Great as a monitor.

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Beautiful image.
Cons: Expensive (at least in India)!
Opinion:
I bought this panel for use as a monitor primarily and it doesn't disappoint. I sit about 2 meters away and I can comfortably read text for hours and not experience eye-strain afterwards. Web surfing and viewing HD web content points takes the experience to another level. Such HD monitors, coupled with a high speed internet connection are pointing the way towards the TV and PC converged world of tomorrow.

I have a HD-DVD player but am enjoying the monitor experience so much that I haven't even connected it! I'll leave that review to someone else.

The picture is as sharp as my Dell 2405FPW yet with better color rendition. I accidentally pushed it to an undocumented 1920x1200 on analog VGA and it actually synch'd up! - albeit slightly compressed as it's a native 16x9. Each input can be separately tweaked with a host of adjustments for color, brightness, contrast, black adjust, gamma, white balance, edge enhancement color space...the list goes on. Especially nice is the ability to adjust backlight intensity. Movies scale well from 480p or 720p sources with minimal artifacts after you tweak things a bit. Both DVD5 and DVD9 movies looked great sourced from an ... Read more
