    Duration of ownership:3 Months

    Strengths: Sharp picture and vivid colorsThin BezelOnscreen controlsFully Mac-CompatibleIncludes VGA and DVI cables

    Weaknesses: Onscreen controls a bit tricky to get used to.No height adjustment (few monitors do these days)Text not quite as sharp at res below 1440x900

    Overall Evaluation: Very sharp picture and vivid colors that seem very accurate. Thin Bezel (about .75" all around, but tapered at sides and bottom for thinner appearance). Onscreen controls have thematic settings (text, standard, graphics, movie, and custom); custom setting is fully user-customizable and settings are maintained if you want to switch to thematic setting (for a movie, for example) and then back. Only drawbacks are that controls take a bit to get used to, and text looks a bit fuzzy at any resolution lower than the "native" 1440x900, but that's fairly normal; at least in Word one can zoom the view to increase text size.Notes: I use an Apple iBook G4 (with a video hack to allow higher resolution) with VGA connection.Overall, I'm thrilled with the monitor, especially since I bought it on a great sale (at Best Buy).

    Strengths: Outstanding resolution. Plug & Play works great. I have used the monitor on 3 different systems running 2000 to Vista and it is up & running in seconds.

    Weaknesses: No monitor height adjustment

    Overall Evaluation: I highly recommend this 19" Widescreen LCD Monitor. The high resolution display is outstanding. If you are moving up to a LCD monitor you will be impressed. If you have used LCD monitors, you will still be impressed. This is not only a very competitvely priced LCD Monitor, but it has excellent resolution for the price range.

    Strengths: 1. This has the highest resolution of 1680 X 1050 that you will not find in any other 19" LCD.2. No dead pixels.3. 5ms Response time makes the monitor ideal for any quick changing images like game

    Weaknesses: 1. You can't get this 1680 X 1050 resolution on your VGA (analog) line unless your Display device (onboard/graphic card) supports this specifically

    Overall Evaluation: This is the best LCD monitor I ever had. I was specially impressed with the high resolution compared to any other monitor in the market.The other good part is that it came with both the VGA and the DVI cables. The resolution of 1680 X 1050 got recognized on my DVI interface, but when I tried the same on the VGA, I would not get that option on my display properties. So if you have only a VGA output, with you Display device not listing this resolution, be careful, you may run into issues.Overall, this is the best monitor I have used and hence I would give it a 5 star rating.
