Customer Reviews

"I wall mount my monitors to clear space on the desk. This usually works out well, but the problem with this setup is it is right beside my conventional 27" LCD.
Uh. Bad idea. The other monitor just appears so LAME and FEEBLE next to this thing, I'm ashamed of it, and cannot imagine how I read or viewed anything on it. And it IS a decent LCD monitor. Or was a few days ago.
This will spoil you.
The images and text are so crisp and sharp, colors are pure and brilliant.
This is like going from a CRT. A dirty one. (Same video card as the system next to it, so the systems had nothing to do with the comparison.)

One does have to do a little groping to find the buttons on the right side (They are actually on the rear edge) to adjust the brightness and contrast..Which you will want to do unless you have set the system up on the beach, or unless you habitually wear welding goggles.

The vendor shipped instantly. It arrived the day before my new computer. No-brainer plug and play. Windows 7 recognized it instantly.
At the low price, I cannot imagine anyone being dissapointed..It's a great value.

A benefit to LED illumination is that the most frequent cause of failures in LCD monitors I have had over the years has been the backlighting. When that fails, it usually ends up being the end of the product life.

"I have had this monitor for about two months without a problem. So this is what I think:

PRO:
-No dead pixels.
-Large work area (I upgraded from a 17")
-VERY bright, i had to turn down the brightness to 30%.
-Easy menu navigation.
-SUPER thin and light, it's amazing!
-Nice clean design.
-Energy efficient! :D

BUT:
-Poor speakers, but i use external ones anyway.
-The stand is a bit thin, may wobble if you have a shaky desk.
-1920x1080 supported but make sure you graphics card can do it, I had to tweak my GMA945 for it ot work.

Overall very good for the price, would buy again.

"This product arrived extremely fast, and I absolutely LOVE this monitor!

I originally wanted a 23" LED monitor, however I went with this one for the solid build of it, and for the 3 year warranty :).

Like others have mentioned, the base is a little shaky, but if placed on a solid surface then there's nothing to worry about :).

I was afraid that the Dynamic Contrast Ratio would be too bright and blinding, but I have found it to be quite the opposite! It took a little getting used to (as is for all new monitors), but the quality of images and videos is quite wonderful. It makes everything look better :D.

Highly recommended :).
