1 Decent for the price
It looks like the price has gone up since I got it, so it might not be the same value that it was previously. But the quality is definitely decent.
As I've seen people recommend for other LCDs, you should run this monitor in the native 1280x1024. Otherwise, pixel interpolation will blur the text. If you are using the monitor to play video games, they will almost certainly run at a lower resolution, and thus be interpolated. But interpolation is fine for graphics and video games. It hurts the eyes to look at the interpolation for text, however.
Some people may not want to run at the full 1280x1024, since it makes window widgets and text tiny. So these people will have to settle with interpolation, which make be even worse.
Another person mentioned damage upon arrival of the monitor. I've had no such problem.
The install instructions are skimpy. I'm using this monitor under Linux and I was suprised to find a Linux section in the installation guide. But it was little help. In fact, the technical specification could not be found among the documentation, and I had to go back to Amazon to figure out, i.e., what the horizontal and vertical refresh ranges were so that X11R6 could find the optimal refresh rate of 76Hz.
Interestingly, the box claims compatibility with Macintosh and Solaris, but I definitely haven't tested this for either.
Going from a CRT, I immediately have relief from the flickering that is inherent to CRTs. But my eyes will still have to get used to this monitor.
2 Not what I expected.
I was quite disappointed by the picture quality on this monitor. It was better than my elderly CRT monitor, but nowhere near as crisp as the LCD display on my HP laptop. Also, one of the navigation buttons on the front display was inoperable.
The viewing angle, adjustability, and overall form factor of this monitor was very nice. It's a shame the most important part -- the screen itself -- was so unsatisfactory.
3 excellent LCD
with so low price, i can not believe that I can buy so good an LCD. it is so worth it. very clear and crisp. the viewable screen is wide.easy to set up.The Autoadjust fuction makes it very easy to set the LCD to it best performance.The only problem i can find now is that some times during screen saver, it becomes blank,just leaving some lines on the screen, without any other images.I do not know why.but if you use autoadjust fucntion, it becomes Ok instantly.
4 Amazon Drop Kicked The Product
The monitor itself seemed to be great, but when it arrived the box was barely taped shut. Then, when I opened it, the monitor box was already opened and all the styrofoam was demolished. Upon further inspection, it was clear Amazon ordered the monitor from another online merchant and then repackaged it. Unbelievable. Do not order large items from Amazon. It's been almost four weeks since I sent it back and I've still not heard a single word about it. Oh yea I had to buy the monitor locally since it was a gift. Now this monitor is going to cost me $1600 thanks to amazon.
5 Excellent LCD
Refresh rates on this LCD are awesome, even from games. It runs 1280x1024 at 75Hz, with an extremely sharp and colorful picture. Highly recommended.
6 Crisp Display, Great Value
My friend just got this today. The monitor is crisp and clear. The long cord that came with it made it easy to connect to the video card and Windows ME automatically recognized it as soon as the computer booted up. I was very impressed and I know that LCD panels have come down in price, so now is a great time to pick this one up.
