KDS K-24MDWB Black 24" 2ms(GtoG) DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor with HDCP support 400 cd/m2 900:1 Built in Speakers

Pros: The price! 3 inputs, Built in speakers, 3 year warranty, fast response time, comes with standard cables. 1920 X 1200 resolution is g o d. Screen is amazingly bright and vivid. Sexy black cabinet, with beautiful front button display. 16 pounds is great VS my old 26" LCD which was about 40 pounds. I could hardly believe it when I pulled it out of the box. If I had any more money I'd buy another for dual display at home and get one for the office. Newegg is amazing as always. Ordered Tuesday morning 9am western time, did rush order, and received the monitor on Wednesday afternoon. Are you serious? From the warehouse to my desk in under 36 hours? When is Newegg going to go public so I can buy up tons of their stock??

Cons: Changing input is slightly more difficult to adjust than most monitors, but I'm more than happy to make that sacrifice for such a great price.

Overall Review: My first impressions: unbeatable at this price point. Other reviewers were harsh on this sub four hundred 24" LCD. But how much do you want for under 4 beans? Initially worried about their 8 dead pixel warranty, but got mine with 0 dead/stuck was super happy. People were complaining about the viewing angle, but with slight adjustment its not a problem. Others said the case its in is weak/poor construction, but I think its more than adequate. What do you want a steel LCD cabinet? Multiple reviewers complaining about lack of DVI cable? Who cares when you get a monitor like this for three hundred less than the dell 24"? Just buy one from a cable warehouse site for 10bucks. Use your 7.1 speaker setup if you don't like the built-in speakers, they're compact, save room, and create a much cleaner office/gaming area. I like them.

Pros: It is big, great picture, no dead pixels on the two monitors that I purchased this go around. I have used it with multiple resolutions and it still looks good at lower resolutions. Great pixel pitch for an LCD. Great colors and makes my 20" CRT look dull by comparison. The stand is made of thick metal, aluminum I believe, not plastic.

Cons: It is VERY bright. I have the brightness turned down and it is still brighter than any CRT or LCD I have had. The Contrast ratio is low... not really a con, but expect that your blacks will not be completely black. It doesn't tilt forward as much as I would like, but I have my Monitor up high so that won't be a con for everyone. It makes my 20" CRT jealous and seem very small.

Overall Review: For the money, you can't go wrong with this. I have bought more KDS monitors in the last 8 years or so than any other monitor for me and my clients. Out of all that I have purchased 2 have died in that amount of time. I think a few people said that it was wobbly... it is, but only if a shake my desk really hard. Don't shake your desk and you should be fine. The egg did me right had both monitors in 2 shipping days.

Pros: The colors are bright and sharp. This monitor is perfect size for gaming. When playing WOW I can put up all the addons and still had room to see everything around me. That is what is great about a 24" monitor. Its plug and play so all I had to do is connect it and Win XP found the drivers and I was G2G.

Cons: The speakers are worthless, why even bother putting speakers on a monitor. Everyone is going to want 5.1 surround sound anyways, or quality headphone and mic. I guess if you were going to use this in an office enviroment and didn't want to dish out the cash for speakers for everyone. Especailly if the coorperate office on you back about expenses and their telling you you have to let someone go. But if that is the case just let you eager assissant Dwight to do it for you.

Overall Review: Dwight is such a brown noser, if he was in my office, Id putt crazy clue on his phone.

Pros: What can I say. U saw the specifications. When u have a high end video card a monitor like this is a must. Clear quality and no dead pixels. Integrated speakers and its beautiful. Comes with cables and HDMI cable.

Cons: The DVI ports dont work. I mean they might work if i could insert the adaptor. But i cant. No big deal im using the VGA. And sometimes when i turn the computer on there is 1/3 of the screen that remains black until windows is loading. It did it like 4 times the first 2 days.

Pros: This monitor was beautiful when using it for a PC monitor. Very bright! Newegg delivered two of these to me very quickly!! I also had to RMA these through NewEgg which was VERY VERY SIMPLE!!! Most of the rating goes to Newegg!

Cons: I made the dumb choice of buying it to use for my XBOX360. It was very washed out in general. I believe it was an 800:1 contrast ratio. So again, this is a great screen for PC use, but not for PC or console gaming. I could not get over how washed out the blacks were.

Pros: VERY solid base; made out of solid aluminum. If you tap on it, it sounds like you are tapping on the side of an armored vehicle. Very bright screen with allot of contrast. I don't really know why everyone else was complaining about that; maybe the people that buy this monitor are really old??? As long as you are under 80 years of age, you should appreciate it. Good number of adjustments; good menu organization. Once again, you guys must be really old to have a problem with the menu. Looks very good. IT IS VERY BIG. The screen is very hard...this prevents you from really pressing on the LCD itself. No ghosting. Has VERY good ventilation unlike most other monitors.

Cons: It generates a fair amount of heat. The dot pitch could be better; you can see the lines (this is with most monitors anyways). Does not turn on/off instantly. You have to wait 2-3 seconds. Does not seem to like cables over 20 feet long. When you do use a cable that long, it will occasionally show a large amount of noise on the black portions of the screen. To fix this, you just have to turn it off and on again. It is a little difficult to plug the wires in. This can be fixed by putting the screen face down, rather than doing it while it is verticle.

Overall Review: I bought this due to the price to performance ratio. I upgraded from a 5 year old 15 inch gateway monitor, so yeah, I can definitely appreciate the difference. This can hold 2 MS Word documents side by side. This is very helpful for students like me who type an outrageous number of essays per month. BUY NOW.

Pros: There are several good aspects of this monitor: Brightness-----VERY BRIGHT! also, as a rule, LCDs get dimmer as time goes on, this monitor will last a long time because even at 50% its still the brightest I've dealt with. Size---It's huge!!! not really a bad thing, but don't sit to close! Dead pixels----Nada, zip, zippo, none, zilch, no dead/stuck pixels whatsoever! Warranty---Is covered by KDS for 3 years (I think its 3) because its considered a pro grade monitor or something. Cables----Comes with a lot of cables! all except for a DVI-DVI cable, kinda puzzling HDCP---means that it will have no problem playing High def content from blue ray discs or HD DVD Stand---the stand is made of metal (aluminum I think) which is very sturdy, only hooks in with one screw, but its a pretty ingenious interlock, doesen't wobble one bit, makes for fast assembly time

Cons: lack of DVI-DVI cable also, when displaying black across the whole monitor it isn't up to the par of some plasma TVs but that doesn't bother me and it should not bother you unless your OCD about stuff like that the back light can get uneven at the edges, especially on darker colors. but I only noticed this because I read about it in a review for this product and was trying to notice it, lighting though is very even thought if you sit for the most part in front of it. you wont notice anything unless you look for it.

Overall Review: makes me hate working on my laptop now, it seems tiny! if you are considering getting this monitor, then press the "add to cart" button right now, you wont be sorry.

Pros: Wonderful LCD monitor. Very bright, had to adjust brightness way down. No dead pixels. All cables included.

Cons: Occasionally when XP hibernates/sleeps and is wakened, it comes up in a weird resolution where part of the XP task bar is off the bottom of the screen. It may be my video card and not the monitor. I switch t a different resolution and then back to the native and it is fine.

Overall Review: Gaming is fine on this monitor.
