Hanns·G HH241DPB Black 23.6" 5ms Full HD WideScreen LCD Monitor w/Speakers 300 cd/m2 X-Contrast 15,000:1 / 1000:1 (Typical)

Pros: The screen itself is great. Adjusting the settings and resolution gets rid of any uneven brightness. Manual suggests a 1920x1080 at 60hertz and it looks perfect. we bought two, one on xp one on vista, vista made use of driver, no driver needed for XP. Monitor better suited to the vista of the two, wifes xp wouldnt do the 1920 x1080 as is with her current setup. Working around that. We dont use the speakers.

Cons: Prior comments about frame and stand being a little cheap is valid, some rough edges on seems and plastic stand also a little cheap feeling. However for the price of course this is understandable and we dont have any issue with that. Dropped one egg just because its hard to consider it perfect because of it.

Overall Review: No power pack, plugs right into the back with regular power cable, so one more thing off the floor. Gained six inches, any man would be happy with that!

Pros: PRICE! big very good picture does everything i need

Cons: i honestly can't think of one

Overall Review: I'm sooooo happy I got this, AND on sale (pre-xmas for $150) with free delivery, i could not be happier!

Pros: Very sharp, crisp picture. Got this for $149 & free shipping.

Cons: Control buttons are almost hidden on bottom and behind front lip, very tough to use.

Overall Review: I have this as a 2nd monitor in my setup, the other is a HH-251HPB 24.6" . Picture on the HH241 is better but the control buttons are behind the bottom of the front bezel and are a pain to use. Guess hannsG decided if the bezel extended down it would make the monitor look bigger. Side-by-side the HH241 & HH251 look the same size. Anyway I would definitely recommend this monitor but only when it's on sale. Plenty of other 23.5/.6" monitors you can get for less than $170

Pros: Big, Bright (used to run my CRT at 100%, only running 90% on this and it's brighter), energy efficient, great picture quality, colors are vibrant

Cons: Speakers are horrible, but I was expecting that to begin with.

Overall Review: Wish it was height adjustable since it is a short base but I slouch enough that it doesn't matter and I could always put a text book under it.

Pros: -Very clear image quality, almost no calibration necessary -Huge screen

Cons: -Very low sound on the built-in speakers, a pair of cheap speakers or a headset is a must. -The stand is pretty uninspiring, I've owned it for over a year now with no problems but would love to have something adjustable.

Overall Review: I don't have a ton of experience with monitors, but compared to all the ones I've seen at my college or at a friends house this is the best I've seen.

Pros: Great looking screen. Whatever material it's made out of makes it hard to see dust on it.

Cons: The built-in speakers aren't very good, but I bought it for the monitor, so that's alright.

Pros: Bright, sharp image. Adjustable monitor angle. Easy assembly, minimal to no setup required, plug in and go. All cables included; VGA, DVI, sound & power. 23.6" screen size is large enough to utilize Windows 7 snap, two side by side programs open without resizing to use.

Cons: No major cons, only minor ones as mentioned by other users. Speakers are functional but definitely not theatre quality. Adjustment buttons are a bit awkward, but also functional. Not to mention you pretty much only need to use them once, if that. The stand may at first appear to be under-engineered, but once it is set up is sturdy enough. All it has to do is hold up the monitor, not my truck while I rotate the tires.

Overall Review: I had no previous experience with Hanns-G, so I initially purchased just one to evaluate it. I have now purchased a total of 16 of these for work. All work flawlessly, truly a great value for the price.

Pros: Good size, fits perfectly on my desk. And it looks good with good brightness and the buttons aren't that bad to use. I have used way worse monitors

Cons: None
