Pros: I read every single review on this monitor before buying. On Newegg and other places online. Several things stood out above all other monitors I'd considered: Almost non-existent issues of dead/stuck pixels. Not a single person complaining of poor viewing angles, backlighting, or ghosting. Think for a second why you're considering buying a monitor. To LOOK at it. Not to listen to it, or use it's buttons daily. This monitor exceeds the most important FUNCTIONALITY tests perfectly. I compared against the Acers, HannsG, Samsung, HP, you name it. EVERY single one of the other brands had TONS of complaints about the VIEWING aspects of the monitors. This one had next to nothing. Mine arrived expediently and with zero dead/floating pixels. It's incredible at any angle, with any connection you give it.

Cons: So far, nothing. I bought this knowing what I was getting. It's fantastic and what I expected.

Overall Review: Again, I bought it because the only things people were complaining about were the buttons (which are perfectly fine), the stand (again fine), and the speakers (which should not have any affect whatsoever on a rating of a MONITOR). Hope this helps.
