This monitor brings you great colors and amazing contrast. It includes the Pivot Pro software which allows you to rotate the contents of your desktop at the same moment when you pivot your screen physically. This capability allows you to read PDF files, for example, like they were written on a regular "tall" letter paper.

There is one feature that I do not like too much. While the image looks nice from incredible angles from the left as well as from the right, the screen looks brighter when observed from the top than if you view it from the bottom. This also implies that while the monitor is rotated, your left eye sees a darker image than your right eye.

The LCD panel is connected in the same way as ordinary CRT monitors. Therefore you should not expect that ClearType and similar things designed for purely digitally controlled LCD panels will be too efficient.

Every graphical mode remembers separate settings (horizontal and vertical displacement; colors etc.). Until yesterday I thought that Windows XP did not allow me to view the games using low-resolution modes properly. But it does.

The current price at amazon.com is less than fifty per cent of the price indicated at the manufacturer's website at this moment. LCD panels are much healthier and their image is sharper and more stable than that of CRT monitors. They also consume less power and they occupy less space. But be prepared that this LCD monitor is thicker than many (thin) LCD panels. I think that it looks elegant - including its round hole for cables at the bottom of the monitor - and I can recommend you this model unequivocally.

is a good monitor and low price
