I have the 714 model and love it. Of course I would like a 19 or 20" LCD, but for the price and viewing quality, this one can't be beat.

I play Battlefield 1942 and HL2 on it and notice no ghosting whatsoever (on the DVI connection to my 9800 Pro). I have a TV card in my Shuttle, and TV and video playback are decent.
