I bought this monitor on sale at WalMart last year, mostly because I simply needed to replace an aging CRT, and wanted to take advantage of the DVI output from my GeForce video card. Plus it IS digital LCD and very thin/lighweight, all a plus to me. Right out of the box, it worked great for me! No dead pixels, no screen distortions, no color problems, just nothing wrong with it at all. And for right @ $300(which BTW included a $50 value DVI cable...), I almost expected it to. It has very good true colors, good sharpness/clarity, and most surprising to me, especially as I wasn't even interested in response times since I do practically no gaming, a very fast 10ms(rated) response time. Response time is the measurement it takes for a color pixel to 'twist' itself to another color. Obviously, the slower the reponse time, the more apt you may see blurring, streaks or other aberrations in high-demand video applications. This monitor has never exhibited any such behavior, and I regularly run DVD's and Windows Media files in full-screen true-color(32bit) @ 1280x1024 resolution. In summary, I guess I can't say enough about how satisfied I am with this monitor(and no, I don't work for WalMart or Balance Digital - now known as IC Power), and I highly recommend it for a great monitor upgrade/replacement. Last I checked they are listing @ WalMart for $269.00 as of 4/21/06. Get yours now!! :-)
UPDATED 3/2/08 -
Not sure who copied/pasted part of my review below, but my monitor is still working fine and going strong! It sure has been a good value, though seems to be unavailable anymore. If you need a nice, cheap LCD monitor, don't hesitate to pick one up, should one become available! Oh, and just to avoid any possible problems from age/abuse, I'd recommend buying only a new in box unit, ok? Good luck! :-)
