Pros:
|
2ms response time, HDCP support, size, 2 types of input, aspect(True widescreen)
|
|
Cons:
|
No vertical adjustment, pixel pitch isn't quite as small as i would have liked.
|
|
Pros: Very large monitor, was a little larger than I was expecting, but that's always a good thing.  Colors seem to be true, this is important for me as I do lots of graphic design. Being wide-screen also has it's advantages because now I have a lot more workspace than before with my old CTX 17" CRT monitor. Finally able to use my DVI connector on my video card! xD I see no ghosting on my screen when playing video games such as CoD4, FEAR, or Crysis. Great gloss black finish, attracts fingerprints and dust but that's cleanable
Cons: SPLENDID options were pretty much useless, I had to manually set everything from brightness to color temp. This normally not being the case mine came with 1 stuck pixel. Attempted to rejuvenate it and it only ended up creating another stuck pixel. If they don't do what they are supposed to they might as well be dead. Newegg's "8 dead pixels minimum" policy is what's keeping me from RMA'ing this. Some back-light bleeding but only noticeable while all black and even then not a big deal.
All in all a superb monitor that I would recommend to anyone. I use this both for what would be office use and gaming and it does both very well. Great bang for your buck. I give this a 9 because of the stuck pixel.

Pros:
|
22", 2ms response, lots of preset video settings,crisp picture, easy to set up, looks nice, widescreen, came with all necessary cables.
|
|
Cons:
|
No height adjustment, the DVI cable was short, the user manual just sucks has almost no useful information like care instructions,
|
|
For the price this monitor is awesome. Looks good, games great no ghosting whatsoever (was a main concern for me), while for the most part the picture quality is crisp, small text can be slighlty fuzzy around the edges. The color quality and saturation is great. And with all the presets, switching modes is very easy for what youre using it for, wether it be gaming or watching a movie. With that said, there might need to be some software tweaks in apps such as NDVD, nothing major just adjusting brightness levels, to get it to look right.
Also, the manual just sucks. Its a quick start guide. Even though its over a 1/4" thick it doesnt have any care instructions and such. But I can tell you how to set it up in about 50 different languages.

Pros:
|
Good colour balance, simple looks, easy to configure, came with high quality cables, reputable brand.
|
|
Cons:
|
Little backlight bleed from bottom of screen, limited adjustability of stand.
|
|
Thouroughly satisfied with my first 22" monitor.
Simple, elegant and finished looks compliment any desk.
Would definitely buy again. And again, and again...
NOTE: The backlight does shift a little toward the bottom of the screen, but isn't very noticeable, except on dark backgrounds.
Also, the ASCR option [Menu > Image] is rubbish. It should brighten the backlight when images get dark, and lower it when they get bright [to be easy on the eyes], not the other way around!
VERDICT: Good buy, go for it.
