"Glare makes this monitor unusable" on
Pros: The color is absolutely brilliant, and image quality is the best I've seen on a monitor.
Cons: The glare on this monitor is 10X worse than on a CRT. Using this monitor for extended periods of times will leave you with incredible eye strain. I think I'm going to exchange mine. The monitor itself is great, but the acrylic cover is death to the eye

"Perhaps the best 17" LCD out there?" on by jmitman
Pros: Tremendously vivid brightness, design stands out from others
Cons: Inflexible neck/adjuster, blacks and dark tones turn panel into a mirror
Summary: I've had this panel for over a year, and I have not had one problem with it. None.
The moment that I powered it on and viewed my desktop for the first time, I was stunned at the brightness and clarity. Colors and bright tones are displayed vividly on this panel. One downside are dark tones and blacks in general, as you end up viewing yourself staring into the monitor. This isn't too big a deal for me, but might be for some.
One of the things that makes this LCD stand out is its general design and form factor. It just looks damn cool, as many others have posted here.
As nearly everybody else has pointed out here, 2 other slight downsides to this panel. The inflexible stand and crummy OSD button interface. I was terrified when I first had to adjust the stand to my liking, as it is incredibly rigid and difficult to figure out at first. Once you screw around with it for a while, however, it's not too big a deal. I generally don't move my monitor, so this isn't a problem for me.
The OSD buttons on the right of the panel are also fairly un-user friendly, but again, I do not use them all that frequently in the first place.
To me, the most important aspects when purchasing a panel were response times when playing games, brightness of colors, and overall looks. This panel possesses all of these qualities, and should absolutely be purchased by anybody looking for a 17" display.
