HP L1706

Pros: Price, appearance

Cons: Color controls

Summary: I purchased this for my second monitor. It fits the bill well, however, I would not recommend it as a primary monitor. The color is fine on its own but it has insufficient range in its adjustment and I have had a problem matching within a certain degree the color of my primary. The text rendering is generally bad, I was expecting much more but with some color adjustment using the ATI catalyst tools I was able to greatly improve the text. But, for the price, I can't be too sad. I bought the monitor for $159.00 at Buy.com then received a $40 rebate and free shipping. Well worth $119 but not worth $200.
