I just purchased this monitor--moving from an older IBM 21 inch CRT monitor and WOW what a difference! Just reclaimed what seemed like 4 square feet of desk space and not to mention the power bill also improved by probably $50 a month! Honestly though--great picture out of the box. Maybe a bit too vivid if I was being picky but I believe most people will love the picture it produces without any adjustments. I decided to breakout my calibration disk that I used on my HDTV so I set the resolution to 1920 x 1080 and then tweaked the contrast, brightness, etc and once done it was fantastic! Blacks are very good for an LCD--but do not expect plasma levels. Very quick refresh rate--I was a bit worried that when I play games that I would see ghosting--Nope. None. When playing HD video on ITunes, it looked very good. I highly recommend the monitor to anyone. The price/value ratio is the best I could find.

This is an AMAZING monitor. I consider myself a techie and I spent nearly a month searching for the best lcd monitor that wouldn't break the bank. This is by far one of the best purchases I've made in my life. If you are still looking around debating between monitors, please don't waste anymore time. Get this one. I did the research, read and watched tons of reviews on tons of monitors and this one has exceeded my expectations, which were very high. It's 2 ms response time is great and there is absolutely no ghosting (I've ran tests on it). The contrast is superb, although the blacks could be a little deeper at times, but still, they are great and I am very, very particular about good black levels. The monitor is extremely clear and it truly shines at 1080p. I've played multiple games on my ps3 through the hdmi port on this monitor and I can surely say that this is the best I've ever seen my games look, even when I compare to other lcd tv's I've connected it. This monitor is so clear that I notice details in games that I had never noticed before. This monitor also has an audio out (headphone jack) port, which is not common among cheaper lcd monitors, which only have the audio in for sound from your pc (this has both), and it's phenomenal because I can connect my sound system to the monitor and not have to deal with it's built in speakers. I personally have not used the built in speakers, but seriously, you probably aren't either considering that you could get a decent set of computer speakers for $10 or $20. It also has a dvi and vga port. My computer is connected through vga, and it looks extraordinary in 1080p. The screen is massive and text is extremely clear. Even the smallest text will still come out clear and readable. The colors are vibrant and pop out very well. I never knew how good games like Pixel Junk Eden could look until I purchased this monitor. Oh yeah, and for those of you worried about dead pixels (I was too), mine came with no dead pixels. I trust amazon's policy and I'd say as long as you purchase the monitor from here, you should be fine. I've owned it for about a week now, and I can surely say that this was a great purchase. The only con I've had is that the monitor has an auto sleep feature if it doesn't get signal from whatever you have connected for 1-2 secs, which is a very short time frame. This can get pretty annoying because sometimes I have to shut the monitor off and turn it back on to get the picture back from my ps3 because it stops displaying signal sometimes when it's loading a game, and that makes the monitor go to sleep. But really, that happens very infrequently and this monitor starts up in less than 2 secs, which makes that much less annoying. So in conclusion, if you are looking for an lcd monitor, BUY THIS ONE NOW. The picture quality is amazing (and I am very particular about the clarity of my displays) and the monitor itself looks great as well. The stand may look like a cheap plastic in the picture, but in reality it looks great and feels more like a high quality rubbery material with a ring of gloss on it which matches the glossy finish of the monitor. The screen is matte which is great so it doesn't reflect light and the colors are extremely vibrant and high definition picture looks beautiful on this monitor. All in all, I love this monitor and I'm sure you will too.

My settings: Scenery mode, brightness 58, contrast 80, ASCR off, Sharpness 44, Saturation 59, H Position 51, V-Position 50, Color Temp Cool

After using a 20 inch imac for over 3 years it was time to upgrade. The screen on the 20 inch had become unevenly lit, and had seen it's better days. I decided to upgrade to the new 24 inch imac decked out. After returning 3 yes 3 of them due to screen issues it was time to move on. I got a refund, and decided to purchase a mac pro so I could have control of the screen. I decided this monitor was the best for the money at the time. The first one I got had an obvious stuck pixel. It was green, and just about in the middle of the screen. Anymore I'm used to taking things back as now consumers are the quality control. A couple of button presses later I had another one on the way. I must say for an online retailer amazon has unbelievable customer service. The bad one was picked up at the same time the new one was delivered so I had no down time without a monitor. Thats very important when you just got a new computer that your dieing to get all set up!!! I never even had to talk to one person. Needless to say the replacement monitor was perfect! Maybe not quite as bright as the 24 inch imac, but it was too bright for extended use anyhow. The only problem I have with this monitor is when using a hdmi to dvi cable the monitor will not sleep with the computer. When using a dvi to dvi it sleeps perfectly. Not a big deal as I just turn it off when I leave. Probably saves more energy anyways. So to conclude I am very satisfied with this purchase from amazon.com! Thanks!
