Well I have one today, and it arrived at 8pm, I wasn't expecting it
for another week, but it came early, and I am not complaining.

First impressions are: very easy to set up both mechanically and
electronically. I like the idea of having 2 USB2 ports available on
the side of the monitor. Next it has NO dead pixels, and I have to
say looks really smart, and I am very pleased with it. In the end I
ordered it direct from Dell.

One problem though, my Nebula digital TV card does not work with it -
I get the error message "cannot attach to hardware display surface"
:-(. Must try and sort this one out.
