Have had this a few months now and am disappointed with it. It has 3 bright pixels (didn't have time when I bought it to try to return it), and the backlighting is pretty uneven. It's brighter at the top and bottom in the center than the rest of the screen on a dark background. On a bright background, it's darker at the top and bottom. Sharpness is very good on DVI input. Not so good on VGA (no LCD is, in my experience). The stand allows movement up and down a few inches and tilts a little, but not much else. Not as large as I thought it would be (I didn't check...). It's more like a stretched 17'' monitor than a stretched 19'', though having 1680 pixels across is great for comparing spreadsheets etc. I couldn't live without all that extra space now. I have this running beside a standard width HannsG 19'' (HN199D) that I got for 129.99 after rebate, and image quality on that is noticeably better in every way. I still prefer to use that as my primary screen (text is bigger, for one thi

It's a beautiful monitor and easy to set up. It has no dead pixels. Got it next day, but only paid for ground!

The monitor was very simple to setup. Looks good, but I tell you after removing my 22'' CRT I miss the clarity. My NEC monitor was by far superior to the LCD. I guess I was expecting too much. Also one dead pixel, not a big deal but it's irritating since it is right center of screen and in a dark screen enviornment it is a (red pinpoint distraction).
