Pros: Look at the price... Don't let it fool you though, this is not a cheap item! It reads and writes very fast (as described) and I have no coasters*.

Cons: I got 2 of these and one of them was bad out of the package, performed a simple RMA and got it replaced. Minor con i'd say.

Overall Review: * For the statement above about no coasters, I got coasters from the RMA'd product but none what so ever on the others. Even running at the Maximum 20x speed for DVDs.

Pros: Big, 1080p HD display. vibrant and bright. can be adjusted for less bright if needed. no problems setting up. This monitor also makes a good screen for A PS3 as well as PC. oh and Blu-ray looks nice on here. Even though Blu-ray looks best on bigger displays. This is a great product for the price, I was a bit nervous when I bought it (Added extended warranty for peace of mind.) but I have not run into a single hiccup or flicker.

Cons: Sometimes it takes a bit to get it to recognize the PS3 but I have come to the conclusion that its a problem with the HDMI port on the PS3 and NOT this monitor. Some online videos take a while to show up. I believe it has more to do with the web based software/ graphical hardware than the monitor.

Overall Review: You can't go wrong with this product. (except DoA ofcourse) please consider this for your PC or Console* needs. *Only Consoles with an HDMI port or adapter to HDMI are compatible with this monitor.
