4.5 out of 5, simply because it doesn't "blow me away" but it doesn't disappoint me either. It's capable of 1600x1200@85hz, which is why I bought it. It's been running it for a number of months now (almost a year) and still going strong. The person who rated it 1 out of 5 was simply describing the moire effect that plagues pretty much every CRT. The good news is, the monitor has a clear moire parameter that, when tuned properly, can completely eliminate the moire. I too was frustrated with the "waves" but after a few minutes of research, I had it gone. I work with photos and design, and I'm picky. I'd recommend this monitor to anyone who doesn't have the money to comfortably afford one of its (far) more expensive competitors.

Lots of of room. Good image. Great gamers monitor.

I was worried about spending so much but am happy after so long as it doesn't break. My old 19" syncmaster 955df is still working so that's a good sign.

Had it about four months now.

I bought this monitor after an exhaustive search for a good flat panel turned up diddly squat. First few days were GREAT, numerous different jacks and options both for hook up and onscreen adjustment(s). But after awhile it started to develop curvy almost vibrating kind of lines in the screen, eminating from the cortners, sides, and center. Almost a wave effect. Most times you dont see it unless your on a high contrast or dominant backdrop such as whites, blues, etc. Its also extremely noticeable whenb playing World Of Warcraft specifically when your dead and you have all those whites and grays on the screen. Im forced to return it and try another one, but I am sure itll be more of the eventual same. When that happens, Ill be switching to BenQ's top notch FP231W flat panel display. STAY AWAY FROM THE 1100DF. ITS NOTHING BUT A PAIN IN THE ASS....... :O(
