Pros: I have a great dual monitor setup of these at work. Not my purchase decision but I'm happy with what I have. Height is adjustable and it stays where you put it. Orientation is adjustable. The base doesn't actually take up desk space because it's curved. The flat space is about 8"x8". The back half of that has a roughly 2" clearance (note I have monitors at full height). YouTube looks fine but I can't comment on hd video playback because I use them at work. I am no expert on color but my blacks look black and my whites look white.

Cons: No speakers. Not a flaw but something good to know if you're upgrading from one that does have them. No left/right swivel but they slide easily I stare at these for 40+ hours a day, 5 days a week. I think I would've noticed any relevant flaws.

Overall Review: My PC uses a DVI to VGA splitter, but the monitors have several inputs and USB ports. USB ports are on the left back if you're looking at the monitor front. If you dual screen, you won't be able to access the USB ports of your right screen so you might want to have whatever you plug in there be more permanent.
