very nice looking and great finish!! Matte screen reduces reflection.

quite thin..
The quality of the bundled VGA cable jack is not that good.. feels quite light and fragile..

It goes very well with my black Gamma!!

ignore my ghetto table..
now, right out of the box, the picture is brighter than my liking and not suitable for photo editing.... needed some Calibration asap
IMO, this site is the best for screen calibration without using any dedicated tools.. LCD monitor test images
now, it wont make your monitor a 100% equal to sRGB specs, it cant unless your monitor is sRGB certified, but it'll take you close.
After completing the calibration, I loaded up Photoshop and did some editing.. Colors are Okay, but not as great as my good ol' LG CRT... I need to do some Color Profile customisation inside PS.
Pros:
1. Great Bang for Buck. Considering the price, its a steal compared to its nearby competition..
2. Great finish.
Cons:
1. Should come with DVI cable. Its a pain in the a** to buy an extra cable.
2. Base plate is very Light. Should have been heavier.
