      Very good quality monitor. Still kinda pricey. If you want quality then pay the price. If you just need one then save 200 bucks and get a cheaper one.

      Forget it. You can get an HDTV for not much more that might double as a monitor. Tenth post, I think. Maybe one more for good measure. Now where's that contest?

      cost twice as much as 22" monitors, 24-inches need to get cheaper. however, this one has component and a whole load of other inputs if that's necessary for you. but chimei also has a 22-inch with component. like voltaire said, it might be a better deal to get a 1080p hdtv.

      This is supposedly a higher quality panel. Not the typical shitpiss TN panel that sells for dirt cheap nowadays. All you low standard buttmunchers (#4 and #6) should just stick with the cheap stuff.

      Yeah, seems kinda pricey. 22" seems like the sweet price point right now.

      Good quality. I've had the 22 inches for almost a year. No complaints.

      #7 is right. This is a higher quality panel. This will display 110% of the CIE 1976 color gamut (as opposed to the typical 72% of cheaper displays).

      I own one. The image is very sharp and I feel was worth the money (photography hobbiest). This display is not for everybody as a cheaper TN panel would be fine for most people.

      There have been complaints about input lag. I havent gamed on my PC in a long time (been using consoles for that) and certainly havent done it since I got the display so I cant comment on that. As for normal usage, I can barely notice a lag if I really, really look for it (to the point where I think my eyes are just making it up). Basically, if youre a serious gamer, you probably think the compromise for a speedier TN panel is worth the win.

      I've got the '05 version (2405WFP) and love it! The card reader is handy as is the 4 USB ports. You might get the card reader on a TV, but I doubt the USB ports. It does get pretty warm.

      with 42 inch TVs dropping to under 600 in this current bad economy, this is not a deal.
      Dell has this price in september

      All those people who talk bad about this can go blow yourself. You guys go and buy your Ford Pinto and use that. The rest of us who about about quality will be much happy with this one.

      If you are talking about picture quality, yeah this monitor is nice. If you take input lag into account then this monitor costs too much. I have one, i didnt find out about input lag until after i made the purchase. There are quality TN panels out there with decent color accuracy. They aren't very cheap, but you dont need to put up with input lag.

      Bad economy #15? I'm still making good money. My neighbors seem to be doing fine too. And there isn't a home for sale within 3 blocks of where I live. I'm beginning to believe this whole economy thing is a myth that was hyped by our media friends to get you-know-who elected.

      I'd rather have BenQ's FP241VW...oh, wait, I already do. BTW, it sells for $70 less than this.
