The resolution is not 1920 x 1200 as it is advertised.

The box says it's the correct model name and number. All of the specs are correct except that the box says the resolution is 1680 x 1050 and that is in fact what it was when I plugged it in and checked. In reading more of the product reviews I see complaints about this going back at least as far as November 2008 and as recently as a week ago. What the heck? I'm on the phone now with an Amazon customer service rep who is clearly overseas and I can barely hear him because the connection is so poor. He said that they'll take the product page down right away so no one else has the same problem. I find that hard to believe since this problem has apparently been happening for at least 4 months. He said they'll ship me another one right away but that's crazy; I don't want to just receive another one of the same. Note: For those of you who commented on other reviews that we as buyers should have known because no monitors under 24" have a 1920 x 1200 resolution, I can only reply that I'm typing this review on my 17" MacBook Pro which has a resolution of -- you guessed it -- 1920 x 1200.

Update: I've never seen a computer monitor with the color so far off out of the box. After running Mac's display color calibrator it's tolerable but not great. Additionally, if I'm looking at it with my head even a few inches off center (left/right) there is a significant shift in color. It's spooky to see the color shift from warm to cool by moving my head a couple inches. If I move my head up/down slightly from center there are significant shifts in contrast. This is definitely not a monitor you'd want to do any Photoshop work on.

Update: Amazon corrected the monitor resolution information so that it now reads correctly: 1680 x 1050

There is no tilt adjustment. I've never seen a monitor before that doesn't tilt.
