Having used PCs and Macs for the better part of two decades, I've seen it all. Let me just say this is by far the best display I've had the pleasure of using.
Pros:
It's an IPS screen (versus TN, PVA or MVA) meaning you'll see incredibly good viewing angels and consistent color. PVA screens are great too (avoid TN and MVA) but IPS still has the edge.
It's a glossy screen, meaning there's no sparkly anti-glare coating blurring small fonts and other details. Colors pop, even the tiniest of details are easily visible. I love it.
It has a glass screen (gorilla glass?), so it's very easy to clean and very hard to scratch.
Speakers are among the best for built in speakers, which isn't saying much, but they're easily better than some larger TVs.
Cons:
While I despise murky antiglare coated displays, there's no denying that glare is a problem under certain conditions.
Displayport is the ONLY input. I'm using the Atlona DP400 to run a GTX 580 through this display via DVI with zero problems at full resolution. But keep in mind this is an extra expense.
The stand's height and orientation cannot be adjusted. It's tilt only.
Bottom line:
You'll notice astounding detail with this display. Everything just pops off the screen. I haven't had this much pleasure with a display since the old Trinitron days of the 80's, guide wires and all.
