Strengths: Great Picture, DVI-D & DSUB, Great Price Weaknesses: D-SUB connection access, Summary: I received this monitor 5 days ago and arrived in perfect condition with no dead pixels. The display is bright and displays rich and vibrant colors. This is my first LCD. I upgraded from a 17" CRT and when you turn it on for the first time it is a total difference. My only problem was the D-Sub connection was right next to the base so connecting could be a hassle. The speakers I could not comment on since I am using separate speakers. Other than that I have no complaints and I would highly recommend this model to anyone looking to upgrade. For the price it is a steal!! A+ 100% of People (1/1) found this review helpful.

At 11.2lb it feels and is lighter than most comparable panels, which often weigh 13lb and up. Elegant design. Easy controls. Excellent auto adjust. Weaknesses: Speakers are a joke and not necessary anyway. Vertical tilt is a bit litmited. Summary: With the strengths above, this is worth buying. Also, the price is real good, barely over $200. Energy saving. Horizontal tilt not available, but not necessary, since it's light and you can tilt the whole thing however you want. Wonder, though, that LCD brightness will deteriorate over time, like that of my laptop. But thanks to dropping prices, ordinary folks like me now can afford this flat panel. 100% of People (1/1) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

SLICKSTA from NY Member Since: Apr 2004 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Months	Not bad for the price... Strengths: Resolution/Price Weaknesses: DVI connector/compatibility and 1 hot pixel Summary: 2005-07-10 07:47:08 This monitor is OK for the price. Picture quality is very good. BUT..... The DVI connector is so close to the edge of the recessed opening you have to fight it in or shave some of the plastic of the connector. Also I could not get the DVI to work with my ATI AIW8500. The picture is still nice using the VGA adapter. And it did work on another PC that had an ATI 800XL vid card. I have one HOT pixel (Stays light blue always)But set at 1280 x 1024...its hardly noticeable...just at boot with a black screen. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

Has DVI and analog inputs. Weaknesses: built in speakers, although they do work, it is hard to adjust them (it is buried in and on screen menu). Summary: I have bought 7 of these, and every single one has been perfect (no dead or stuck pixels). The warranty on this monitor is also pretty generous- 3 years!.

Strengths: Monitor has great slimline design; bright screen; speakers incorporated. Weaknesses: Sound from speakers is a little "tinny;" one "hot" pixel on screen. Summary: For the price, this monitor is great, with only one bad pixel. It cleared lots of space on my desk and allowed me to get rid of separate speakers as well. It has worked great so far and I'm very pleased with its performance. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate. There are no comments for this review. Post a comment.
