Pros: The monitor is outstanding but Newegg is even better. The first monitor had a defect. Everything about it was fantastic EXCEPT it would not detect a loss of signal properly. So when it was supposed to shut down (power save or just unplug the HDMI cable) it would instead go to a bright solid blue screen and stay on. So Newegg agreed to ship the replacement overnight as soon as UPS had the shipping info for the returned unit in the system (also paid by Newegg). As close to a cross ship as you can get with a non-refundable product! I was absent a monitor for only two days thanks to their excellent customer service. And the new one works like it should. Awesome PQ, no pixel problems, AND it goes blank on loss of signal.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Watching HD-DVD on this screen is scary. Very realistic. By far the best monitor I have ever had (and I have had a lot).

Pros: Simply the best monitor out there! Awesome 1920x1200 widescreen resolution, vivid colors. I have connected a ps2 through the composite and a xbox 360 with the hdmi, amazing quality! no more "short" 1080p old firmware problems. This is the latest model. Kicks every competitors @%%. No dead pixels either, been more than 2 months now.

Cons: None, unless you wanna jump on it everyday and move it from continent to continent. Nothing is wrong!

Overall Review: Get a nice speaker system and you'll be set!

Pros: This is a followup to my 9/1/2007 review, pros are there. Please read thoughts below if you're concerned about overscan in 1080p with the 360.

Cons: Occasionally it will blackout for a full second about once a week for no reason. Will have to send this to BenQ for service to upgrade to new firmware, when it's available. Also, the VW model is being discontinued.

Overall Review: I've since researched the overscan issue on the xbox360, and i have it (using HDMI in my case). Regardless of 1:1 or aspect mode, the image has about 1/4 inch cut off on the left and bottom, noticable with text in those areas. It is not pixel-perfect. This affects units from the March 2007 batch and earlier (rev2 i believe). The May/July MFG batch has updated firmare which adds an option to enable or disable overscan, so check your box stickers as soon as you get it. Fortunately this is not an issue in most games, so I still recommend this monitor especially if you are lucky to get a unit MFG after May. Search this model in the hardforum or google FP241V/VW and overscan.

Pros: In my earlier review I mentioned that I was using the PIP functionality with HDMI for TV and DVI for the PC. Just wanted to clarify that when using PIP, one signal has to be analog and the other digital. In other words, my PC is DVI, so the PIP video source had to be analog...so I used S-Video. You could accept a digital signal (such as HDMI) for the PIP as long as your PC used an analog input. It's been a long day...

Cons: None

Pros: Styling, size, inputs, styling, and sharpness are all on the right side of excessive (a very good thing). Brought it to a LAN party, was right up there with some of the other rigs. Definitely an attention-getter.

Cons: The black screen bug was offputting at first, and to me only happens when I turn the monitor back on. It'll turn on, stay for a couple seconds, go black for a couple seconds, then come back and stay.

Overall Review: I haven't yet had the time to play with PerfectMotion. Playing Halo: Combat Evolved for PC, I got some ghosting that I expect could be fixed by Perfect Motion. Composite video from my Xbox is 3:2 ratio, when it should be either 4:3 or 16:9 in both normal input mode and PIP, so that is distracting as well. NewEgg pictures are mislabelled; there is no webcam on the monitor (it's a headphone hook) and the bottom button is PerfectMotion, not exit.

Pros: Plenty of inputs, great size, great looking picture, no motion blur.

Cons: Aparently the screen goes black every once in a while, for 1-2 seconds. I just learned this is the "Black Screen Bug"?

Overall Review: Other then that problem, the screen is amazing. Could use built in speakers so when you plug in HDMI you can get sound :)

Pros: + Full HD and then some. + Hooking up everything from composite to HDMI. + True 8 bits per subpixel colour output. + Flexible scaling options. + Built-in USB hub. + There's no way to deny it, this thing's a showpiece. + Independently adjustable display settings for each signal. This is why it gets a 5 despite all the cons, people.

Cons: - No real portrait mode (thanks to it being a showpiece). Yeah, you COULD do it, if you had a VESA mount or something to brace it against, but it would look utterly bizarre. - USB hub shuts off when the monitor does. This is really just not a good design. - The PerfectMotion thing is nice, but guess what scourge it brings back... That's right. FLICKER. And that just might be what finally drove you from CRT to LCD in the first place. Also, after getting adjusted to the brightness of this screen, to have to bring it back up because only half as much light is hitting your eyes is rather a drag.

Overall Review: 1) When I got this monitor, I needed to be sure that it could display aspect-preserved material out of the box, without having to resort to service or replacement. Had the old-firmware stock of the FP241W finally been exhausted, I would have almost certainly gotten one of those instead. 2) On the other hand, this monitor seems more solid than a single-support monitor, which - being in earthquake country - might still lead me to favour this model. 3) Yes, people, it is a wide monitor. It is a VERY wide monitor. But we live in the FUTURE. The part where it says 28" is in the Specifications tab, try clicking it next time. Or you could check with the manufacturer. Grab a tape-measure BEFORE you order.

Pros: I love the modern look...first monitor I've owned that looks like it belongs in the 21st century. The colors on this thing are beautiful. No dead pixels! HDCP capable. Lots of inputs. I use DVI from the PC and HDMI from the television. Using PIP, I can watch TV in a positionable and resizable window while I work. This thing even has a place where you can hang your headphones. Definitely exceeds my expectations.

Cons: Not a one.

Overall Review: I just finished playing the expansion pack for F.E.A.R. running on the highest settings (new graphics card) and it looked awesome. The "Action" game mode actually does help with the games...at least with the ones I've been playing. If you're thinking about a budget 24" and you enjoy gaming and watching movies on your PC, do yourself a favor and spend a bit more money to get this monitor...you'll be much happier.
