Hanns-G HL248DPB 23.6" 1920 x 1080 D-Sub, DVI-D Built-in Speakers LCD Monitor

Pros: price. size. very cool screen & casing temperature. decent to good quality picture, better than most at this price and size.

Cons: no hdmi. low quality speakers. stand base is very weak, very rickety, and easy to bend so easy to crack. hard to tilt to perfect degree.

Overall Review: you can easily find a better quality picture but not many at this price. no need for hdmi because the audio from speakers is pretty low quality. and anyway any gpu with hdmi has dvi. comes at a pretty bad color/brightness/contrast ratio setting but easily fixable through controls. can't quite get it bright enough to be "perfect" for some games but using along with gpu desktop color settings makes it look great. if it had been in stock at the time i would've paid the extra $35 and got the "Famous Brand/Generic" labeled 25" refurbished HP for sale here instead. should've waited.

Pros: * Great Price - seems to have regular sales on it as well * Great Picture Quality * 23.6" - Also cheaper than some 19-23 inch monitors by other brands if you catch a promotion * Full HD 1920x1080 * (Very) Thin Profile - Not bulky, looks great on a desk

Cons: * Probably the only downside that I can think of in regards to this monitor are the speakers. Even with max volume the speakers aren't very loud and sound hollow (I wasn't expecting much to begin with, but it's something to consider.)

Overall Review: - If you don't already, you will more than likely want to go with external speakers of some sort. The sound quality is not all that good with small speakers emitting sound towards the rear of the panel. -Great bang for your buck. In all honesty I gave Hanns-G a shot, not having heard much about them in the past, on this monitor because of the great price and am not dissapointed! -As I mentioned, I had not heard of Hanns-G monitors much but now I have new-found respect for their company after my purchase and I hope my review can help someone on the edge of purchasing one of their monitors

Pros: * 1920x1080 resolution provides ample screen real estate * Bright, crisp colors * No dead/stuck pixels * No noticeable ghosting while gaming (TF2, Diablo 3) * Easy-to-feel side-mounted controls -- out of the way, but not out of reach * No eye-burning power LED

Cons: Minor gripes really, but: * No built-in USB hub I got used to having this in my Dell monitor, and it was great for my scanner and wacom tablet -- simple solution is to get a $10 USB hub and stick it behind the monitor * No height adjustment or pivot Again, used to this on the Dell, and it sits low on my desk -- I had to put a book under it to bring it to the right height * Tilt (front-back) is hard to adjust My biggest gripe -- the tilt mechanism is very stiff, but the monitor itself is rather flimsy, so you can't just grab the top of the monitor and tilt it back and forth because it feels like you're going to break it * Only comes with VGA cable and no DVI-VGA adapter Many video cards today only have DVI outputs, and if you don't still have the DVI-VGA adapter the card came with, you're going to get stuck buying a new adapter or cable.

Overall Review: Really, you can't beat this monitor for the price... it replaced my old 20" Dell from ~2005, and I'm loving the additional screen space it provides. D3 and TF2 look beautiful on it, and the high resolution is nice for amateur Photoshop work too. I'm not sure this would be a great monitor if you're into BYOC LAN parties though; it's lightweight, but the shell feels flimsy and I'd be afraid of breaking it in frequent transit.

Pros: - Reasonably high quality - Excellent price-point for sub-large screen display - Nice aesthetics

Cons: - Feels somewhat flimsy in comparison to the earlier 241 model sitting next to it which has a sturdier and more balanced mounting - Requires an A/C adapter (included) and dispenses with the conventional wall-socket/powerbar-to-device approach.

Overall Review: As always, quite happy with NewEgg. Ordered Friday afternoon before a long-weekend, and received on Tuesday (although I had the usual tiff with the delivery service) and had to go out of my way to retrieve it, that's hardly NE's fault.

Pros: Low Cost. Descent Brightness, contrast and color reproduction. Thin form factor. No dead pixels or any other problems yet.

Cons: Doesn't include a DVI Cable, so if you are not planning to use a VGA cable you need to get your own DVI cable. The stand feels cheap and weak, it wobbles a bit. Good to have a sturdy desk so that I wobbles less. One on them is leaning on the side by few millimeters. But I put in a DVD underneath and now is more straight.

Overall Review: I got two of these to setup ATI Eyefinity on my desktop. These monitors are for my peripheral vision, not being my primary monitor. But they are doing good job. Just be aware of the DVI cable and weak stand issue. It doesn't bother me because of the price I paid. 130$ for a 24" LED is pretty cheap, and I don't expect much from it.

Pros: I've had two of these for almost a year now, they look great compared to older monitors I've used. No dead pixels, quick response time, I wish newegg still sold them.

Cons: No longer available, I wanted a third. Also, since I have two, one of the power lights is brighter than the other. Small complaint, but worth noting.

Overall Review: 100% brightness is the default, and it's much too bright. Put it at 30% and it's perfect for me.

Pros: good resolution

Cons: I have dual monitors, when my computer is asleep and I wake it, this monitor never comes on by itself, while my other monitor does. I always have to turn the power off and than back on before it works. It's really annoying.

Pros: It's a good deal when it's on sale. The screen is big and bright.

Cons: maybe because it's my first LED backlight monitor, I feel the backligh is too bright for me. Need time to get use to it.

Overall Review: NO HDMI, need buy a HDMI to DVI cabel for dual monitor setup.
