"Huuuuuge and good... but...."

4.5 stars  | on by werfulsnerf

Pros

The size is awesome, looks bigger on my large desk then it did in the store. Also colors are very nice, as a hard core computer geek/enginner I really like this monitor, I cannot really fault it.

Cons

My opionion of the contracts is a little off from my 20 viewsonic WS monitor that I just passed off to my wife, The stupid sticker on the top front of the monitor is a pain to get off and leaves goo

Summary

Other then the sticker and the cheesy cable management on the back I would give this thing a 10. No pixel issues, clean lines, Everquest2 and my flight sims and FPS's rock on this thing.

The only other thing that bugs me is the control buttons are small hard

The only other thing that bugs me is the control buttons are small hard to see and flush mounted, which looks nice but are a pain to use...

But be ready to get some neck exercises in because you will not be able to see the WHOLE display without moving your head! Did I mention this thing is HUUUUGE!??

I got this monitor refurbished. I must say it's a very nice monitor. I have a Samsung here, a 22" widescreen, and I love it, but this monitor has an even brighter picture, and it doesn't wash out. I loved my Samsung, and bought the Viewsonic just to use on my spare computer for when friends come over. After using it for a month this way, I swapped monitors and now use the Viewsonic on my computer. It is brighter with better contrast. It also seems to have less motion blur. It does not have the presets my Samsung has, but it doesn't seem to need them as everything looks fine on it. I have a computer desk with a hutch. One problem I've found is that the monitor won't fit into the hutch, it's just too big. So, it sits slightly in front of the hutch. I find the height of the monitor is perfect for me, so I don't have to use the height adjustment but a larger person would have no problem at all since it's so easy to use. The speakers sound like what you would expect from speakers in a monitor cabinet. I don't bother using them since I have a surround system, however I would think they would be handy in an office where a sound system or external speakers would just get in the way. However, the area at the bottom of the bezel where the speakers are mounted is quite large, and adds to the size of the bezel. This is why the monitor already stands so high, and why it won't fit in my hutch. When combined with the silver trim that sticks out about 1/4 of an inch all around the outside of the bezel, it makes the overall size of the monitor quite large. My 22" Samsung looks downright slim beside this large beasty.
All in all, this monitor is sweet. I would recommend it to anyone not having a hutch over their desk.

"Great Monitor for the money"

Pros

Big Screen, Looks Nice

Cons

Not many video inputs, and could have better contrast

Summary

My cube is right next to a sunny windown, so maybe my contrast remark is a little harsh, but the no HMDI input is a bummer. Other than that, great screen.
