I chose this monitor for my DH, who is a big gaming geek, after doing a lot of research. To keep a long review short, it is an excellent value for the price, and offers several features that aren't found very often until you hit a higher price point. DH is very happy with it, and although I'm not a big tech geek, he is to the point that he built his last 3 computers, and won't keep one for more than 2 years.
