How good / bad is the Dell E176FP LCD panel?

[mshan]

Anyone now what panel is actually used in the Dell E176FP?

Also, is this a trouble free and reliable monitor or are there a lot of reports about problems? Any buzzing or humming or any abnormal noises?

And how good / bad is this monitor for general web surfing, dvd and hdtv viewing?

What kind of deal are you getting on this E176? From what I see online they are running about $250-$280. At that price, this monitor isn't too good of a deal. You can get a digital 19 inch UltraSharp (1905FP) for $313 dollars right now with free shipping, which is how much I paid for mine. IT has better video quality than the Analog E176 and also has USB ports on the side, which is very handy.

I kinda like the styling of the E176FP for my audio server computer.

I agree I wouldn't pay anywhere near that much for one of these, but was wondering how good they are if I found one real cheap.
