Is this a good pc monitor?

I need a large monitorfor gaming/ watching movies, and I figured that this was a good deal, considering that the dell 27" monitor is $500 more. Would this monitor suit my gaming/ movie needs well?

If ? Your going to be gaming with a pc, make sure your video card(s) can handle 1920x1200 resolution .
