Does anyone own this monitor? If so, please provide me with your feedback.

Thanks.

I had one for a bit.

Overall, it's not bad.

Pros: Glossy screen, good response time, good contrast, nice colors, great blacks for an LCD.
Cons: Glare/reflection (from glossy screen), poor vertical viewing angles - TN panel, no height adjustment, kinda cheapy feel.

The lack of height adjustment turned out being the deal breaker for me. With the extremely poor viewing angles, it would be nice to be able to adjust the screen a bit more instead of having to find the optimal angle by changing your position.

I just got one and I'm pretty happy with it.

Glossy screen is extremely reflective, any light source behind you WILL be visible on the screen. Avoid having a light source behind you and you're fine. I really like the brighter, clearer colors etc. that the glossy screen provides.

Other than the love it or hate it screen, everything else is great. HDMI input and built in speakers (which aren't bad for built-in) make it very convenient to connect my PS3 on occasion. I like the overall appearance and style of the monitor too.

Blows away my old Dell 22", both in picture quality and the fact that the Dell would faintly buzz and chirp when not in use unless I unplugged the power cable.
