Question 1

is this windows 7 compatible?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is W7 compatible. The monitor has ONLY VGA, and HDMI connector, No DVI.

If you want HD display, your video card must support HDMI, or VGA for standard definition resolutions.

Question 2

How is the red gradient on the bezel of the monitor? I imagine that's why it's a lower price. That might not be so popular.

Accepted Answer

Can hardly see the red gradation.  Had completely forgotten about it until this email!  Monitor is great.  I've had it for a few months, use it every day at work, and I've got no complaints at all.

Question 3

Is this glossy panel ? as in not matte finish screen ? i am looking for a glossy panel.. ideas's ?

Accepted Answer

This is matte.  Honestly, I think matte is the way to go for most applications.  Less glare and the colours are just as vivid.  The screen on my MacBook is glossy and I hook it up to the Samsung cause it's matte cause things are easier to read.  :)

Question 4

Is the display screen on this monitor matte or glossy?

Accepted Answer

The screen is matte....Glossy might look better when the is little to no ambient light...but matte is the way to go for overall great look...best monitor ive owned so far....

Question 5

I'm curious, can this be used as a tv as well for gaming on a console? I know PC is better for gaming and all that, but sometimes I like to play exclusives for consoles.

To put it simply, can this be used like a tv for gaming through HDMI?

Thanks to anyone who can answer this! :)

Accepted Answer

No, it does not have sound.  It only supports video.

Question 6

is it VESA mount compatible and if not (as I seem to find from searching another well known online store) why is newegg offering a combo with mount?

Accepted Answer

Correct. It is not VESA mount compatible.

NewEgg's combo system *may* not be smart enough at this time and is just pairing monitors with mounts at random.

Question 7

is it Mac osX compatible?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is...I would be leary before buying b/c of the stand not being able to support the weight of the display.  I have tried to get replaced through Newegg and Samsung with no luck.  I have 2 and they both have the same issue.
