I guess you get what you pay for, I was not familiar with the brand name, but figued it was [inexpensive], and Amazon[.com] has a great return policy if not satisfied (Thank God) This thing is a total pile of [...] it looks, feels, and even smells cheap. So again back to you get what you pay for, I plugged it in and low and behold it had a black square about the size of a dime that would not go away, when I called Corn ea they told me they all LCD Monitors have some dead pixels, but mine was the size of a dime, and that most monitor and laptop companies will not let you return an item unless it has more than 12 dead pixels, again mine was the size of a dime and very noticable, and annoying. Needless to say, I returned the monitor to Amazon[.com], but I always hate re-packing the item up, and then having to go to the post office. But it went back, and I got a credit, I will ask the computer guy at work what he recomends and then come back and order a monitor from Amazon[.com] based on his recomendations.

Love this monitor, bought already 2 of them, am considering buying a 3rd. Since it is not such a well known brand name, you get a lot more for less money than with the big name brands.
The only critizism I have are the speakers. You have to invest in external speakers; the ones that come with the monitor are crappy. Other than that I give the monitor an A+.

Amazon delivered the monitor on schedule. The installation instuctions were simple and complete, basically plug and play. Resolution is excellent and as advertised. This is an attractive space saver over the old boxy monsters. [...]
