Great For Gaming, Great Price

LifesBane from USA

I'm definitely liking this monitor so far. Keep in mind this is my first foray into the LCD world recently though, so I don't have much to judge it against. I was previously using a 19" Samsung Syncmaster 997DF CRT monitor. ***Image Quality***: Games / HD videos look great on this. The colors are very bright and beautiful. I did change the default color setting of "Nature" over to "User" though... I preferred the latter setting a lot more. I tested it out with quite a few PC games last night (Left 4 Dead, Far Cry 2, Warhammer Online, Tabula Rasa, Unreal Tournament 3, Fallout 3), all at about max settings on my 8800GTX. The resolution was fully supported in each of the games (1920x1080), and there was no noticeable ghosting or input lag at all. Unreal Tournament 3 in particular was exceedingly immersive at the size and resolution this monitor is! I also hooked it up to my PS3 via HDMI. After re-adjusting the console to 1080p output, I noticed that the colors seemed to be a bit off at … Read more

Picture perfect

LadyKhrystal from Syracuse, NY

I was rather surprised with this product actually. It's a very low price and a very large screen and even though it's been getting rave reviews, I was worried because normally I find things to be rather "get what you paid for". Being such a low price, I was shocked to find that it is by all means the best monitor that I have ever had the experience of working with. I use the monitor mostly for gaming and art purposes, and it serves all my needs very well. We have it set up in our living room on my desk so if I want to watch a movie I can just pop a DVD into my computer and we can go from there. It also has all the inputs for hooking up things like Playstations so it can be used just like a TV monitor. Also be aware that the display is non-adjustable (or if it is, I haven't figured out how to do it yet :P) The only thing I have a concern about is the electrical whine that comes from it when it switches resolutions (for example when it adjusts the screen settings to play World of Warc … Read more

Excellent Monitor, Outstanding Value

Jakeywakes from Tyler, TX

I got this for Christmas, after picking it out in-store. I thought it looked like a lot of monitor for a low price, so I was naturally skeptical of it, and not only because I hadn't hardly heard of Hannspree. Turns out, however, that I couldn't have gotten a better deal! Make no mistake, this is a real monster. It's massive! While that's impressive on its own, there's more to this monitor than size: It's clear, I don't have a single dead pixel, and the colors are so vibrant they sometimes hurt my eyes! Yes, you will probably have to change the presets, most notably the brightness (if you can stand to watch THIS thing at 100% brightness, you should be a solar physicist), the contrast, and especially, the mode (it comes preset in TV mode, not PC, though that's easy enough to fix). I watched a 1080p BluRay movie yesterday, and it performed perfectly on this monitor, with no blurring or square pixels like you find on lesser ones. This is one superb bit of hardware! I concur with other revi … Read more

Great Monitor at a Great Price

DugFreez from Ripley, OH

I just picked up this monitor on sale, and I really can't imagine being much happier with it. I was upgrading from a 19" 4:3 monitor and the difference makes it feel like I have a duel display setup now. The difference in desktop size is incredible. I was also afraid that the upgrade from 1024x768 (what I used my old monitor at) to 1920x1080 would make all of my PC's icons and text small and hard to read. Surprisingly I didn't have to make any adjustments. I hooked up the monitor, changed to 1920 x 1080 and everything automatically adjusted accordingly (with a lot more desktop space). I tried it with my Xbox 360 via VGA, PS3 via HDMI and now with my PC via VGA. The picture quality is stunning on all 3 systems. I didn't have to make any adjustments (other than resolution) with any of them either. They all displayed at 1920 x 1080 with no over or under scan. The picture looks great and fits perfectly. My only minor complaints are, as others have stated the stand is a little flimsy feel … Read more

Great Monitor- Great Value - wobbly stand

djgizmo from Tampa

Great value for the price. I had a $25 gift card I'd been saving for a while and my 22" monitor just died and had to be sent back to factory for rma. I found this online and went and picked it up. Unpacked it, set it on the stand, and definitely notice the wobbly stand. (even my other 22" monitor had a better stand.) Nice vivid colors, great viewing angles as stated in specs. INCLUDES HDMI to DVI cable. I did not like that out of the box, the viewing display properties are not set correctly from factory. You need to go into the OSD (on screen display) menu and change display type from video to PC. Next I noticed that the screen to go corner to corner. Very odd for me. I had to use my nvdia display control panel to pull the corners to where they needed to be. This was not stretching out the picture, but basically telling the monitor where the black began and the display of the desktop started. Overall I'm happy with my purchase. As long as you're not bouncing up and down, this monito … Read more
