Summary: Solid mid-range monitor with dim/weak colors
Review: Overall a very solid mid-range monitor, I would recommend it to anyone who isn't worried about the brightness or color-correctness of the picture. However, I am very picky and ended up returning it and buying a high-end monitor. Pros:
-Passed all geometry tests with flying colors.
-Text is very readable in 1280x1024 (10 point Arial and Windows 2000 default fonts).
-Absolutely silent changing resolutions (no annoying clicking). Cons:
-Text/folders in Windows explorer get a little hard to read in 1600x1200.
-Black text on white is greyish, not truly black.
-Green is a little weak (too yellow).
-Picture is not very bright, colors seem dim and stale, especially browns look washed out in OpenGL games
-No amount of adjusting will correct the above.
-75hz refresh has noticeable flicker for me, so the 1600x1200 mode while it looked OK wasn't really useable for me at the max of 75hz. P.S. If you find this review helpful please post one of your own on whatever HW you buy to keep the "system" working- thanks.
