Movie enthusiasts will love the widescreen display since most films are presented in a similar aspect ratio. With this Hanns G monitor, there's no need to sacrifice visual real estate for black bars! Video gamers will also love the widescreen layout for increased field of view during intense first person shooters. Finally, the wider view helps increase productivity when you can open documents side by side for comparisons.
Whatever you view will look fantastic, thanks to the 800:1 contrast ratio and over 16 million display colors. When you upgrade to an Hanns G monitor you'll love what you see!
Cons: The shipping cost. There really isn't any con to this monitor and as long as your setup is right and it will be the biggest and best investment for a flat TN panel monitor you can buy.
Other Thoughts: I will show you guys how awesome this monitor is capable of despite those bad reviews (they did not adjust it properly on setup). First, use the HDMI to DVI cord that it came with. Set Brightness level to 79, Contrast to 75 and X - Contrast OFF. Now go to Hanns-G website and download the monitor driver for Windows Vista. Select HG281DPB instead of HG281DJB. Double click on infinstall, wait for a minute and it should give you a confirmation that driver is installed successfully. Now here comes the good part. Click on the Hannspree tab to go to its website (yes they are the maker of Hanns-G monitors), and dowload the "X-Tune" software. Select the only 28in monitor which is HF289HJB. Unzip the file and run the X-Tune and calibrate your monitor to your desire! (Tip: it helps by squinting a little when you are adjusting the Pattern selection and choose 6500K (nature) in Color Temperature selection). Save your settings. The results should rival some of most expensive monitors! ENJOY

Pros: Best square inchage for the money, by far... 1900x1200 resolution great on a big screen... I run higher resolutions on lower monitors and it just makes me realize I'm getting older as I squint. But I'm also a high res nut, so this is the great compromise: 1900x1200 stretched out to 28" is perfect 3 feet in front of you. HDMI hi def / built in speakers nice addition, although switching betweent the modes is cumbersome. Completely agree with the other reviewers... tilt can drastically affect your view. I too mounted arms on two of these monitors actually, side by side! I acheive the perfect tilt.. and it works. Other screens will be more viewable from further angles (this would be a bad tv, for example, from 10 feet away unless you were dead perpendicular to it north south east and west). But it's under $500, free shipping, 28 inches, and if you're only using it for your workstation and can use an arm, you won't regret it. Lots of ifs, but worth doing.. VESA mounts work well.
Cons: Angle of view narrow, weak speakers (but livable, and there IS an audio out jack you can funnel through your computer to supplement if you want more sound... also line in mini rca). Doesn't seem to power down when my computer is off.
Other Thoughts: I've had the best monitors and own an IT company. I regularly get clients much better monitors, but thought I'd try and be thrifty for once in my life and see what its like. Totally great feeling to have something that isn't perfect, but becomes enjoyable because the performance per dollar is VERY high. Love that high end monitors are now accessible to low IT budgets. *** Note, as I don't see it mentioned much in these reviews. There are two versions of this monitor, the 281DPB ($489) and the 281DJB ($579 at time of this review). THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE MORE EXPENSIVE DJB HAS A HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE STAND. This will help those users not using a VESA arm where the aforementioned perfect angle cannot be acheived... the tilt AND height will help. The $489 DPB tilts and swivels, but is not height adjustable. It's the model you'd want to get, saving almost $100 if you were going to mount on any arm, because you'll toss the stand anyway. Hope this helps

Pros: THE PURCHASE: A quick click to Newegg and a credit card charge...and a business day later a box shows up
THE UN-BOXING: Several plastic bags containing cables, and a couple pieces of styrofoam later...the beast is spotted.
THE ASSEMBLY: Setting up the base can be completed in about 1 minute by a mentally handicapped earthworm, or (due to the lack of such a worm) about 10 seconds by someone eager to test their new monitor.
THE SETUP: Choose your video cable: It comes with a VGA Cable, D-sub to YPbPr Cable, AND a HDMI to DVI-D Cable! Pick one. Now plug it in, now find your power cord...one end goes into the outlet, the other to the screen!
THE TEST: This is a true test of your mental capacities. While a "newb" might attempt to depress the LED backlit power indicator in the lower right (cleverly disguised as a button), the ACTUAL power button is really on the right center panel, behind the display.
THE RESULT: No dead pixels, and an amazing view.
Cons: By default brightness is set to 100, you probably will want to adjust this; unless of course you enjoy tanning while browsing the internet.
Other Thoughts: Advertising might be a little misleading, but you cant get a better deal for this price. 28" = 27.5"
Never let them tell you that size doesn't matter. It does matter. It REALLY matters.
I have not tested the sound quality, as I use a headset, although I'd still buy this screen if it played sounds like nails rolling around in a tin can (which it PROBABLY doesn't) .
The display looks wonderful on 1920 x 1200 resolution, and with HDMI support it should last you a long time.
p.s. I got mine on Black Friday for $260 with free S/H (and i bought 2 which both are perfect so far. keeping my fingers crossed)

Pros: Excellent monitor for every day use. Big and clear.
Cons: Not able to mount it vertically. The stand only allow the monitor to mount horizontally which is most people will do anyway, but I have 2 of these and I want to mount them vertically so they don't take so much desk space. There is no way to do that unless to buy an aftermarket multi-monitor stand.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Just got this yesterday and I have to agree it's a steal for the price (I got it on a Black Friday Special). Even at regular price you won't be disappointed. After adjusting settings and installing X-Tune to calibrate as suggested by another reviewer this monitor has a better image than my older 22" widescreen.
Cons: None so far
Other Thoughts: Install the driver Set the brightness to 79, Contrast to 75 Go to Hanns-G website and click on Hannspree tab. Download the "X-Tune" software. Select the only 28in monitor which is HF289HJB. Install X-Tune and calibrate the monitor.
