Just got mine hooked up. My lord is it gorgeous. The PPI is simply stunning. I was only able to spend about 30 mins with it till we had to leave for the in laws for the night. Windows 7 dpi scaling isn't as terrible as I though it would be. Probably cause of how small the pixels actually are, 150% actually makes things normal.
As far as games are concerned, I pretty much only had time to run a couple quick benchies with zero time to tinker.
I run 780 ti's in sli.
Tomb Raider with max settings minus AA.
was 61 fps ave
Metro LL max settings minus AA with PhysX
was 51 fps
Crysis 3
The game was choppy on Ultra with no AA FPS seemed to be in the upper 40's however. dropping settings down to high resulted in a big fps jump to the 60's yet it still didn't seem smooth. Again I had no time to tinker, just wanted to check a couple games out.
Skyrim
I couldn't get the game to launch. I kept getting an error saying that resolution wasn't supported by device. Skyrim is a picky animal. Maybe I was overlooking a small detail.
My 30 minute eval left me dying to get home to spend more time with it.
The stand is very sturdy and is of excellent fit and finish. Has a very Apple feel to it. The pivot mechanism seems a little loose on mine and almost seems to not sit flat. I've had this problem before on a 2407 wfp. I should be able to rememdy it. Just wanted to make note
No DVI, at all. Meh, time to move on I guess.
I did a very quick dead pixel assessment which I can say with 90% confidence that there are none. I will have to look closer (literally) later. I don't even know if I could actually see one if there were any. The pixels are that small.
Back light uniformity looked spot on, at least nothing glaringly obvious.
I hope to chime in tomorrow night with a few pics of the screen in action and a better "seat of the pants" opinion.

I'm having a couple weird little problems that I'm still trying to work through. The monitor doesn't come out of sleep when I turn the computer on from an extender cold boot. I have to either pull the display port cable or power cycle it. Infrequently when it does come on the left half of the screen is slightly garbled but corrects itself with a power cycle/cable cble cycle/input cycle... Not sure if it either of these issues are monitor related or how my video card and or drivers are handling MST. It's always the left side of the screen.
Even if it is the monitor, I won't exchange it right away. I'd rather wait till newer revisions come out.
