N/A 9/7/2010 1:18:58 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 1/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5WOW! Pros: The colors are BEAUTIFUL and not washed out or over saturated... I couldn't be happier. Cons: ... well... I have no idea. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 9/7/2010 9:25:27 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Stop looking, you found exactly what you're looking for. Pros: Lots of option, VGA, DVI, and HDMI ports :D Build in speakers work great. I have my Xbox360 hooked up on this baby and the picture/sound is phenomenal. The weight is perfect, not too heavy but heavy enough to stop it from sliding all over your desk. Thoroughly impressed. :) Cons: The buttons on the front panel are a little awkward to use at first, but once you're set up it's not like you're going to be using them very often. Other Thoughts: If I had a bigger desk I'd buy another and dual-display them. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Nate 9/6/2010 10:41:42 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Best monitor i've seen for the price Pros: 1080p, huge monitor, cheap price, speakers work well with my PS3, computer DVI connection has amazing quality, different modes for whatever reason you want to change them Cons: N/A Other Thoughts: great quality Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Justin 9/5/2010 2:16:11 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great Monitor For The Price Pros: I grabbed this monitor when it was on sale for 189.99 and it has been an excellent screen for the price. Colors are vibrant and the contrast is very good. Has inputs for my two computers and xBox 360. Cons: Try as I might, I can't get the colors to match up with my Apple CInema display. Not a big deal though, it's close enough. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
mike 9/4/2010 8:46:23 PM Tech Level: 2/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Sweet!!! Pros: User friendly and the picture looks great! Cons: Wish I would have bought two. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
nvidialocker 9/4/2010 5:18:29 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5All I can say is WOW! Pros: This is a awesome monitor! Its big! Cheap! Cons: A bit light bleed on the top and bottom of the screen. But its hardly a con... Other Thoughts: I would recommend to my friends to get this monitor its awesome. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Kris 9/4/2010 1:57:03 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Pretty Awesome Pros: Excellent value for the price - large, crisp, bright, and colorful. Fantastic viewing angles for this type of panel. Different preset modes give options out of the box. Cons: A little "cheap" feeling. No adjustable height. 1 stuck pixel. Other Thoughts: Who uses inbuilt speakers anyway? Buttons are a little odd, but they work well enough. I would recommend this monitor and buy it again. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 9/4/2010 12:36:33 AM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Amazing Screens! Pros: This monitor really is great! I bought two and they were both perfect out of the box! Plus the price is awesome too! Cons: None Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Smokeyy 9/3/2010 12:42:52 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Buy this now! Pros: Great monitor! Got it when it was at $190.00 in price. What a great deal. So many good things to say about this monitor I can't name them. Cons: It won't beat the best monitor out there, but it will be a lot cheaper. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
T.J. 9/2/2010 12:10:04 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Large and in charge Pros: Puts my old 17 inch monitor to shame. Cons: Still haven't found settings for it that I'm perfectly happy with. Other Thoughts: I'm not really a good person to review this.. after having a 17 inch monitor for 5 years, I would probably still love this thing if it had a huge gash in it. However I've had 0 technical problems with it so far. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
