Most Favorable Review

Nice screen

Pros: This monitor does its job. It is a good size with a clear picture, and reasonably priced.

Cons: No major cons.

Overall Review: Just understand that it is not the latest in high-end technology. There are probably many better monitors out there with a sharper picture, but this screen was a good value for me.

Good when it works

Pros: Runs fairly quiet, the see-through panel and blue light effect are a little tacky, but kinda cool. I purchased it to be able to handle StarCraft II, and it runs just fine on high effects settings. The purchase was a good value.

Cons: Biggest problem: One of the two RAM cards did not work upon delivery. Sometimes the machine would not boot up at all, other times it would boot up with half the memory. After diagnosing the problem iBuyPower replaced the faulty RAM card, but I paid to ship it out. Sometimes my left speaker produces no sound (speakers were not included). I've tried two different sets of speakers with the same issue. The case is a little bulky, but I have plenty of deskspace for it.

Overall Review: If not for the bad RAM card and weird speaker issue, I would rate this 5/5 stars. I was so frustrated trying to diagnose the problem that I would've rated it 1/5 for the trouble. I would recommend this product to others, with the warning to expect the occasional glitch.
