The specs are good, with the possible exception of the brightness and contrast. Those are better than any PC monitor I know, but there are LCD/plasma at a similar retail price with better values.
And I know this is trivial, but the thing is a monitor and not a TV, meaning that to be able to watch TV you will need an external tuner. And, since it seems that there is a single HDMI input, you may have problems when connecting more than one HD source. This can anyway be solved (HDMI switches, using component input, using HDMI to DVI...).
