Ordered 8/21 and received 8/22.
No dead pixels and seems pretty quality. Quake3 looks great, DVDs look great, no "ghosting" that I can tell at 1280x1024 @ 75hz connected to a GEForce4 4600 with DVI cable. Text however is taking some getting used to as it's somewhat grainy compared to the text on the 21" Trinitron tube that it replaced. Cleartype is turned on in XP. $700 is an awful lot of money for *any* monitor in my opinion, but it's nice to have some desk space back.
Using one computer with DVI cable and another with the analog cable at the same time, there is no big difference when switching the monitor back and forth between computers.
