I purchased this monitor as i was tempted by the 2ms Response time, and chose to pay more than the nearest rivals. the desktop image quality was ok. i found the windows desktop suffered from bad ghosting, which really surprised me. In games the monitor was good, i found no ghosting and a good image. Pros: Good fast image for gaming Middle: Average amount of Settings Cons: Really Bad Ghosting on Desktop In short, if you play a lot more than you browse this will be good, if you browse and game then it may be better to look elsewhere.
