Pros: This monitor is one of the best monitors I've ever seen. If you put on a white screen all areas of the screen are equal. Color is brilliant and true. I would purchase it again. I have a SLI system with two 8600 GTS cards. It is a perfect match for this monitor. Also Westinghouse assured me that this is an HDCP monitor so I will be able to play BluRay discs once I upgrade my DVD player.

Cons: Dead pixels aren't the worst thing that can happen. Bright pixels are. The monitor I recieved had one bright pixel at the bottom left of the screen. Unfortunately I had already mailed the rebate before I noticed it. New Egg would have replaced it had I not removed the bar code from the box. Newegg went out of their way to satisfy me. They contacted Westinghouse for me and Westinghouse will repair or replace it as necessary under warrenty. If not for this I would give it 5 eggs. Even with the bad pixel I would purchase this monitor again. You must start this monitor in vga mode (vga monitor connected) then switch to hdmi using the monitor menu. At this point turn off the monitor and connect the monitor to a dvi or hdmi source.

Overall Review: To fully appreciate this monitor you need to purchase a 10.2 giga bits per second cable. I purchased a Sonicwave cable. A one meter cable cost me $45.00. It meets the cable requirements of HDMI 1.3. The improvement in picture quality was amazing. You need to read the training material at www.hdmi.com. HDMI and DVI are negotiated communications proticals. The cable is everthing.

Pros: Large inexpensive monitor with an attractive case. Upgraded from a 2 year old 22 inch Westinghouse LCD that has been problem free so far. Neither unit has any dead pixels. Have watched 24 inch monitor prices for a while and was surprised to see this 26 inch model show up at $399.99 w/free shipping.

Cons: This monitor does have an audible whine but it is largely masked by my case fans. I have also experienced eye strain with the default factory settings. Very limited connection options but the vga connection delivers a sharp picture at 1920 by 1200. Monitor was delivered in a untaped flimsy factory box that almost fell open when I picked it up at UPS. Unit survived intact with no obvious damage. Base requires a hard slap to fully seat.

Overall Review: Followed another users advice and set the unit to text mode. I also turned down brightness and contrast to 35.

Pros: I only have good things to say is good about these LCDs. I ordered 2 from the egg to replace an aging set of 3 22" crts. 1 stuck pixel total between them both, and it went away. It was so small that it was hard to even find, so don't worry about them. They are incredibly bright, I work in a really dark room and I run them at the lowest brightness. 51" of lcd goodness on my desk for under $900, BUY THESE NOW!

Cons: I wish they were not so big, that way i could fit 3 on my desk...but what am i going to do, they are freaking 25.5 inch lcds. The hight is not adjustable, they sit about and inch higher then my crts did, got used to it after a few days, dont even notice now.

Overall Review: The built in speakers(not the inverters) hum when you run the screens at anything below 100% brightness. There is a mute function in the menu that fixes this, the speakers are pretty worthless anyways. Both of the included dvi-hdmi cables that I received worked fine, but they were not long enough for me. I am running 1920x1200 over el cheapo 15' cables without any problems off a radeon 3650, so the screens are not that picky about the signal quality. They are really good on power, Picture mode=90w, Text = 50w and Econ = 32w.

Pros: huge Clear HDMI & DVI huge speakers (didn't try them, but nice to have) did I mention Huge?

Cons: Doesn't have Svideo port built in (whoa... what a big con, eh? heh heh)

Overall Review: Sure it's bright at first; just change the settings. I didn't have the "no signal" issue. Lucky me I guess?

Pros: I love this monitor! Its huge, its bright, crystal clear resolutions. HDMI input works wonderfully.

Cons: Almost too good? Only complaint... when on the "picture" brightness mode, it was so bright my eyes started to water on white screens. but on "text" mode, its perfect.

Overall Review: For all those who dont pay attention to what they are buying. Because its HDMI instead of DVI, it doesnt auto-sense the port when you plug it in out of the box. That's okay! When you turn it on and it doesnt find the signal, press the menu button and change signal input to HDMI. simple as that. no need to plug in VGA, then turn off computer, reset input, restart computer, plug in HDMI cable, and then turn the computer back on like other review say, just use the menu... that's why its there!

Pros: Massive if you are upgrading from 20". Cheap. Nice button on the side to quickly allow you to switch between "Picture", "Text" and "Economy" brightness modes which I found helpful when being bathed in radiation.

Cons: Very apparent ghosting in many situations when using the supplied DVI-to-HDMI cable, barely noticeable when using the supplied VGA cable (and my own DVI-to-VGA connector). Stand has no height adjustment, tilt adjustment is awkward, both stand and monitor seem suspiciously light. Not sure if this is just me being new to LCDs this size, but it seems hard to position myself in front of the monitor so that the top of the screen is the same brightness as the bottom of the screen. OSD is sort of awkward to control at first because the buttons are on the side of the monitor. Monitor is almost too large, you forget that you don't need to move your head in order to see both sides of the screen.

Overall Review: After purchasing this monitor another user posted a review saying DVI did not work out of the box, which had me pretty scared. Plugged the monitor in with the supplied DVI-to-HDMI cable and after a reboot it still didn't seem to work. I realized it had no "auto-sensing" feature and by default it was set to analog input, so before you freak out, realize you have to set the proper input with the button on the side. I called Westinghouse about the ghosting issue and they said the product was fairly new and it's possible the included DVI-to-HDMI cable just wasn't of a high enough quality to support the resolution/timing. They asked me to buy a new cable and to let them know if it got better performance, as they would need to know if the cables they were sending out weren't good enough. Awaiting the new cable now.

Pros: Upgraded to this beast from a Westinghouse 20.5 monitor. No dead pixels. High quality looking base and picture from a very affordable monitor this size. It did arrive looking like a bear had mauled the box so much so that the UPS guy insisted I check the monitor - probabley not the Egg since nothing but quality from them before. Connected to an 8800 ultra with a DVI to HDMI cable.

Cons: Manual is a bare bones. Had to learn the hard way that monitor will not even attempt to switch from analog to digital input untill the digital input is already present.

Overall Review: The user reviews the NewEgg puts up really helped me make an informed decision on what to avoid and buy with a good result. I appreciate they don't only post the good ones..if everything is awesome rated the ratings are useless.

Pros: Best deal out right now on a 25.5" monitor. I assume this will shortly drive down all prices on competitors. With $50 rebate and $30-40 off by NewEgg, it really is great bang for the buck. Runs great at 1920*1200 on my new e8400 rig. Turned brightness down to 50, so definitely bright enough for anyone. No dead pixels. Very nice picture with no ghosting so far.

Cons: The only con for me coming from a Samsung 204T is that the height is not adjustable. It's no big deal as the height is perfect for me, but could be an issue for others. I assume DVI-HDMI cable is junk based on previous reviews and haven't even tried it. I purchased an inexpensive, high quality cable on another site.

Overall Review: My only concerns are long-term reliability as these were only announced by Westinghouse a few months ago and at the time I purchased, there were only 5 reviews on the Egg (all 4-5). I usually pick something out longer so I know it's reliable (Samsung), but the price was too good. So far I have only seen complaints/concerns as to the DVI cable & default analog setting. For what it's worth, mine arrived defaulted to digital setting and working perfectly out of box with HDMI/DVI cable. As usual, NewEgg rocks. I ordered at noon for free 3-day shipping. Shipped from Memphis to Mississippi to New Orleans and received within 24 hrs of order. Rig is homemade e8400, eVGA 8800GTS 512mb, Gigabyte p35-Ds3L, 4gb G-skill DDR2, XP
