    I couldnt find a review on this product so I decided to write my own.

    I purchased the monitor through bestbuy for 299.99.

    On first inspection I was in awe. I found myself really in love for the first time... The monitor looks well designed and big. After hooking it up with provided AGP cord (wich was a snap), I imedialty noticed how crisp and clear the images/video were. Native resolution is 1400 x 900. My desktop looks hugs now!

    Gaming on this beast was great. Even though the lcd only has a 8 ms refresh rate no ghosting is noticeable during video or gaming apps. Some games have widescreen options.
    Included in games like Halfe Life 2 widescreen format makes you feel like your in a theater when playing. Couple this with a 5.1+ sound system and you've got the ultimate home gaming theater. For gaming you'll need a good video card, I have a ATI Radeon 9600xt.

    I did have to adjust the "phase" option though because there was a slight bluring of the text in the middle of the screen(wich can be seen on many types of lcd monitors). The buttons are small but easy to access hidden away on the right back side of the unit.

    Over all, I was very impressed
