Well, I'm not going to make the decision for you, but from what I've seen that monitor looks quite decent. For comparision, I'll use my own monitor, the 152T (See
here). I love the 152T, in the two or three years I've had it, never had a problem with it. The colors are vibrant, and even with a "horrible" 25ms response time, I have
never noticed any ghosting at all. The monitor you're thinking of buying is better than mine in almost every way, regarding specs. It's bigger, has a higher contrast ratio and lower response time. It's not quite as bright, but I seriously doubt this will be an issue. Most of the people who have reviewed it on
Amazon seem to think it's a good monitor as well.
The only thing I'd be a little wary about is the company who makes them. I have never heard of this brand name, so, just in case, make sure you know the seller's refund policy. If, you know, it comes with a different number of pieces than it should or something.

About future-proofing, I think you're pretty safe there. I am not yet aware of any other ways to connect your monitor to the PC other than a DVI or D-sub cable, and this monitor supports both.
