Pros: Accepts DVI input, which allows for greater signal clarity than traditional VGA.
Cons: Has 0.294 mm dot pitch, which is less favorable than some similarly priced monitors. Also, this monitor has only 1280x1024 resolution, which is lower than some similarly priced monitors. For example, the NEC Multisync 1940WCXM , a 19 in monitor at around $285, has 1440x900 resolution.

Suggestions: (1) Before purchasing an LCD monitor, consider visiting your local store for a live demo to ensure that its overall image quality, color, and sharpness meets your expectation. (2) Since this monitor is DVI-capable, you might want a DVI-enabled graphics card in your PC to connect with it -- this will pass the digital video signal directly without converting it to analog, making for better performance.
