Strength

huge, vibrant screen and three years warranty

Weakness

color banding and one bad pixel

Bottom Line

Summary

I was looking to replace a three year old 19" Dell UltraSharp LCD monitor, which was for a very long time the best rated LCD on the market. I believe it was made for Dell by Samsung. I like to play computer games from time to time, and I came to hate...

Strength

Great picture. Ultra-fast response rate.

Weakness

MagicTune calibration/control software doesn't work. Annoying bright LED.

Bottom Line

I don't believe there is a better 22" monitor for gaming on the market today. But the MagicTune software doesn't work on my computer.
