Yes it is, I've got one and am VERY happy with it. Paid $499 for it a month ago.

The only complaint I have is that the sRGB mode (which lets you use a normal colour palette for Windows and games and such, rather than having the blown out over saturated look high gamut panels usually have) visibly dithers in the deep grays and almost blacks.. a bit annoying but they're apparently working on a firmware fix.

So if you are really picky this might be an issue (there's a thread on HardOCP's forums about the monitor with the info in there), I'll wait for the update and either get the update applied or ask for a replacement monitor to fix that issue.

Otherwise the monitor is great! Some people report a colour issue from left to right (i.e. one side of the monitor is more green, the other more pink), but I didn't get one like that. If you do exchange it.
