Pros: Price Supports 1680 x 1050 which seems to be harder to find lately. We use these in a work enviroment so nee speakers needed, which is nice. The monitors were bright with good color reproduction across the spanned monitors.

Cons: We had one that had a bright spot when first plugged in. It has faded since, but is still slightly there. The bright spot is barely noticeable at this point, but I will keep my eye on it.

Overall Review: I purchased 4 of these to use in our mapping department, the color reproduction has been almost flawless with the only exception being above. I would love to see a better stand come with this monitor, we had to put books under the monitors until we could get new stands for them. Overall not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

When they work they work, but...

Pros: They are quick when they work

Cons: We ordered 8 of these to begin with, and within a year we have had to RMA 5 of them. They are set in a raid configuration, and would either start throwing SMART errors and dropping from the raid, or they would just drop all together. We have had much better experiences with the WD2002FAEX drives. At first I thought it might have been a backplane or raid card issue, but testing the drives in other computers the drives just wouldn't hold up.

Overall Review: Western Digital has always had great support, but they have recently changed their RMA portal and it is horrible. I know that hard drives can fail but 5/8th of then within a year?
