dell 1704 ultra sharp

i was on dell's site at the office and saw the dell 17" 1704 ultra sharp for $265 ($65 off the normal price). i've seen some good reviews for the 19" version and on google i saw a couple of good ones for the 17" as well.

but i was wondering what people here thought of it. my uses are going to be:
1) word, excel, quicken
2) surfing the web
3) games: diablo 2, emulation, warcraft, c&c (future psychonauts, dragonshard, dungeon seige 2 & harry potter)
4) occationally watching movies & tv(also all the extra's)


thanks in advance
