Pros: Huge. Bright, crisp and clear at 1920x1200. So crisp, in fact, that my DVDs look pretty aweful on it (oh well, on to Blu-Ray). Excellent color reproduction. I use my system for gaming primarily (where the 2ms response and high contrast really shine) and also for graphic/web design work, and it's excellent for both. I've fired up HalfLife2, Doom3, FarCry and UT03 on full settings, with absolutely no ghosting. I'm very impressed, though I may have to upgrade my 7900GS gpu before taking on Crysis, CoD4 or Bioshock (see other thoughts). ZERO dead or stuck pixels, it's in pristine order. No extra fluff like weak speakers or ports I'll never use, which help keep the price down. HD support is what sold me in the end, since I consider this a long-term purchase.

Cons: As of this posting, no professional reviews exist for this monitor. Since this is a 24" and a TFT panel, the viewing angles aren't great, but I was prepared for this going in. In most applications and games the color shift isn't noticeable, but definitely is on a black screen. Not a tragedy, since I always look the monitor dead on anyway. I'm disappointed that the blacks aren't quite as dark as I'd like, but then I've been using a 19" Trinitron CRT since 2000, so that's expected. That said, in the three days since it arrived I've had time to get used to it and I don't much notice it now. Because of the angle and blackness issues, this monitor is less than ideal for design work, but ideal costs $700+ and this is more than adequate. Lastly, as others have said, it's extremely bright on default settings - I had to do a lot of tweaking before I didn't feel like an image was being burnt into my eyeballs (I'm picky). But once calibrated properly, it looks amazing.

Overall Review: I've always thought LCD monitors were inferior to CRTs in nearly every respect, and did a ton of research before buying. The rave reviews from other NewEggers definitely proved useful and accurate. I also did a lot of price comparisons as well. You simply can't find a 24" monitor with this high response time, contrast ratio and color spectrum for under $500 right now. I would have preferred an S-IPS panel, but I can't justify $700+ for a monitor, and in this case, the pros (2ms, 3000:1, 1920x1200, 24") highly outweigh the cons (sub-par viewing angle, weaker blacks) for my uses. Last, I will say that I feel like I may need to upgrade my GPU to an 8800GT, since I'm now experiencing a lower framerate than I'm used to - but since I'm now viewing at double the resolution as before I'm surprised it looks as smooth as it does. Overall, this is a GREAT monitor with tons of wow factor. Highly recommended, just go into it with your eyes open.

Pros: Quiet. I've read complaints that this card is noisier than other brands, but even cranked up I barely notice it. Very powerful. The overclocking software that it comes with is excellent and is very easy to use. Quite an upgrade from my recently-deceased 8800GTX. I was pleased to notice that it's about 20% smaller than the 8800GTX, as well.

Cons: None so far. I haven't had any heat issues, nor do I expect to.

Overall Review: This is the most expensive card I've ever purchased, but comparatively speaking, it's one of the best deals out there. While a bit more expensive than other brands this card comes with a rebate, so when all is said and done it will have been cheaper than it's competitors. Add in EVGA's lifetime warranty and it's a great deal.
