I bought this monitor 3 years ago, and I love it!!
The picture is beautiful, it's compact, and it's the perfect companion to my Dell computer.

Awesome buy, 5 out of 5 stars!!!

Pros: Good picture quality, stylish design, simple interface
Cons: None so far.

I bought this monitor after my CRT monitor went out on me. I did a little research and this monitor got really high marks from people.

I'm a graphic designer and I was a little worried about the reviews that talked about the color quality being low and almost didn't buy this monitor for that reason. However, after using the monitor for almost a year, I'm extremely happy that I bought it.

It looks great and it's extremely clear and crisp. I use it for everything from web browsing, to games to graphic design and it does all three well (even CAD work in AutoCad and SolidWorks is really good looking).

Overall, this is a wonderful monitor for the price.
