Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The reviews for this monitor on the net are all pretty much accurate, but there are a couple of things that you should be aware of...
---First The Bad Stuff---
1) Yes there is the dreaded "input lag" that you've read about in the other reviews. However from my personal (using my eyes) tests the effect can be lowered by plugging in your mouse into the monitor, and I've only noticed this while using my desktop, never when playing games, movies, or console's. And over time your mind gets used to the small amount of leftover lag. However in the first couple of days your mind will want to physically not move the mouse. I know it sounds wierd but it's sort of a side effect that you'll notice for a couple of days (in my case it was about three).
2) You see the pictures available of this monitor online? Well it does not go any lower than what you've seen on those pictures. This can be a problem for some people, but after my initial frustrations I remembered I could just press a button and my chair would get a bit taller. Problem solved!
---Now For The Good---
1) I do have legacy consoles that use 480p and I will be getting the Wii. And I have to say I am thoroughly impressed with how this thing scales these lower quality images. Before I was ticked about the quality, but then I tried it via my TV Tuner (PC) and the quality was about the same, but the quality is (of course) superior when going straight to the monitor than from the Tuner (Something my last edit of this review said oppositely). I had to screw around with the settings a bit and send the signal as a 4x3 or "full" depending on which system I was playing, but overall the quality was very good and playable, especially when you consider how many more pixels this things got than the normal CRT TV.
2) But I don't have a Xbox 360, so I can't test that out via component, but from what people say about the other 24'ers, you should use the Xbox 360 adapter to display via VGA and it should be much much better than through component. (Oh yeah, and the monitor will only accept up to 1080i video for VGA capable (and maybe even DVI) video game systems as it's maximum.)
3) This monitor has extremely great color and brightness after about 5 minutes of messing with the tuner program, and in my case I decided to stick with the default settings because they were already perfect in my opinion.
4) Absolutely NO-GHOSTING (Woo-Hoo!).
(Visibly at least, all LCD's have a teeny bit of ghosting when at 8ms or below, but it's only visible when you get above 12ms. As far as this monitor goes, I have not had any visible ghosting whatsoever.)
5) 1080p Video's will blow you away. But to get the full effect you should upgrade your speakers to some good 5.1 speakers (I purchased the wireless logitech ones at the same time, and I couldn't be happier).
6) This monitor takes over almost all of your periphial vision (your viewable eyespace), and the "WOW" affect lasts for at least three to four days.
7) This is by far the very best 24' monitor on the market right now when it comes to features and actually friggin' working correctly without a hideous array of problems plauging it.
8) My monitor came with absolutely no dead pixels and without any kind of blemishes. The box was also in pristine condition.
9) And as icing on the cake, this monitor is HDCP compatible through the DVI port.
So if your looking for a monitor for PC and all your video game consoles then you've found the right and only good solution out there for the 24' inch market as of writing.
