this monitor is kinda crappy. I've had two of them, both times there were numerous dead pixels. For computing, picture quality sux.
FWIW, spend a little more on a 15in Envision (when they are on sale and heavily rebated)
Ironically, if you hook it up to a viewsonic TV tuner box, and set it up for 1024x768, it looks pretty damn good. I've been using one as a mobile entertainment system in my van, along with the viewsonic TV tuner and an old hot deal Lasonic portable DVD player.
