I'm thinking about getting this. I love my 21" Dell Trinitron however it is 80+ pounds and I was wondering what the abilites of the W2300 are. I work for dell and last month made about half the "points" required to get a free one. I figure at the end of this next month I should have plenty. I should know about this product seeing as I do work for dell. However the only model i've seen is the 30" which I must say is jaw dropping. If the 23" is like the 30" then I'd be very happy with it. However one thing that I was unable to do was use the monitor to play any kind of game. Is there anyone out there who has one or a HDTV with similar specs as far as refreshrate and all that goes? I'd like to know how it handles gaming.

I also noticed that the 17" model list the supported digital TV types under tech specs however the 23" doesnt. Any ideas why?

I've been thiking about getting one just for the TV
aspect. It'd work great in the bedroom with a wall mount bracket. Noone here got any hands on experience with this puppy? I'm wondering if I can set up my directtv tuner to display in the 16:9 ratio rather than the standard 4:5, and would it then lose those annoying bars on the programs that are currently broadcast in the 16:9 ratio?
