5.0 out of 5 stars Simply fantastic, with 1 very minor drawback, March 18, 2009

Ok, I'll make this short and sweet.
After ordering the monitor, it took no more than what was estimated (5th business day) which is seemingly a rare quality when ordering online now.

The monitor itself has a glossy black metallic look to it (if you're into a contemporary, yet 'WOW!' styled look, this is it!). The image quality isn't perfect when you first set up the monitor, but within 2 minutes of playing with the buttons on the monitor for settings, you can fix it to your preference easily. (anyone who says otherwise doesn't have a graphics card that can support this resolution and refresh rate in a reliable fashion; I have the Radeon 4870 HD and it works flawlessly with it)

Now to mention the drawback, which is so minor that it's unfortunate for me to even have to be mentioned, but it must. In my package I got all the parts included for the quick assembly EXCEPT the screw for the stand (trust me, I looked quite hard for it). Without the screw, the sand will hang over from side to side as if it was placed in a ball-socket joint. Thankfully, it's a quick-fix as the screw-hole is a standard size (don't remember dimensions, but it's nothing hard to find in a hardware store). I just grabbed a look-alike screw from my bin of extra's in the garage and sized it down with a grinding stone so it would be short enough to not stick out of the stand.

All-in-All I can't believe this thing is only 200$! It's definitely a 400-500$ monitor, easily. If you're tempted to buy this, don't hesitate! Who knows how long this price'll last.

Ok I have had my monitor for 10 days now, at first I was not happy with the brighness and contrast of the monitor. After making adjustments with my graphics software and using the controls on the monitor itself I finally got a great picture. I think four stars for picture quality. Now the sound is on the opposite side of the fence, poor and I mean poor sound quality. I was surprised that such a monitor with a great picture quality would actually have such poor sound quality, I did install the wow software but still poor sound, and I have made every adjustment on my computer and the monitor to no avail. Overall I gave this monitor four stars, has a great picture. I really dont care about the monitor speakers as I have surround sound for my computer, and the sound quality is great, you can pick out a surround soud system for your computer for under $50. So for the price great monitor.

4.0 out of 5 stars a major downside unfortunately, January 30, 2010

I love everything about this monitor, EXCEPT that there are no height and tilt adjustments. :( I had to perch mine on a monitor stand so that I wouldn't be angling my neck downward while I work all the time. Aside from that bit of annoyance in the design, the screen quality itself is great!
