I bought the monitor, tried it but couldn't get a clear picture after trying a number of adjustments. I returned it, but the replacement was the same. Some of the lines seemed to not be displayed correctly - the bottom of the letters were slightly cut off. If I move the window up, then the line would appear correct (at a different position on the monitor), so it appears to be in the monitor, not in the image displayed. Also, there seemed to be a lot of inconsistent shadowing on characters. It gave me a headache even after trying it for a week or two. Bummer. The other ratings were high and the price was good.

I was one of those unfortunates who were lured into buying this monitor by the many glowing reviews here. I regret not having seeking opinions in a different way. The monitor is the worst I have ever seen. In fact, frankly speaking, I had not know how bad a monitor could be until I saw this one! I'll not bother to list all its defects since I have no time. Suffice to say, you have a good chance to have to return it if you buy it now. So think twice before ordering. Do you have the time to ship it back, then return a second one, and so on? I feel sorry for Amazon.com having to deal with many returns of this item. I wonder if it's Amazon.com or the manufacturer that loses. I suspect a good number of positive reviews here were written by....

My eyes were weeping constantly with the CRT array in front of me for endless hours. Bought the Cornea and immediately no weeping. I'm replacing all my monitors with LCD's immediately, and this is a financial strain for a start-up business.

The low price and high contrast ratio (500:1) attracted me to this monitor, but I'd have to say that it is not a very versatile monitor. It does graphics well enough, but text and small pictures are very blurry unless you have it set at the full 1280X1024, and anybody who can read anything on a monitor with that resolution should seek therapy. I tried it for a couple of days and it gave me headaches, words were so small I had to have my face 3 inches from the screen to read anything. I returned the monitor, I don't need anymore eye strain than I already get at work.

Poor display quality with annoying flickering and blured texts.
Also, why having the trouble for an monitor installation CD?
