4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent monitor for price, March 16, 2008

By	Ram Sundaram "RS" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this monitor for general purpose use and for gaming.
It fits the bill perfectly for ~$320.

PROS:
Fast response, no ghosting.
Decently clear, nice n bright
USB Hub built-in
HDMI Input
Overall good looking monitor with small footprint

CONS:
TN Monitor - colors arent the greatest.
Need to look at it DEAD ON, or colors shift.
Narrow viewing angle from all directions.
Colors screwed up in factory setting. turn down colors to ~70 (RGB)
No UP-DOWN or Tilt feature - cant expect it from an entry level monitor I guess


Again, for ~325, it gets the job done so thats why I gave it a 4 star.
The viewing angle is a bit too narrow even for entry level which is why it doesnt get a 5 star rating.

Happy computing!

2.0 out of 5 stars Ok Monitor but..., November 15, 2008

By	Justin Freye "Hamilton" (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I agree with most of what other people have said about this monitor, that its a good, but not great monitor, that sells for a decent price. When mine was working I was pleased with it. However I recently had some problems with mine and found that Dell did not assign a "service tag" to this piece of hardware. This makes it pretty much impossible to receive any sort of online tech support. So unless you like being on the phone with someone from India the 3 year warranty has some severe limitations. I was seriously blown away that they would pull something like this, but there are other companies out there to buy from.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for gaming, August 20, 2008

By	Erich O'Dowd (New Hampshire, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I hooked this up to my PS3 with an DVI to HDMI cable. It works great as a cheap alternative to an HDTV if the only reason you want one is gaming. I also use it for computing, the widescreen really clears up your desktop space.
The viewing angle could be wider, but this seems pretty common among the HD widescreen monitors I've seen.
