Hanns·G HZ251HPB Black 25" 2ms X-Celerate OD 1080P Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 X-Contrast 15,000:1 DCR (800:1 typical) Built-in Speakers

Pros: This monitor is completely crisp, and looks absolutely great.

I can't believe I considered purchasing a different brand for a higher price. This has built in speakers, and the quality is absolutely great.

Places I couldn't even see in L4D2 and Modern Warfare 2 are now Crystal clear! There are no dead pixels, and the aspect ratio fits the screen perfectly (unexpected)

This has a really bright backlight, making it very easy to see images and games. I've never been more happy with a monitor.

This has a nice glossy finish on the plastic, and a kind of rough finish on the monitor so there is no glare coming off of it.

Cons: It doesn't like the taste of milk?

Overall Review: Make sure you hook this up with DVI, HDMI on a PC connection doesn't look even close to as good.

Go to the settings on the monitor and turn the color scheme to "User" and it's best for PC usage. :)

Pros: Big and kinda cheap (actually I found better deals after I bought this one, but 170 wasn't bad)

Cons: Poor quality. Now I have my old old monitor alongside with this new monitor, and I am surprised to find the images on the new one is not better than the old one. When I turn on the Bright XContrast, the screen will be flashing, so I just stopped using it. At first it wouldn't scale to full screen and I found from the comments that you need to set overdrive to 15% for ATI graphics card. I wonder why they don't even mention it on the user manual and that costs me quite some time to set up. The buttons are HORRIBLE! I've never seen a worse design. They are hidden under the frame and you won't know which one is which.

Overall Review: Stay away from the brand. I don 't know why it had such good reviews when I bought it. Now that many people bought it over the Black Friday sale, and the new comments are all 1 star.
