Superb monitor at a moderate price
Strengths: very bright, high contrast, high resolution, all sorts of connectors
Weaknesses: died within a week
Summary: 2005-08-31 09:45:48 Got this monitor and love it. It features 1600x1200 resolution, giving enough space for my large spreadsheets and picture editing. The color is very bright and vivid. The response time is 16ms according to manufacturer's product description. I don't notice lagging when watching HDTV (from a tuner card in the computer) on it.
There are also connectors for S-Video and RCA video on the back though I have not tried them yet. This monitor also features picture in picture, according to the manual.
I found one stuck pixel on mine.
After a couple of days using, mine has been proved defective. It makes short blackouts (1 ~ 2 seconds) frequently, sometimes every 5 seconds. No connectors are loose, its power cord is plugged into a UPS. I tried it on two computers (one PC and one Mac), and tried both DVI and analog VGA inputs, the same results. It seems a problem of the backlight lamp.
After last update, a couple of days passed. The blackouts became longer and longer. Now the monitor is dead.
