I love it, but its starting to flicker and its covered under warrenty so no real big deal but I want to get a second anyway.
Anyone else?
Gbue, which Dell the ultra sharp or the regular 30. You have one?

| Ultra-sharp, of course.
I don't have a 30" Dell US, it's on my wish list.
I currently only have a 20" Dell US, it's lasted over 5 years with zero problems. And the 30" US has a zero dead pixel guarantee.

Well, either their build quality dropped or you just have a defective monitor. As said i've had mine for over two years. It's been moved twice, both across town and across states, and is on just about as often as yours.
Anyway, I haven't used any other 30", but, past experience with Dell Ultrasharp monitors in general has been a good. NEC monitors are also quite nice. My boss has a 24" that cost him a pretty penny but looks nicer than 99% of the monitors i've seen. |

My GF has 2 24's, one went out, they sent a new one for replacement, it also has problems. I still stuck to them and bought the 30 inch. Been perfect till now. To add to that my 40 inch home Samsung TV is now acting up and its probably only 2 years old. Maybe ive got a bad run of them or something. I continue to buy them though, but the 305t is harder to find now and has less features than some of the others like the HP has 3 Dual DVI ports, which would be handy for my laptop running it off the main monitor at times.
The Dell looks nice as well.
The NEC seems more than id like to spend its almost 2x the price of the HP. The Dell is in range. I dunno. I have a regular Dell 24 i use as my second monitor and it works perfect but looks like crap lol. Its not a US though.
Hoping more people will chime in with experience with the other brands. HP has good reviews on New Egg.
