Pros: Has 1680x1050 resolution, which is higher than some similarly priced monitors.In fact, the average cost of a product with this high a resolution is $345.Its wide viewing angle (170 degrees) is useful whenever the screen is being viewed by more than one person at the same time.Accepts DVI input, which allows for greater signal clarity than traditional VGA.
Cons: None noted, given available product data.
Suitability: Designed for those want a big display in a thin form factor.The 5 ms response time of this screen makes it ideal for fast-moving games and for watching movies.
Value: In view of its inexpensive price, this monitor has great features for the money.In fact, you would typically pay about 20% more to get a flat panel monitor with roughly the same viewable size.
Suggestions: (1) Before purchasing an LCD monitor, consider visiting your local store for a live demo to ensure that its overall image quality, color, and sharpness meets your expectation.(2) Since this monitor is DVI-capable, you might want a DVI-enabled graphics card in your PC to connect with it -- this will pass the digital video signal directly without converting it to analog, making for better performance.
