Darn. As soon as I decided to get the curved Samsung for £149, this pops up. Much better resolution, not curved but still gorgeous. Free delivery.

No thanks, I'll stick with my multi monitor setup.

Intranix is right. I think people are underestimating just how "short" this monitor will look.
The Dimensions without a stand are 609x287x55. That'll be Millimetres, so the screen is actually not even as tall as the standard 30cm ruler most of used in school.
My current main screen is a 25" Dell 1440p, and the screen is about 310mm tall (without the bezel), and I feel like that's what people will have in their mind when they think 25".
I'm not taking away from it, I just don't want anyone to have buyers remorse when it turns up.

Good find - I will never forgive Novatech after shutting my local store - spent a lot of money there and never bought anything since.

if it helps, the gadget show did some analysis on curved and ultra hd tv, the result was curved wasn't as important and the effect wore off sooner. you could probably view it yourself i think it was john bentley.

Curved is up there with 3D, foolish gimmick which doesn't improve the viewing experience. In most cases makes it worse as not everyone sits directly in front of the screen.

In my book that's a good thing. I appreciate it can be convenience, but unless you are only after the reassuring sound that Windows has booted up, with 10 Watt speakers at best and p!$$ poor bass you will be better off with a dedicated sub and satellite speakers. Sound may as well sound good.

I really fancy buying this monitor, anyone bought one?
Also think my graphics card is DVi so I would have to buy dvi to hdmi converter, does this impact the image quality at all?
Appreciate any feedback please!

You do not need a DVI to HDMI converter, you need a DVI/HDMI adapter. No, there is absolutely no difference in image quality. There is essentially no difference between the signal that comes down a HDMI cable and a DVI cable. The only difference is the connector itself (that and the fact that DVI doesn't carry audio, so you'll need to use whatever you're currently using for the audio). So there is nothing to convert. The connection poses no hindrance to your choice.
