Summary: Good monitor but my laptop has better speakers
Review: I've got to admit that for the price, this monitor is fantastic. It is very bright, and adjusts well to different computers. One feature that isn't mentioned is that there are mounting points on the back to mount this to a wall. Not sure why you would want to, but you could nonetheless.The speakers do leave a little to be desired. I didn't use this monitor on my main multimedia computer, so sound wasn't an issue with me. Don't get me wrong, they aren't bad for things like email notifications or streaming news radio, but don't expect to listen to Mozart through them. One redeaming quality is that when you turn off the monitor, you are also turning off the speakers. This was something that bothered me about older monitors where there was no way to turn off the sound. The power uses a 3-leaf clover plug so be aware that replacements won't be as widely available as traditional computer power cables. Further, the included VGA cable isn't extremely short, but is a concern if you plan on locating your screen away from your computer. All in all, a good monitor for the price. I would not think twice about buying another one if I could afford it. LCD is so much easier on the eyes.

Summary: Fantastic Monitor
Review: I've tried several LCD monitors and this one is as good or better than most. User friendly display, EXCELLENT quality, color and contrast. ... I'm retired a 17" Sony Trinitron for this one. The viewable area is only 1/2" less but the resolution far exceeds the CRT. I give it 6 stars out of a possible 5. :-)

Summary: VERY slow refresh - not enough contrast
Review: I've used this for well over 20 days and am now returning it. The lag time from mouse click to view is slow and in some cases created almost sending wrong email to wrong addresses. I type over 200 wpm and found no problem with the type response, I expect something that at least can keep up with how fast I move a mouse - in selecting files, email, - this just doesn't work fast enough ... To keep the shadows down the brightness and contrast adjustments are not satisfactory - regardless of what was tried .... creates light and dark display areas in type - sometimes can't tell that a button is "click-able" because the contrast isn't great enough to distinquish the difference - always fuzzy type at top or bottom - which maybe would be eliminated if I didn't have to use the larger fonts - the smaller fonts are just not acceptable for reading ....
I wanted to go to a thin monitor to put it back further on the desk - raise the font size and help keep down eye tiredness from being right on top of the bulky crt monitor .... ....have been to Kogi's website and tried various suggestions (ie support) ....no help - just doesn't keep up with my computer speed. VERY nice looking unit - hate it didn't work for me - - don't know about the speakers - never did hook them up....
