I have that monitor as my secondary. Awesome for watching movies and in general when it's nice to have a larger desktop (like when working with music) but completely useless to play Q3 with. Perhaps if you're used to playing at 60hz it might be possible to game with, I dunno...

But yeah it's awesome for everything else.

Beware though that there were 3 different manufacturers for this one, apparantly one was great, one was "meh" and one sucked balls. I don't remember the details unfortunately, google might.
