I've seen these as low as $299, and while its not 30" its close, and its not $1,000. I had a 28" hanns g before it went out and I bought this one, and I've been very happy with it. The only thing I've noted that it does poorly is red text on a black background.
While I was waiting for it to come in I gamed on a 20" monitor and it was a pathetic excuse for gaming IMO

I really have to throw my weight behind Asus' displays. Their customer support is great, (Free advanced replacement RMA) and the picture quality is aces too.

wow that is crazy cheap. i think i paid more for my 23 than that. do you think my gtx 560 ti will run that ok, for most gaming, or will i then have to upgrade that. after ive upgraded to the new cpu and motherboard that i listed above (actually that Ravy listed for me)
I really wish i could test these monitors out before i try em. that just seems too good of a deal.
thanks

Honestly, buy it with full confidence. You won't need an upgraded GPU for that resolution. I push 1920x1200 just fine with my 560 TI.

Most 23 inch monitors are 1920x1080 or 1920x1200. So this 27 inch monitor would not require any extra graphics power (resolution, not size is what determines how hard the graphics card is pushed).
30 inch monitors are so pricey, no for the size, but the 2560x1600 resolution. 4+ million pretty little pixels.

Well, that and the type of panel. This is a TN instead of an IPS / S-IPS of some kind. At the end of the day, I can't afford 1.2k - 1.5k for a 30" monitor so this is a happy compromise.
My old hanns g was definitely a bit off when it came to colors, and it created heat like no ones business. Thankfully this does not put out near the same amount of heat.

will the 27 look washed out at all, since im used to the same res on a smaller screen? I hadnt thought of that, how would it effect gaming. Im a bit of a graphic Nazi.

I play on a 25.5 at @ 1080p and I have no complaints. YMMV, but I doubt you'll have a problem.
