      Still waiting for these to drop more... They make my 17" square look pretty small!

      Have one, it failed in a couple months then when I got it back from Viewsonic RMA repair, the DVI still didn't work. Yay for quality control! It's not the issue some reviewers mentioned where the DVI input switches to analog if the signal stops for a second, I had that problem initially every time the PC was rebooted but then this new problem arose with no signal on either input and no dvi ever after it was supposedly repaired.

      Picture is so-so, fairly good for a TN panel but nothing to get excited about either. No noticable banding or blurring when gaming and the dithering does reasonably well enough on movies/etc. A little light bleedthrough around the edges but nothing you can't get past. Colors seem slightly off but it's probably just an adjustment I never got around to doing.

      Doesn't come with a DVI cable, should've came with one instead of the analog. If it weren't for the problems I had, I'd have bought again at the price I paid but today larger panels have dropped enough that they seem a better value.
