Pros: Cheap, Lightweight, great resolution, brigth picture, DVI and VGA. I saw other people saying the stand was really weak. I had problems with mine what so ever. I bought this for my dad’s computer I built him. Nice and lightweight, no heavy lifting. Your grandma could life this thing one handed.
Cons: Nothing really besides no DVI cable included and you occasionally have to hit the auto adjust button which switching back and forth between resolutions (i.e. from your desktop to a game)
Other Thoughts: Perfect entry level lcd wide screen display. Easy to use and install. connectors are relativly easy to get to. Very bright and vibrant. Little worried about Hann’s G, because I never heard of them before, but so far so good

Pros: I have the 5ms version of this monitor which is the exact same thing except 3 lower ms. The Picture is extremely clear and bright. No Ghosting at all. AWESOME for the price.
Cons: The Base isn’t the most sturdy thing but what can you expect for this cheap. 8MS response time, but just think theres 1000 Milliseconds in one second. 3/1000’s of a second isn’t going to be noticeble at all lol.
Other Thoughts: As stated most response time under about 20 isn’t going to feel much different. a 19 inch widescreen that looks this beautiful for this price? A steal.

Pros: WOW! i can not belive the quality of this monitor for the money spent! I just replaced my bulky CRT monitor wth this one and I am HAPPY!! so HAPPY!! Beautiful bright picture works great for my gaming and takes up very little space! people were commenting on the stand being unstable but I am not having any problems with it at all. Wonderful monitor!
Cons: None!

Pros: PRICE, display, ease of setup.
Cons: On-screen menu
Other Thoughts: This monitor has exceeded my expectations for it’s cost. Clear, crisp and bright… and that’s with the VGA cable. Can’t wait to try it with DVI. There is no height adjustment, well at least not on mine… just tilt. It seems stable enough to me, just squeeze the 2 tabs when putting on the base and it’s is not in issue. But the on-screen menu controls leave a bit to be desired, just not real intuitive. I kept hitting the “auto set” when I was trying to navigate back to the menu options. Once I even hit the power switch. No big deal really, how often does one really need access to them anyway? I have to give a big “thumbs up” to Newegg. 3 business day shipping?… I got it a day and a half after ordering it. I would highly recommend this lil’ 17″, not many wide screens this size with it’s resolution options. PS. I’m using it on an Intel iMac, works just fine for me as a second monitor in extended desktop mode.
