I tried the G400 for a couple of days and just didn't like it. 2D
display was nice but also seemed to have some problems. OpenGL
performance was plain bad, especially with Half Life. I returned it
and came away from the store with a V3 3000. 2D display is just as
good, if not better. And of course, it's 3D performance is great.
