In conclusion, this is the coolest monitor I’ve had the pleasure of using. I’m not just saying that because it’s the one I own, I’m saying that because it’s the truth. Afterall, wouldn’t you expect me to purchase the best one for the money? I think that alone says a lot.. I shelled out nearly $400 for this sucker, and I’m extremely happy I did. Another perk about this monitor is the fact it has a 3-year manufacturers warranty, so if anytime between now and the end of 2009, should this monitor give me any problems, I can get a new one (or get it fixed, which is unlikely), assuming I don’t drop it or hit it with a wet baseball bat.

As far as looks and adjustments go, this thing has it covered in all the spots, except for pivoting. To hell with pivoting, I say. If you want to turn it sideways, you can always physically put it on its side, which I don’t think would hurt it, as it’s pretty well-made. The software-related features are really good, too. You can change how the picture looks a bunch of different ways, and you can make the screen perfectly auto-adjust to fill out your monitor flawlessly. The screen’s viewing angle is great too, only drastically changing colors after about 30 degrees, and ever then, all text is still quite readable. The pixel size is a bit large, but doesn’t seem to detract from the over-all clarity. As far as brightness goes, this monitor is plenty bright enough, and contrast, if a 700:1 ratio is good enough for you (it’s plenty for me) then it’s absolutely great. If you’re in the market for a big, widescreen monitor, and you think 22″ will be big enough, then I’d say you should maybe consider getting then one. The backlight bleeding on this thing is just horrid, though, so I’m not going to be able to give it anything more than an 8.5/10.

If you have any feedback regarding this review, let me know. Seriously. If you loved it, let me know. Even more importantly, if you hated it, let me know why. Thanks!
