This monitor produces the most beautiful color I've ever seen! I love the deep reds. There is also no edge bleed, and I view it in total darkness most of the time.

I agree with the above reviewer, you should turn off the dynamic contrast. It does more harm than good.

There is one more setting you may want to try. DVDs looked terrible at first. The colors were extremely exaggerated, the whites were blown out, and the highlights were pixilated. I tried all the adjustments on my video card and DVD software to no avail. Then I decided to read the manual (what a concept!). It turned out to be the default color setting of 6500K. I set it to sRGB, and my jaw hit the floor. It put my Sony GDM-FW900 to shame. Just beautiful!

Close, but no cigar. This monitor shows artifacts that where previously masked by my FW900. I spent the next few evenings tweaking FFDshow, and now I have a picture that far exceeds my expectations.

I waited a long time for an LED backlit monitor to become available. I'm glad I waited!

I've used 2 of these monitors for less than a year and was pretty happy with them, but I use them only for work. I knew the on/off button was a cheap little thing when I first turned it on (lights up blue when on). Now after less tham a year (about 9 months), it pushed in so far you can't use it anymore. It is down below the surface. Just waiting for the other one to go. It's a good thing it did it with the monitor on or I wouldn't be able to turn it on - it would be "stuck" on off. Cheaply made for the money.

I am a digital color specialist for a printing company where I mainly focus on image color correction and retouch. In my job I have had at my disposal top of the line equipment and when I decided to purchase a new LCD for my personal use I found only this one display that reached my attention. This display is only slightly less than the professional LED backlit displays by other companies and at a much lower price! I calibrated it with a spyder pro 2 and I just can not believe how beautiful it is. I am not going to be playing games or watching too many movies on it but for image work it is better than the 30" HD display that I currently have at my job.
