Things are looking better!
Pros: Great looking graphics as my photos have never looked better. Text sometimes seems a tad blurry but could be my aging eyes.
Cons: A little bright and 1st unit had a stuck red pixel.(Don't buy from a place that wont exchange it for any reason!)

Suitable
Pros: Independent computer store exchange for a defective monitor with 2 bad pixels, he explained that if it was just 1 pixel, he would not have done it. Easy to install, good for basic computer use. Price.
Cons: Once in awhile during startup, the screen goes black - not sure if it's a software or hardware problem as it happens inconsistently and rarely.

Looking for a cheap replacement for that CGI monitor? Look no further.

Cons: Base has a larger footprint than most LCD screens; Requires a decent graphics card for the most optimal picture
