Love it

excellent picture.
8000:1 contrast ratio really makes a big difference.
ability to adjust the swivel, pivot and tilt is very nice and handy specially if you have someone next to you to show your work or discuss something

none

I'm a programmera and I originally bought the monitor to have it as a vertical one next to my other widescreen to improve my coding experience but it didn't work out very well. The 1050 pixels height is too narrow to be comfortable. That's not a defect in the monitor though. If you want to have a vertical monitor to write code don't go for less than 1200 pixels.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Great... BUT

Excellent picture. Everything looks amazing. Best monitor I've owned or used regarding picture. Bright and Vivid.

The adjustment buttons are touch sensitive and thus are hard to find at night (especially next to the incredibly bright screen). After about 6 months the image began to shake on startup and for the 5 minutes afterwards. This problem got worse and now I have to wait 30 minutes after turning the computer on before using the monitor. Distortion and lines shoot across the image but after the monitor has "warmed up" it all goes away and is as good as new.

Getting another monitor, this time an ASUS 24inch.
