Its color difficulty in our DisplayMate tests translated into slightly bland color reproduction in the movie Kill Bill Vol. 1, in particular in the House of Blue Leaves scene, where there is a huge variety of colors. We saw similar errors with Swordfish on Blu-ray, though they were less noticeable. The display's sharpness and picture uniformity remained steady in all of our evaluation scenes from the movie, even in scenes with very fast action like the hill slide scene with Don Cheadle and Hugh Jackman.

We had no problems using the display for normal office use. Its viewing angle holds up at least to 45 degrees left and right, however, trying to the view text from above revealed some quality issues. Luckily, the display can be tilted back a good 35 degrees.
