There's also the real issue of never having a dark screen in a dark
room - the backlight bleed-through can be quite bad (the opposite of
plasma IIRC)- I'd always try and see the screen in action in different
lighting conditions (or at least try to get a neutral opinion) before
purchasing. Obviously some people will notice this more than others so
it may not be an issue (I see this on my 19" Acer LCD monitor too,
although it's used more in the day).
Also note it has not HD-Ready, doesn't contain a FreeView tuner, and
doesn't seem to have component video inputs, but saying that, it could
be a real bargain if it's going to be used solely via DVI.
