I purchased on of these about 6 weeks ago and have been nothing but pleased.
From the matte finish on the screen to the plethora of inputs its almost the perfect monitor.
Gaming is great also, as pretty much all modern games offer resolutions based upon what the video driver tells the game it can run.
And to not have any more letterboxing on movies is fantastic. [censored]ing about the lack of a rotate feature is simply asinine, there is NO conceivable way anything with such an aspect ratio would be useful in portrait mode and simply isn't something that any real user would have a use for.
A USB hub would have been nice, but its really no great loss, and unless EVERY other screen had this there is no way this should be considered a negative.
Given the connectivity options, a remote would have been a great addition like my 2 Asus 27" panels do.
And as for the speakers, they should have been dropped from the design from the start.
