Not for everyone
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Ultra-slim, easy access to inputs, contrast, luminance uniformity
Cons: grayscale color accuracy, vertical off-axis viewing / color shifting
Other Thoughts: I REALLY wanted to like this monitor.
LED backlighting is so very 2009, but at what cost? At the price I paid for this LCD, it should be superior in every way to comparably sized TN panels, but i...

Excellent
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Superb quality, easy on the eyes, very thin and light.
Cons: no adjustability, mine came with 1 stuck pixel. This, to me, didnt really matter though...im all about functionality.
Other Thoughts: I bought this to replace a 19" samsung syncmaster. World of difference.
Be sure to put the brightness down to 50% o...

The one review to review them all.
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: less than 1 day
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Ok beautiful monitor, hands down, no questions about it. Blacks look blacker and whites look whiter, I got this monitor on Monday night and Newegg speed hax got it here on Wednesday morning. I am totally astounded by the potential this monitor can hold with new LED technology. I had a Westinghouse 700:1 contrast ratio monitor 16XX by 1050 i forgot the res...

Low power
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: Nice color, deep black and very light and thin.
Used a Wattsup meter to measure power usage.
25 Watts at full brightness. Enabled Auto Brightness and the power dropped to 10-13 Watts!
Bought at a local retailer. Purchased the 22" online with in store pickup. After paying for it I didn't notice it was the 24" until loading it into the car. 24" for the price of 22" can&#...

LED+TN = Perfume+Pig
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: LED makes the contrast pretty amazing - rivaling plasma displays for sure.
Cons: Putting LED backlighting behind a TN panel is like putting perfume on a hog. The color vibrance is terrific, but the TN panel and the associated narrow viewing angle and apparent color gradients make it useless for any work requiring color accuracy. The stand is also flimsy at best.
Other Thoug...

Worth upgrading if you''re considering it.
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: - Color brilliance, a pretty wide gamut (after much tweaking with hues, saturation, gamma, brightness, contrast, etc.)
- Response time: even though it says 2ms GTG, it's generally still faster than 5ms black/white/black/white and I've seen no instances of ghosting while gaming.
- 250 cd/m2 brightness is generally e...

Good all around monitor.
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Contrast, Sharpness, and Brightness are all above average to outstanding. Deep colors and deep darks all the way to bright, bright whites. No ghosting. No dead pixels on mine. Very thin and stylish. After some tuning the monitor looks very impressive. Games and movies look great.
Cons: The monitor shows very rich blues and greens while calmer r...

Solid monitor, peiod.
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: Great for just about anything you'd want to do with a monitor.
Cons: Could cost less.
Other Thoughts: I'm sick of seeing these people on here and HardForums complaining about TN panels all the time. They obviously cause you incredible amounts of distress. Why bother shelling out $300+ for something you supposedly know is gonna be the biggest ...
