For those that Have this,

How well is it set up? Is the Info on the Screen Useful?

I heard there are some errors on it, how bad are the errors?

The Local BX Bookstore just got this in and I am trying to decide if it is worth picking up.

A friend got this for me, when I said I needed a new DM screen. This sucker is like cement. You hold it above the table and drop it and it sounds like a book hitting. You can kill a rabbit with it, or give a munchkin a concussion. It's heavy, strong, and has the dwarven Stability racial trait.

As for what's on it, the art facing the players is great. The charts I wouldn't know about. I taped them over with my patented Pathfinder/3.5 charts so fast I never even saw what was on them.

There's eratta for it on the WotC site I hear, but I don't know what for. As for construction, I give it an A+.

The tables are quite useful. The best parts are the conditions summarized on the left hand screen and the placement of monster/general damages on the right. Common DCs are well done. The errata is a simple pdf that you print out (actual size, don't let Reader expand it) and tape it over a table--it's the revision to the average skill DCs that was made a while ago, in response to fan's comments.
