I have the PV3200PT.

I wanted the relative new 32" HP dreamcolor, but at double the price and just having spent much much more on the amazing FSI DM240 reference monitor I decided against getting the HP and go for the Benq and haven't regretted on bit 😀

I have used HP and Dell ultrasharp before and they normally are a good default choice in GUI monitors.

I am definitely looking at BenQ. The PV270. Choking a little on the $900
price tag...but as someone once said "I've never regretted getting a
bigger hard drive, more RAM, or a finer display."

Which model BenQ do you have, Robert?

My shortlist is:

BenQ PV270
Dell U2717D
Samsung S27H850QFN (love these naming conventions)
