Don't be fooled. This monitor ROCKS. The display is bright, sharp, and full of detail. I was very impressed. No dead pixels, and a nice looking peice of equipment. The price is about 50 bucks cheaper on TigerDirect than at my local office supply store. Excellent product.
TechTip:
Cleaning Your LCD Monitor or TV
Now that you have your new LCD Monitor or Widescreen TV, it is important to
use the right products to clean it. The wrong cleaner can damage the
surface of your display. However, there are many new cleaning products on the market designed especially for
LCD displays. We recommend using a soft, lint-free cloth and a special LCD
cleaner. (You can also use a cleaner that
contains any of the following: Water, Vinegar (mixed with water), or Isopropyl alcohol). BUT Do Not Use cleaners that contain any of the following agents: Acetone, Ethyl alcohol, Ethyl acid, Ammonia, Methyl chloride!
Important:
Do not spray any liquids directly on the LCD screen. Always apply the
solution to your cloth first, not directly to the parts you are cleaning.
Always use a soft cotton cloth. Some materials, such as paper towels or old
rags can cause scratches and damage the LCD screen.

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.
LCD Technology: Response Time - Enabling
crisp full-motion video
With the recent widespread use of PC and online games, and PCs equipped with
DVD drives give users more opportunities to see moving images such as those
in 3D games or action movies on screen. This increase in motion picture
content means computer monitors must be able to display not only still
images, but moving ones as well. Manufacturers and IT publications often
cite a fast response time as an indication that a display can play videos or
games with little or no blurring. Hence, we would like to share with you
what response time is, and how helpful it is in determining how well an LCD
display (TV or Monitor) can portray moving images.

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!
