Dell E2013H Black 20" 5ms Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 1000:1

Pros: Good color and more than adequate for a workstation computer. The base assembly was simple and the unit is lightweight.

Cons: After I hooked it up, I pushed the power button and got nothing. Several more attempts with the same results and even tried plugging it in to 2 different outlets. I was almost ready to start the RMA process when I gave it one more try, pushing the button in and jiggling side to side at the same time. Low and behold, it worked. Tried a few more times and every time I had to push the button in and nudge it to the right. I doubt that this is standard operating procedure.

Other Thoughts: I keep the monitor powered on and it goes into standby when the computer is turned off, so fiddling with the power button is no longer an issue.

Pros: Price. Comes with VGA and DVI cables.

Cons: Cheap, stand has no height-adjustment, poor color reproduction. You get what you paid for and since you didn't pay much, you don't get much.

Other Thoughts: Dell told me that this monitor comes only with a VGA cable. I was pleasantly surprised to find both a VGA and a DVI cable included. The stand does not rotate and has no height adjustment, just as expected. And the picture quality is poor with very bad color reproduction - again, just as expected. The shortcoming of this monitor are glaringly apparent when you put it next a much more expensive IPS panel, but then again, I didn't buy this monitor expecting greatness. As an extra monitor on your desk it does the job and it does it for cheap. As a primary monitor this would not be my choice. If price is no object, then this monitor doesn't even deserve one egg. But considering that it cost $99, 4 eggs sounds right.

Pros: good color saturation, even lighting in both dark and light, no dead/stuck pixels, lightweight, no wall wart

Cons: n/a

Other Thoughts: I am using this with a PS3 with a simple HDMI->DVI adapter. It does both 720P and 1080P scaled, and both look pretty much the same. Good colors, no over/underscan, no noise in darks, and very even lighting. The OSD menu is easy to use and responds quickly. There is slightly less ,otion jitter/blur when things move fast, a little better than the HP I have with the same specs... about what you'd expect from a 5ms monitor.
