cool
what's it like for fast-moving pictures and stuff? (i.e. games and vids)

Gaming
The 7ms grey-to-grey response time makes for a bit of blurring in fast moving scenes, so I wouldn't recommend it to gamers. It's a professional TFT, not really an entertainment option.

Pivoting to Portrait mode?
Can the British version pivot into portrait mode, like the July 2009 press release from Japan says?

Perhaps I should have clicked on the Specs tab first...

Contradiction
Quite often the ratings on your site seem to contradict the review text. You say this monitor "costs just £299" and yet value for money is only 4 stars?
I'm looking at the summary page and picking monitors with high ratings to investigate further, but the full review usually says something to put me off.
I need a monitor primarily for professional (home-based) web development work, but also might be used occcasionally for HD video editing, and it would be nice to be able to watch a DVD / blu-ray on it now and then. Also if I can find the right thing there's a good chance I'll buy 2 the same, as I currently work with a dual-monitor setup and don't want to go back to using just one.
Unfortunately, the more reviews I read the further I get from making a decision! Any advice?
