    Strengths: Easy set up; very sharp; relatively easy controls.Slick looking and so nice to not have to side scroll web pages.

    Weaknesses:Minor: Can't read the control icons w/o a flashlight.Major: It died or at least was mortally wounded...

    Overall Evaluation: This was my first LCD Flat Panel anything. Pretty excited. Set up very quickly and adjusted nicely. Great. Significant other having monitor envy - stuck back on her Samsung 997DF 19" CRT...About 10 days of use and suddenly the screen goes blotto. Don't have a better word (FUBAR?) - I could see the words and icons but everything was fuzzy and text went from barely legible black to various shades of gray.Tried Monitor self test that said it passed; tried analog cable and finally on 2nd computer. Same issue all around.RMA'd it back to BuyDig. So it is a test of on-line retailer as well as Samsung (whose CRT monitors have been great.One note: The shipping box the monitor came it - it was in a Samsung box)- was poorly packed: too little filler so the Samsung box could flop around inside. There was no visible damage.Rating will revised based on replacement...

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Nice size, super sharp text and fast response time. Looks nice as well

    Weaknesses:No HDMI and USB hubs; the auto-adjustment feature doesn't work accurately sometimes.

    Overall Evaluation: Though the auto-adjustment doesn't do a good consistently. However, you can always help it by maximize one of the windows. Apparently, it does help. Besides that, there's no other cons I am aware of. it's quite comparable to the EIZO that I used couple years ago in terms of view specification.

    Strengths: Great response time. Good handling of blacks and video. Sleek look with the black glossy stand and frame.

    Weaknesses:None yet. I haven't put it through any intensive gaming yet.

    Overall Evaluation: I recently got this monitor to replace my 19" Viewsonic was destroyed in an accident. It definitely is sharper and sleeker looking. I would definitely recommend this in the 22" LCD category.
