I ordered like an hour ago and it went thru. I was debating between this and 22inch Samsung.

Got the monitor yesterday. So far it looks good.

the contrast ratio is 800:1, other than that, it's better than this one

2ms is very important for me. That is why I changed my 22" 5ms LCD for this one. I think same goes for most gamers.

According to http://www.letheonline.net/consumption.htm , it uses 25-45 watts. If what tiger wrote is true (Power Consumption: 320W ), this Spectre will pay for itself on electric usage.

the problem with being picky about response time is that the stat you're looking for doesn't describe what you'r really trying to get. Most response times today are grey-to-grey not black-to-white or white-to-black like they used to use. A 2ms grey-to-grey monitor might have no ghosting on a medium lit scene with even colors but could have severe ghosting on a dark scene with a bright object moving in it or a bright scene with a dark object moving. Whereas a 5ms black-to-whit monitor might have much less ghosting on bright and dark scenes and perform as well in medium lit scenes.

Using grey-to-grey response times as a measurement is like measuring a car's 0-60mph gong down a steep hill.... while it may be measuring something, it's not measuring it the way you'd want it to be.

I think response time is being treated the same way 'dyanmic' contrast ratio is. Once the manufacturers realized people were nitpicking on a certain spec, they started changing the way they measured the spec so they could artifically inflate the numbers and sell more.

do games have 1920x1080 resolution settings?
