Hanns·G HH-281HPB Black 28" 3ms HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor 400 cd/m2 DC 15000:1(800:1) Built in Speakers

Pros: Size, brightness, contrast, price. Did I mention size?
Oh, and no dead/frozen pixels.

Cons: Dot pitch is pretty coarse. Color calibration is terrible, but what do you want in a $300 27.5" TN panel, seriously?

Other Thoughts: A solid performer. No motion blur. Good for gaming and day-to-day use.

Pros: This has been one of the best monitors I have owned. It's been on my desk for over the three years. Everyone who looks at it is very impressed. Games look and play awesome on this 28.
I would definitely buy another one.

Cons: It doesn't cook dinner for me :(

Pros: Nice size and rez

Cons: The back lights fail often and quickly.

Pros: Good Price!
BIG...VERY BIG!!
Great colors!

Cons: None so far...

Other Thoughts: I have had this monitor for 2 years now and knock on wood I haven't had a single issue to this point. I know others have had issues. I don't know if its luck or what, but my experience has been great. The way I look at it is, for the 300 I paid for it and if it lasts another year I would consider it a win...

Pros: Built a Shuttle Desktop for friends. Their eyesight isn't very good, bought this monitor for them. First time it connected with the Shuttle onboard video, it went to the MAX resolution. WoW. Impressive for me, however, needed to adjust down to 1280 x 1024 for them. I can read it from across the room. They are ecstatic with the size, resolution, performance, and especially visibility. Still working well after a year.

Cons: Speakers a bit tinny, but what do you expect for such small speakers ..... ?

Other Thoughts: I need to get myself one ......

Pros: Got it on 7/27/2009 for $299 and it has never let me down.

Cons: Wish it had more imputs and outputs as well as speakers.

Other Thoughts: If all you need it for is a computer monitor and you already have a speaker setup then this is one hell of a deal.

If you want it to also be your tv as well as run your X-Box/PS3 then you may want to look elsewhere. Expect to pay more though.

Pros: Big for the price?

Cons: You get what you pay for. This monitor crapped out on me before a year. No inputs work etc. It's just an over sized paperweight at this point.

Other Thoughts: Never buying hanns-g again.

Pros: Great size, clarity, and picture quality.

Cons: White screen of death in under six months. Customer service is awful slow. Make you pay to ship it back to them when its their problem. It may be cheaper now, but will cost you more once you have to pay for that and deal with the time without your monitor.

Other Thoughts: I'll never buy Hanns-G again.

Pros: Nice Large Monitor

Cons: I have had this for less than 3 years and I need to send it back for the second time for the same thing. The backlight has gone out. All I have is a Bright white screen and the smell of burning electronics on the back end of it. Even worse I called 4 days to request an RMA and I have not received an e-mail and I have been on hold for over an 1 hour on their tech support "Contact US" home page 888.842.6674 - I have been selling Hanns-G Monitors for over 3 years now and this experience might turn me onto the other brands like AC3R or A$U$.

Other Thoughts: I'd rather pay $30-$100 more and have a monitor that would last me a good 3-5 years without an issue.

Pros: This is the perfect size monitor, in my opinion. It has the maximum size without going to 2560x1600, which usually means connecting both ports on a dual-port video card. It also has more vertical height than the full HD 1920x1080 monitors, which makes it much better for document editing, Internet browsing, and anything other than watching movies. The 1920x1080 resolution monitors are way too short on vertical height for general computer use.

Cons: Image quality is good, but not quite as good as my same-size I-Inc monitor, which is no longer available.

Other Thoughts: I'd like to see Samsung return to making 28 inch monitors with 1920x1200 resolution.
