(More customer reviews)UPDATED: June 20, 2009

I have to admit, I was a bit concerned about purchasing this online, virtually sight unseen.I went to Best Buy and saw the 20" version of this display and wasn't overly pleased, but then realized that the demo Best Buy had running on the monitor was not in the model's native resolution.So I came home and after a couple of days of deliberation with myself I took the plunge and bought this from Amazon.The display is a cinch to assemble.I've read some reviews where people have had great difficulty putting the stand together then attaching the stand to the monitor itself.This simply is not the case.Everything is keyed (all you have to do is pay attention to the carved out notches) and slid together very easily, no difficulty at all."Professional" reviews have indicated that the monitor is very wobbly.This is the case to an extent, but it takes a fair jolt to get this monitor to tip.In all practicality who is going to be hitting the monitor with their hand anyway trying to get it to tip over.Perhaps a good earthquake, a running child or clumsy oaf is needed.

Buyers will definitely want to take some time to calibrate the monitor.I am currently running Windows 7 RC1 so some calibration tools are included that don't come in previous versions of Windows (including Vista, that I have found anyway).A Google search for "monitor calibration" will help aid in this process."Professional" reviews have indicated that gray colors are not represented correctly, taking on a "yellowish hue."Out of the box using default settings this seemed to be the case (you'll see what I mean if you open a picture using Windows Photo Viewer, maximize the window and notice the color of the border surrounding the image), and using the monitor color profile that ships with the LCD (which Adobe Photoshop CS3 reports as being corrupted), but after customizing the monitor settings and getting a new color profile generated by Windows 7, this color turned from the "yellowish" hue to a light blue color as was displayed by my previous LCD (this of course is based on my current color scheme found in Windows 7).

Games play flawlessly, with good color, picture quality and vibrancy.No bleeding or blur with this 2ms response time display. The monitor includes presets for gaming, but if you calibrate the monitor properly this seems to be unneeded.Your mileage may vary depending on personal preference, but using in-game settings with brightness, contrast etc. can help get the job done.Games I tested in 1920x1080 were Crysis, the Half-Life 2 series, Far Cry 2, Unreal Tournament III, Stalker: Clear Sky, Street Fighter IV Benchmark (now available for download) and Bejeweled Twist.All played perfectly, again no blur or bleeding.I tested out a HD copy of "The Dark Knight" with no issues, perfect clarity in all respects.Some complaints (again from "professional" reviews) state that there is some white light bleed-through at the top edge of the screen on dark pictures.I found this to be very minor and not distracting at all.My desktop wallpaper images are native to 1920x1080 which is crisp and clear, so you'll probably want to find some HD or widescreen wallpapers for your viewing pleasure.

Settings for the monitor I have found to be optimal (at least for myself) are as follows:
Picture, Brightness: 50
Picture, Contrast: 76
Picture, Sharpness: 68
MagicBright: Custom
Response Time: Normal
Color, MagiColor: Off
Red: 50
Green: 50
Blue: 50:
Color Tone: Custom
Color Effect: Off
Gamma: Mode1

It may also be advantageous to use the ClearType technology built into Windows (MacOS probably has something similar), again personal preference so your mileage may vary.Windows 7 is a bit more extensive in customizing ClearType than prevoius versions of Windows.

I am very pleased with this monitor and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality display at a reasonable price.
