A pleasure to look at
By Professor
I had two 20" Sony Trinitrons on my computers. Finally decided to go flat panel. I did a lot of research and the numbers on this monitor were better than most --- it is brighter (250 lumins), wider viewing area (170 degrees), and a faster screen update speed (25ms). I saw it in the store and it just looked better than the others to me. Of course, it's hard to find a store that allows you to make a good comparison. Most stores don't even know enough to run LCD monitors at their correct resolution. My main concern was how it would perform with fast action games. At first, I noticed just a slight amount of blurring (compared to CRT monitors) when the entire screen was shifting fast, but I got used to it quickly. I don't feel that it is noticable anymore. Of course there's no blurring with movies. I'm using an analog video card (Voodoo 4) and it is working perfectly - no text ghosting or anything. When I first connected the monitor, I got no picture, then remembered that it must be refreshed between 60 and 75 Hz. I changed the video to refresh at 60 Hz and the screen was a little funny. Don't know how to describe it, but it reminded me of a CRT monitor in interlaced mode. When I changed the refresh to 75 Hz, it gave me a perfect picture. I highly recommend this monitor (and I'm very picky). No dead pixels. I like the larger 19" size - I run it at the 1280x1024 with the default normal size fonts on XP. No more screen flicker. No more electron guns beaming radiation at your eyes. Update Aug. 2004: This monitor has been on about 8 hours per day since I purchased it 2 years ago and it is still flawless. When purchasing a flatpanel monitor, be sure to look at the contrast ratio. A 500:1 contrast ratio means that white is 500 times brighter than black. A poor contrast ratio means the black pixels on the screen are partially illuminated.

By B. Lemons
I ordered it two days ago and, much to my surprise, it was delivered today (I used the super saver shipping, not bad: two days for free shipping). After the last 6 years with a 17" CRT, I thought I was ready to move on. I'm happy with the reclaimed desk space AND the bigger screen size.
Right out of the box, I plugged it in and started to work. However, everything was pretty blurry and low quality. After going through most of the setting of both my video adapter and the monitor itself, I realised the problem. I have an old PC set up next to my current PC and I have a cheap monitor/mouse/keyboard switch that I use so I don't have to have two of everything. This monitor did not like that switch. When I plugged it in directly to the PC, it worked like a charm.
It's clear, big, bright and beautiful. I've watched a DVD and it looked great (I don't normally do this from my computer, but I did to test out the new monitor). I don't game, so I can't say what action games will look like.
I like it and would recommend getting one if you're due for a replacement like I was.

Sharp and Clear Text, Beautiful Digital Picture
By A Customer
The analog connection is ok but text is fuzzy. The digital connection is FAR superior. Please use the digital connection only if you buy this LCD. Even though it is .29mm dot pitch, it looks amazingly sharp in digital. The text on the screen is amazingly clear and readable. You will have no problems with viewing angles. This LCD is brighter than my old 21" monitor. In fact it is almost too bright for nighttime lights off usage.
DVD movies look superb. Computer games show very slight ghosting but not enough to affect your gameplay.
No sound built in, but that's why I have my existing subwoofer and speakers for.
The casing has a lazy susan at the bottom so you can spin it around, and you can tilt it to suit your height.
Buy it, you won't regret it.
