This display is excellent! Not only can I hook up my Macbook Pro, but I can also have my 360 plugged in at the same time for 1080p gaming glory! Color and contrast are great in my opinion, and I love the fact that I can adjust it however I need to, so when I slouch I can still see the screen. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the touch controls that everyone else mentions. They are impossible to see without direct light, however, once you get the settings right, it's easy to memorize where the power and volume buttons are. Great display at a great price!

There is a TON you could write about this monitor...but for the sake of endless paragraphs I will sum it up like this: this monitor is absolutely dollar for dollar the best monitor on the market right now (remember...technology changes quickly), and it's built for the future with HDMI & D-Sub. The picture simply can't be put into words - it's absolutely beautiful. Bright (but doesn't burn your cornea's), clear & rich. Motion, even during the fastest scenes of a movie or game (again remember....some of this has to do with your own pc & it's video card and processor) is FLAWLESS.

Net net is that you get a monitor that delivers the performance, looks & reliability of a super high end monitor for a mid range price.

If you're in the market for a top end monitor from the leader in LCD's (Viewsonic / Nokia etc would be in the CRT...Read more

I bought this item from BB on sale for $450 (also managed to get them to give me 10% off with a coupon that didn't specify monitors). I love amazon and bought my Samsung TV from them (no one could touch their price) but with monitors and hearing about so many dead pixel issues, I like buying from the store (have had 2 LCDs and never had a dead pixel though). This monitor blows away my old Sony 19 inch LCD, which only had a 500-1 contrast but the same brightness (and it cost $550 when I bought it). If you are looking to upgrade from a 19 inch non 16-10 ration screen, a 22 inch just isn't that big of an upgrade, go with a 24 inch, you will not regret it. This monitor is super bright which is great for games, but a little too bright for regular activities (just needs to be tuned down). No ghosting in any of the games I have played and no blurred text issues, great out of the box. Software doesn't really work with Vista 64 though (monitor still works fine). any adjustment you can...Read more
