Pros: Like most other reviews, I have to agree that there is alot of value for the dollar. Wide format, bright-vivid coloring, and high resolution. I did have two bad pixels towards the top center of the screen, but I was able to "massage" one of them away and lessen the brightness of the other with just a little rubbing over the spot. Having all the connectors and a wide, stable base is a nice feature as well. I plugged the speakers up as my center speakers on my sound card and they make a nice addition as well. I wouldn't have relied on them to be my primary speakers, but who buys an LCD for the speakers anyway? The reviews I read helped me make my decision about this monitor, and I wasn't disappointed. A quick update of my video card driver and the native resolution showed a sharp, clear image.

Cons: The two bad pixels were a bit of a bummer. But as I said in the "Pros", they are in an out of the way place and I was able to make one disappear and make the other of the two less significant. The only thing to be sure about with a monitor like this is the wide format compared to older CRT's...the way I look at it thought is now I can take advantage of side widgets where I didn't before with my old standby. So that is more of a "pro" than a "con", just understand there is a big difference in styling from square to wide formats.

Overall Review: While I was shopping monitors at Newegg and a few other places, Newegg ended up offering free shipping which helped me make the choice easier. Have done lots of business with Newegg over the years as a system-builder and always been pleased with quality, selection, service, price, and availability...you will be too.

Pros: just a followup from ed below, the screen ships in a configuration that negatively affects image quality - use the screen controls to set brightness to ~85% and contrast to ~40%. the severity of rtc artifacts (tinges around black text on gray backgrounds caused by response time acceleration) is reduced to almost nothing, and color reproduction is far and away superior.

Cons: manufacturers, don't ship lcd monitors with all controls set to their max! set them to highest accuracy! i didn't need a screen that could light up my backyard, i needed one that was accurate and pleasing to the eye. after lowering the brightness and contrast, this panel is easily one of the best i've ever seen.

Pros: I purchased this monitor based on all the positive reviews here and have not been disappointed. Very nice sharp picture with vivid colors. The monitor is handsome looking with a very stable base. Both DVI and VGA cables are included. Well worth the price. I would definitely recommend it to others.

Cons: Supplied cables are only about 4-1/2 feet long, just a little to short for me but should be fine if your computer's case is in close proximity to the monitor. Documentation (CD only, no manual) is less than stellar. As others have noted, the speakers sound pretty tinny but, hey, you're not buying this for the sound.

Overall Review: The included CD only includes a driver for Vista but Windows XP immediately recognized and configured it as "Plug and Play monitor." (There is an "INF" file posed on the company's website).

Pros: This is a very good screen for gaming and office-type work. Note that you need to use the DVI connection if you want to get the best performance out of it, the native resolution is so high. Be sure to turn on ClearType in the Windows XP Display control panel, it makes fonts more readable on this type of screen. Also, visit Microsoft's "ClearType Tuner" web page to tweak your ClearType settings, you'll get crisp font viewing if you do.

Cons: This is a very bad screen for color-critical work. I don't blame the screen, it isn't advertised as such, I just thought a modern TN-technology panel might have improvements over older tech and wanted to try it out. TN panel technology is cheaper and faster at refresh, but subtle color is off. If you notice a graduated darkening from top to bottom, that is the color shifting as the view angle from your eyes shifts. Look at it from the extreme top or bottom and you'll see how dark it can get. You can create color profiles to get it close to color correct, but you end up adjusting the R,G and B gamma so much that you compress the digital color range. I may have reduced blue to the equivalent of 3 bits to get it correct. The result of this compression is dithering/banding across graduations. I was unable to ever get blacks and dark grays color corrected.

Overall Review: This is a very nice monitor for gaming. TN panels are very fast, but they just aren't good at color reproduction. SIPS panels at the high end are very good at color and are getting better on speed. If you are a gamer, and if the slight-but-visible color shifting across the surface doesn't bother you, this is a good screen for the price.

Pros: This is a fantastic monitor, especially for the price. It greatly exceeded my expectations. Everything worked and picture is fantastic.

Cons: None.

Pros: The failure rate must be pretty low with so many positive reviews... and it looked great for an hour or so

Cons: ...but then out of nowhere the monitor became extremely bright, and the response time of the pixels increased to about 5 seconds. it looks really cool, like an acid trip or something, but its impossible to use productively.

Overall Review: reseting factory defaults didnt fix it, so im assuming is some really funky failure. newegg is processing the rma, so im sure the return and replace with be quick and easy, but failed hardware is still inconvenient.

Pros: Affordable high quality.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I have had two now since 2007 and still going strong. Hanns-G made me a believer right out of the box

Pros: Excellent monitor that has lasted almost 6 years without a problem. Better picture than other newer monitors that claim to be HD.

Cons: Internal speakers are kinda cheap and tinny, but I didn't order it for its sound system.
