"Great Monitor, Terrible Stand"
Pros: Excellent picture quality for both graphics & text at this price.
Cons: Stand is WAY too low and completely non-adjustable.
Summary: I was shopping for a 19" LCD monitor but I didn't want to spend a lot so I knew I'd have to make concessions somewhere. My budget was roughly $200. This monitor had the best technical specs in my price range (2,000 - 1 contrast ratio, 2ms refresh rate) and since the reviews for the monitors I was considering were inconsistent, I went for the best specs. The picture quality is everything I had hoped for. Great color plus strong on graphics, text and video. With a total price at $195 with a mail-in rebate & free shipping, I feel like I got top value for my money.
The one problem is with the stand. It's super short- only 2.5 inches high- and does not adjust in any way. The only way to get added height or tilt is to put something under the stand.
So the concession I made was in the stand. I'd rather have great picture quality and have to put the monitor on a large book to adjust the height than sacrifice picture for a superior stand. If you want a 19" monitor on a budget, I highly recommend this one.
