Great all-around Monitor

Pros: I've been using this monitor for over 2 months now, and it's the best monitor I've ever owned. I've tested it at different resolutions in games and on the desktop: it looks good across the board. The silver and black monitor case looks so much better than my old boring beige monitor. I really like the features and ease of use with the buttons and menu. The autosize feature is very nice for when switching between resolutions from different games or applications. The Ultra bright feature, which at first I thought might be just a gimmick, works as advertised. The button toggles between normal brightness (1x) for text, super brightness (3x) for gaming, and ultra brightness (5x) for video. In fact, it works almost too well. It took me a little while to get used to the higher brightness on games and videos, but I like it. It makes colors and graphics look more vivid.
Cons: none, other than availability for purchase (this model tends to sell out quickly)
Overall Review: For those who are thinking a 19" CRT monitor will take up too much deskspace, this monitor is more compact that other 19" CRT monitors I've seen. This monitor's depth is only a couple millimeters deeper than my old 17" CRT monitor.
