Awesome! Great monitor for gaming&entertainment, not only for PC games but for console playing also since it has HDMI port, great 2ms response and integrated stereo audio. It is not expensive,and yet you get so much for your money. Design is simply stunning with its glossy finishing - it looks great both from the front and back. Subtle yet classy. Smart image function allows you to set your preferences accordingly to what you are doing at the moment - either playing games, typing, viewing images... It has 2 USB ports - upstream and downstream. Headset in is very accesible - it is placed on...

Awesome! Great monitor for gaming&entertainment, not only for PC games but for console playing also since it has HDMI port, great 2ms response and integrated stereo audio. It is not expensive,and yet you get so much for your money. Design is simply stunning with its glossy finishing - it looks great both from the front and back. Subtle yet classy. Smart image function allows you to set your preferences accordingly to what you are doing at the moment - either playing games, typing, viewing images... It has 2 USB ports - upstream and downstream. Headset in is very accesible - it is placed on the bottom left corner of the monitor (it has only in for the headphones, not for the microphone as well unfortenately). Central LED light which glows all the time when monitor is on and blink when it is in sleep mode, which can be annoying at times, can be turned off, or adjusted to glow more or less brightly. The few things that annoy me with this monitor is its poor adjustability - it can not be mounted on the wall. Also it is not pivotable - it can not be pivoted left or right - just up and down. So, ergonomy is not the strongest side of this one. One more thing - you can set speaker volume from 0-100 interval which is normal, but once you set the preffered volume it stays set only until you dont turn off either monitor, either your PC, either one of the auxiliary sources (PS3 console in my case); once you turn on the monitor again, speaker volume resets to its factory default which is 80. So far those are the only things I found to be non perfect about this monitor . Anyway, I would certainly recommend everyone who seeks for a big widescreen monitor to get this one 'cause it will suit all of your needs. I think this is probably one of the monitors which has the bast proportion money:value. Once again: AWESOME!
