I just received this monitor yesterday, and I must say that I am very very impressed with all aspects of it. It is bright, clear and sharp. I have seen no ghosting whatsoever, and no dead pixels. I have played a number of games on it - some racing and fsp's - absolutely no ghosting that I could tell, but I am not a heavy gamer.
In fact, I think this monitor might be brand new - there was a slip of paper inside stating that this was a "replacement" monitor, that when you returned the original monitor to be sure you also return the accessory kit that came with it. So apparently, this is a new monitor sent to replace a problem monitor. The box did say, however, that the monitor was "refurbished" but I am wondering if it really is. The model # is 7004201 with FPD1830 stamped on the upper left hand corner of the monitor itself.
I highly recommend this monitor to anyone for any reason. I even got $14.40 from eBates that I wasnt expecting. Amazing deal for $348 and change, net.
See one of my recent posts above for the 10% off link that expires on 6/30 so its still good!
