Strengths:Dual Analog/Digital signal inputs, 4-preset contrast/brightness toggle button on monitor, Excellent picture quality, 16.7 Million true 24-bit colors (no dithering) and a 12ms response time!
Weaknesses:Monitor stand is very easy to adjust, but vibrates slightly while typing. Natural Color and Magic Tune software included, initially great, then became useless and irritatiing (so I removed them).
Posted Aug 2, 2004 - This is an outstanding monitor, a lesser known but feature-packed alternative to the pricey 173P. It has everything that you might want in a quality flat-screen: easy adjustability, unbelievably wide viewing angle, vivid colors on a bright screen, analog and DVI inputs (with cables!), easy to use on-screen controls, 4-setting preset toggle for easy adjustment without having to negotiate software, source button for toggling between simultaneous inputs (i.e. two PC's connected to the same monitor), and fast 12ms response time. Note: the refresh rate at the reccomended resolution (1280 x 1024) is 75Hz in analog, but only 60Hz in digital mode. You should use a flat screen in its native resolution, but this monitor seems to handle lesser resolutions quite well for applications and RPG's(though I wouldn't watch a DVD on it in 1024 x 768!). Also the picture is incorrect! It actually has a triangular base, which looks and works much better than the style pictured.
