I have 3 of these, all displayed side by side and the simple matted bezel doesnt draw away attention from whats on the screen and i love that. My oldest monitor of the three has lasted 5+ years without any problems. The screen resolution (1680x1050) is a little awkward to find the best wallpaper suitable for its size but i dont think its much of a draw back. They're a bit heavy but then again, these monitors have been around for a long time so just dont expect these to be paper thin and light as a feather. they're bright enough for what i need them for (watching movies and gaming) and the response time is bareable; it's nothing i can notice. They've gone pretty cheap so its not a bad choice if you just wanted screen realestate for the buck. They dont have the ability to be viewed in portrait mode but thats not a big deal either. I'm satisfied with my purchases but i believe i will sell these eventually to buy another set of 3. These also have great thin bezels so its great displaying them side by side!!

I got this monitor when I bought my Dell Vostro 200 a couple of years ago, it came free with the computer. In fact I am using this monitor right now as I type this review. It has worked flawlessly since the day I got it. I turn it on and off multiple times a day, so that is thousands of uses and tens of thousands of hours being on. Over time a LCD will fade. The picture on this monitor has faded very little. The monitor menu has many options to adjust brightness, contrast and other internal settings. I only used it once to setup how I like and it has remained true ever since. It has a very nice tilt range, more than other monitors I use. It is also very stable no matter how you tilt it which can sometimes be a problem if you bump the desk and the monitor falls over. There is a convient cord coral built into the base so you can have the power and data cables going right out the back, out of the way.
