Have you tried the monitor with component input? Could you tell me if it looks good? I'm about to buy this monitor (maybe) and my big selling point for a monitor is that it looks good with component input at 720p from my 360.

I've been tempted to pick up this monitor for the longest time now. The only thing that worries me is the size. I have a 17" LCD right now, which is beginning to feel cramped, but I don't want to feel the same way about 20" wide after a few months on such a pricey monitor.

Do any of you guys with this screen ever feel the lust for more space? Or is 20" enough?

Same as far as the 360 part.

Im somewhat torn still between my NEC FE2111SB CRT that ive been using for about 2 years, though its beginning to be hard on my eyes. I am really interested in widescreen gaming and know that LCD's are much better on the eyes, yet would like a 75hz version of this monitor.

Could I hook up both to my 8800GTX and switch between monitors as I please for different puposes? Im kind of a noob when it comes to dual-head and LCD's.

i had a 17" before this too. its about 1/3 bigger which is ok i guess. i dont really feel the need for more.

i know at my old work i did some programming and for something like that it might be a bit cramped (i used to use 2 17s at work) but still i think it'd be ok. i tried a 24" out for a day before getting this, and i felt that 20" was just about right for me. 24" was bigger obviously but i didnt think i need that much space (not to mention the screen was so big it was like sitting in the front row of a movie theater, very disorienting)
