Hello all, just to report that I'm currently using Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit on a 8760W (model number LG760ET) with the ATI M5950 graphic card and I'm quite happy with no particular issues after 3 days of heavy usage.
I'had only a really strange issue after the first installation. From the Live CD all was working fine and installation went really really smooth, but at the first reboot the screen was shifted like the attached photo! I was able to enable the ATI fglrx proprietary driver and after the reboot all was ok. All is working fine so far, temperatures are quite cool and acpi reports this: $ acpi -t Thermal 0: ok, 0.0 degrees C Thermal 1: ok, 0.0 degrees C Thermal 2: ok, 0.0 degrees C Thermal 3: ok, 0.0 degrees C Thermal 4: ok, 0.0 degrees C Thermal 5: ok, 25.0 degrees C Thermal 6: ok, 36.0 degrees C Thermal 7: ok, 35.0 degrees C Thermal 8: ok, 43.0 degrees C Thermal 9: ok, 46.0 degrees C If you need power and big screen with Full HD resolution I'd suggest this model which is a little cheaper than the NVidia ones. The 8560W with the ATI card is actually the same exact hardware a part the LCD size.
