Pros: This monitor is almost perfect, I assembled my new rig 3 months ago, i5-4670k and SLI gtx 780, and I had bought Samsung S23A560H Plus for my monitor. Unfortunately having lived with CRT monitors for over a decade, I was not able to live with that TN panel for more than a week. So after doing some research I decided to buy VX239H, and because the VX model didn't have the Tracefree technology, I ended up with MX239h.... "WOW!!!" I said right after I turned on the monitor... no dead pixel, no back light bleed, amazing colors, ok speakers, everything was excellent. Unfortunately two things started annoying me one was the left bottom corner ips glow, and the other thing was that I wished blacks were a touch or two darker...I SOLVED the IPS glow problem, by adjusting my seat, and putting the monitor a a hand further from where I was sitting and wow it is no longer there....only if the blacks were darker!!! although this is common for all IPS panels and yet its blacks are far better than some of the Ips panels I have seen out there 1: Amazing colors 2: No Ghosting (Just finished playing BF3, Call of Duty Ghosts, Max payne3 and PES 2013) make sure to adjust tracefree based on your own monitor not reviews, my monitor trace free works best at 20. I bought the same model for my sister and hers is ok at 40, just download some of those ghosting tests online, and adjust the tracefree accordingly 3: Excellent looks 4: loud/ok speakers 5: Ultra sharp, battlefield3 on ultra settings on this monitor made my other monitors/ and plasma TV feel only they are at medium settings in the same game at the same settings ( to get better sharpness go to Nvidia panel, and change the color output to ycbcr444 and just say WOW!!!)

Cons: 1. IPS glow on left bottom corner (easily can be fixed by adjusting your seat, just lower your seat until the glow evaporates) 2: Only if the blacks were a touch darker, but still blacks are better than 80 percent of monitors I have seen out there 3. Doesn't wash my clothes

Overall Review: Overall: EXCELLENT MONITOR
