200? Seriously?

Cheapest place I could find the NEC 3090 (about £1330 something in total inc vat). They've been around for a while now, never used them, but pretty good from what I've found out about them so far.

The only thing stopping me getting this is that the optimal resolution is 2560 x 1600 which I don't think my 4870 supports, but would go nice with the purchase of the 5870, but its delayed at scan till December & then finally add a wacom intuous 4. Or the other option was to get a Wacom Cintiq for £2k.

If the 4870 doesn't support 2560 x 1600 then a lot of review sites have been falsifying results.

I can't find documentation stating that 4870 can support that resolution, so I'm just assuming that it can't. Plus, running games at that resolution wouldn't be ideal with an old graphics card.

Come on guys a monitor could never cost that much, especially when you can get a GREAT deal on a once only offer

Anyways on topic can anyone give me feedback on the current crop of 30's - i've ruled out the Apple as for gaming it's meant to suck.

So there is the Dell 3008
the NEC

And there is a Sammy and A HP but both of those seem fairly long in the tooth, also it seems there is very little info on them - and ofc you can't see them anywhere

I'm looking at going from a 2405, I know that there are a couple of 3007 users about, but if anyone can give me any experience/thoughts I'd be most grateful

Try a graphics card review.
