Hanns·G HH-251HPB Black 24.6" 2ms HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 15000:1(800:1) Built-in Speakers

Pros: + great size and resolution
+ no dead pixels (on both the monitors I got)
+ 2 hdmi
+ speed
+ comes packaged in a good and easy to re-use box

Cons: - design isn't the prettiest in the world, but at least there are not 1mm stickers on it
- height not adjustable (but this is common with 24"+ monitors)
- no usb ports on the back of the monitor

Overall Review: Very happy with my monitors (had to return one of them for making a whistle noise while in standby, but since newegg handled it nicely, I don't want to remove a star for that).

For all ATI graphics card owners -- "BLACK FRAME" issue is NOT related to the monitor, but it's the drivers for the ATI cards that are at fault.

Solution/fix for the BLACK FRAME issue:
1. download the latest Catalyst drivers
2. open the Catalyst Control Center (right click on desktop)
3. find the "scaling options" tab -- mine is the 3rd on the top row
4. get rid of the "10% underscan" and set it to 0% -- no idea why this underscan happens, but it does to some people.
5. Black frame issue resolved

Pros: cheap

Cons: Update to my first review: After my first monitor became unusable due to half the screen constantly flickering, I shipped it back and got a replacement. I was very happy with Hanns-G's customer support. Unfortunately, the product still stinks. My second monitor has the same problems resuming from standby as the first, and now, after about 3 months of use, the screen has become pale and blurry. DO NOT BUY THIS MONITOR. You will NOT save money. If you pay $15 to ship it back -- which you will, at least once -- you're already spending enough that you should get a reputable brand in the first place.

Though this monitor has a high overall rating (it is, after all, big and cheap,) the 1 star reviews tell the story -- this model does not resume from standby even when it's "working," and quickly breaks on top of that.

Overall Review: None
