This is a very clear monitor when hooked up to the DVI input. Just got it for Christmas, with the new computer I built and it works great. The speakers leave a little to be desired so I use my Boston Acoustics digital speakers instead for the main machine, hence the 4 stars for quality. My old P4 Ubuntu computer is hooked up to the VGA port and the built-in speakers and works well switching monitor modes depending on which computer I am using.
Fantastic Monitor!

I love this monitor, it has a crisp clear picture for gaming, movies, webtv. I do like that it has all three connection types as I do receive some older PC's to fix I sometimes need a vga connection. This was such a great price for such a high quality monitor I bought 3 more.
Can't beat the value

Crisp, clear, vibrant, and not a single dead pixel. Only had it for 2 weeks, but thus far no problems at all. I've seen better pictures than this, but not for this price!
Awesome!

I love this monitor so much I bought 2 in the last year. Works great and the display is super clear. When you compare monitors, make sure to check the Contrast AND dynamic contrast. This is also a 1080p monitor.
Understanding LCD Display Dead Pixels A liquid crystal display (LCD) is a thin, electronic flat
panel used to display information and images. It includes monitors for computers, televisions,
instrument panels, and other devices ranging from aircraft cockpit displays, to every-day consumer
devices such as video players, gaming devices, clocks, watches, calculators, and telephones. LCDs
are simply everywhere now.
Its major features and benefits
are: lightweight construction (compared to Plasma displays); portability (in the case of smaller
displays); the ability to be produced in much larger screen sizes than were practical for older Tube
(CRT) displays; and perhaps most important, its much lower power consumption.
Technically, an LCD display is an "electronically-modulated optical
device" made up of any number of tiny pixels filled with liquid crystals and arrayed in front of a
light source (backlight) or reflector to produce images in color. The earliest discoveries
leading to the development of LCD technology date from 1888. Today, tube CRT displays are almost a
thing of the past!
Unfortunately, from time to time, a new LCD TV or Monitor will have
a problem pixel. This is where the physical crystal actually is stuck or frozen in place.
However, don't panic, since these can frequently be fixed.
There are three basic types of problem pixels:
a hot pixel (always on, usually white)
a dead pixel (always off, black)
a stuck pixel (one or more sub-pixels (red, blue or green) are
always on or always off)
To solve a problem pixel, it is recommended to let the display
fully warm up (leave on for at least a full day) - this alone can fix many problems, as the display
expands due to warming and can free the pixel. Always try this before calling for help.
Next, call the manufacturer's technical support for other techniques that they might recommend -
each manufacturer may have different solutions for their products. There are also other
techniques that you might try, but always be careful not to damage your display, as this might void
your warranty.
LCD Problem Pixel Policy In the event that warranty service or an exchange is
required, it is important to understand that every manufacturer has their own dead pixel policies,
and that they should be contacted about solutions before requesting any exchange. We want you
to experience the best possible image on your LCD, so typically, an LCD TV or Monitor with 5 hot,
dead, or stuck pixels would qualify for an exchange within the first 30 days of ownership after support efforts have been exhausted.
See the product warranty below for more information.
Dual Monitor
Technology
Few PC users have ever experienced the huge productivity boost that comes
from using multiple monitors on the same PC. Ironically, many of
today's PC have the capability already installed, and Windows (since 2000)
natively supports dual monitors. Configuring dual monitors is so easy: just use
the second video port (if there are two separate ports installed), or add a
second video card or better yet, a video card that has dual DVI ports.
Then plug in your second monitor, change a couple of simple Windows settings,
and you have double the Windows Desktop. This lets you have your
spreadsheet and email visible at the same time, or PowerPoint and Photoshop.
The combinations are endless. And since most of the overhead is
handled by the video card, there is little significant impact (if any) on
system performance. Dual Monitors is one of the simplest, yet most
amazing productivity boosters you can add to your PC! Optionally, you can use a dual monitor stand and recover your workspace in the process!
