Even with the monitor off, its looks are appealing. Everything is easy to access, and all cables are detachable. Like most 19 monitors, the footprint and weight could be a concern if you are limited on space. Overall geometry is good, although expect to tweak the OSD settings a bit to get it to look just right . Convergence is also good.
Picture quality is excellent.
Colors are vibrant and graphic images are top-notch. The text on this monitor is very crisp, even at small font sizes. Text is one of the qualities that I am most pleased with, it has exceeded my expectations and is by far the best text on a monitor I have ever seen. Everything about this monitor screams quality. You may be thinking, this sounds like some sort of gimmick to sell more units.
