HP F2105 - $639.99 + Tax after rebate @ CC

I was browsing through the CC website this evening and came across this. The monitor does look cool and has full HDTV capabilities. CC is offering it for $689.99 this week (online). HP has a $50 MIR which makes the price $639.99. There weren't any reviews on this online, but I was able to find a video of it on CNET. It has some cool features as listed on HP's website:

21? Thin-Film Transistor LCD active matrix
Native Resolution: 1680 x 1050
Contrast Ratio (typical): Up to 900:1 (typical)
Brightness (typical): Up to 300 nits (typical)
Vertical Viewing Angle (typical): (typical) Up to 178°
Horizontal Viewing Angle (typical): (typical) Up to 178°
Pixel Pitch: .270mm
Response Time (typical): As fast as 12 ms(gray to gray)
Horizontal Scan Range: 30 to 94 KHz
Vertical Scan Range: 48 to 85 Hz
Signal Input Connectors: 15-pin miniature D-sub; DVI-D; Stereo RCA audio (input and output): 1680x1050 at 60 Hz (recommended and maximum)
HDTV Modes: 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i
Power Supply: Built in Universal/Auto Sensing, 100?240 VAC, 50?60Hz
User Programmable Modes: 10 - This means it has PIP, PBP, etc.??

It could very well be compared to DELL's 2005FPW. Of course, it doesn't have all the good inputs that DELL offers, but it supports HDTV natively. The response time is great (at least if HP is not lying) too. I hope to check it out tomorrow @ CC and see how it looks. Just thought this might be a decent deal for some of you interested in a HDTV monitor with a faster response time. Another thing I am unsure of is HP's dead pixel policy. Other than that the deal looks sweet.

Here is the link!

- Thanks tfinch2 for reminding me

IF this is a better version of the 2005fpw i may be in heaven.

I went to two CC's & none of them have it on display in Tampa Bay area. Only one of them had it in-stock in their "warehouse." If someone could find a review on this, please post the link.

What exactly do you mean by supports HDTV natively(as opposed to 2005FPW) -- just like 2005fpw it will display VGA/DVI-fed content. Dell has more inputs than this, less than an inch shorter diagonally but about $250 cheaper. I dont see this as that much of a deal for HDTV monitor -- 26inch HDTV monitors could be had for this price and i dont see this as much of a deal for a computer LCD -- dell lcds are cheaper
