Had one now for a couple of years, never going back. I didn’t see fit to get the sound bar, but then I have a pretty nice sound system to make up for it.

Out of the box, Too bright, tons of banding. After I used my spyder2 calibrator, blacks were crushed and after fiddling around for a while I found the following settings best.
Brightness=85 (out of the box=80)
Contrast=90 (out of the box=50)
(Then goto user color and turn down the rgb)

Red = 58 (out of the box=100)
Green = 58 (out of the box=100)
Blue = 60 (out of the box=100)

With this setup, most of the banding went away and it works great for photoediting.

Saw this monitor in the store yesterday. I want it! You forgot to mention the most eye-popping difference between this monitor and its competition: the 450 cd/m^2 brightness. For us recent LCD converts who clung to CRTs because of the greater brightness, this spec is a make or break.

What settings are you using (DVI or VGA, Bright/Cont/R/G/B/etc.)? I just bought this yesterday, but cannot get the colors and brightness set right (I’m on DVI). Gradients are all banded to crazy (looks like paintbrush strokes lined up) and the black levels are crushed. I based my tests off of the gradients & darkscale tests available here:
