    5 of 5 No complaints Monday, September 08, 2008
    Bill Meyer from The Villages, Florida  

    I've had this monitor now for about 8 months. It is great. Everyone that sees it is amazed by it's quality. I solved the fixed height issue by cutting a hole in my desk, and lowered the base so that the bottom of the nonitor now rests on the desktop (base is 5" below on an attached shelf). My wife was getting a stiff neck, but that solved the problem. I'm going to buy another one for my son.

    5 of 5 Best Value for Huge Monitor! Thursday, June 05, 2008
    A Customer from Brooklyn, NY  
    I had some reservations after reading the previous negative reviews but boy, am I wrong! Keep in mind that mine is a more recent review, so any old issues may have been fixed. I've also done extensive research (compared against other 24" and 28" monitors)before settling on this one based on value and performance. I am blown away by this monitor. This 28" is a replacement for a 19" ViewSonic monitor and it's so huge that my friends all think it's a normal HDTV! Fact is that it's so much better! The price point is excellent, the speed of the monitor (3ms) can't be beat, and the look of the monitor beats all the other monitors of all sizes out there! Buy.com Shipping was really fast! Incredible Brand NEW Monitor! I hooked it up to my laptop (through D-sub) and Xbox360 (through HDMI) and the quality (1080p) is just amazing! There were no dead pixels and I had no issues with the viewing angles. Comes with all the wires you need! Purely plug and play! Only annoyances are ease of use when adjusting the monitor sound volume and selecting the input. As the previous reviwer stated, there is no quick way to adjust sound volume or input other than through the control panel. There should be buttons for both features or a remote. Bottomline is that I fully recommend this monitor without hesitation!

    4 of 5 Huge Saturday, May 31, 2008
    A Customer from Canton, MI  
    Well, I bought this LCD panel about 2-3 weeks ago, and so far, its been great. Unfortunately, I got I stuck pixel just a couple days ago, but its been easy to ignore. The only bad thing about this is that there is no source button to change inputs quickly, however, I found that the speakers on the monitor are satisfying enough. I like the fact that they monitor has 7 different modes, such as Gaming, Cinema, Text, Standard... I have mine on text when I'm internet surfing, and then on standard with the highest brightness when I'm playing my halo. I was unhappy about the stuck pixel at first, but there's nothing I can do, so I'm not going to complain about it. The only other thing is that I wish the monitor was more widescreened. Like, it is widescreen now, but it looks more like a square box than what a widescreen looks like, either way, its great for 10809 or 720p movies !

    5 of 5 Beastly Thursday, May 15, 2008
    A Customer from Canton, MI  
    Okay, so as soon as I bought this monitor, I felt a little sad because it said it was a TN panel, and I didn't really want to have a low grade panel for a 27 in monitor. Turns out, I probably wouldn't have been able to tell the difference anyways. THe only bad thing about the monitor is that changing from input to input sucks. You have to go through the monitor control panel. There is no source button. besides that, no dead pixels, sleep mode works perfectly, and the 7 different modes of the monitor are the best. (no eye strains here).

    5 of 5 Great Monitor Saturday, May 10, 2008
    billgin1 from The Villages, FL  
    This is a great product. Fast and very good contrast. The only thing folks need to know, is when sitting on a standard computer desk, your neck can get stiff looking up(not adjustable). My wife hated it at first. I cut the rear part of the desk away the size of the base, and made a shelf below to support the base. The monitor bottom rests on the desk and the base is below 4 inches. The monitor center is now at eye level... we both enjoy it now.

    5 of 5 You will love it Saturday, March 22, 2008
    A Customer from New York  
    This is the second monitor of this model that I bought, I like it so much. The screen real estate is amazing, quality if just fine for my taste. It does have a slightly narrow vertical viewing angle which makes the top of the screen look darker sometimes, but the way I oriented the screen mu head never gets into that zone. The second monitor I ordered came with a dead pixel and the packaging looked like it was opened before, so I returned it and got a brand new one within 4 days.

    5 of 5 Fantastic monitor Sunday, January 13, 2008
    Jerry from Tucson, AZ  
    While I am sorry for the bad experience ScottG had with these monitors, I have to say that I have been very happy with mine. I have had a number of ViewSonic monitors and this is my best! It had no dead pixels and it provides a beautiful display at all normal viewing angles - no areas on the screen are different than others. When used with a HDTV tuner, the results are even better! I can see more detail than on my normal LCD HDTV in my entertainment center (and I thought it was about as good as it gets). All in all this is one great monitor. Gaming takes on a whole new experience. I also create a number of GUIs that communicate to each other over a couple of serial ports and having all this real estate makes it easy to put them both up on the screen at once. Like any product, sometimes you can be unlucky enough to get a lemon, but I have had only good experiences with this one.
