"LCD monitor perfect for gamers with narrow pocket" on by santaclown
Pros: The graphic produced by this monitor is great and worth the value. I tried to plug my PS3 directly with HDMI cable and it goes very easy to set up. Highly recommended.
Cons: The buttons on the screen panel (power button, menu etc) is hard to detect.

"Great Value Monitor" on by vexule
Pros: Fast response time, crisp picture, multiple video-in options.
Cons: I agree that the stand could use some improvement, but this only really affects your ability to use the touch sensitive controls which you shouldn't be doing that often.
Summary: I upgraded from a 17 inch Samsung LCD monitor which I've had for about seven years, so I don't have anything recent to compare it to. However, after reading up on the newer 24 inch widescreen monitors, this just seemed like a deal that was too good to pass up. I luckily got it in an open box for $265 which, at the time I purchased it, was about $30 off the regular price. I use it mostly for writing code and gaming... and it really accels in both those areas when compared to my old monitor. I would definitely recommend this to a friend unless they were an "videophile." I don't really notice any light bleed, but I'm sure this type of thing would annoy people who are used to the higher end equipment.

"Great gaming monitor. Great price!" on by phinphan1
Pros: Excellent picture quality, touch controls are clear and easy to use, very sleek design, colors are crisp and accurate, no dead pixels, great response time, no ghosting!
Cons: slight light bleed, top and bottum (to be expected with TN panel). Stand could be a little more sturdy. Glossy exterior is a dust magnet!
Summary: I use this monitor almost exclusively for gaming. All of my my games look and play great. I would not hesitate to recommend this monitor to anyone looking for a great gaming monitor at a great price.

"Close but, not really." on by breakdancefight
Pros: Sleek design with ultra thin bezel, motion sensitive controls scream high end electronics. The 2ms response promises ghost free gaming and movie experience.
Cons: Poorly constructed stand makes for shaky experience. The same cool motion sensitive controls at for some serious frustration, while adjusting picture. Backlight bleed on all four side and un-uniform backlighting make for a sour experience.
Summary: With a real lack in picture adjustments, especially backlight controls it is hard to recommend for any real use. Gaming on this monitor would be great if it were not for the uneven backlight. Playing games like Dead Space with any dark areas becomes frustrating when 1/3 of the screen is washed out with backlight bleed. This being a TN panel I know it is generally accepted that there will bleeding issues, but to this extent is not acceptable.
