What's great about it: Picture, size, price, color, hdmi, tilt, swivel, etc.
What's not so great: No usb port, doesnt tilt very low.
This monitor is amazing, sweet glossy black on the front with 6 heat sensor touch buttons. Amazing stand, 2 circles with huge thick metal screws that wont rip from over swiviling or over tilting unless you intentionally try to, or you're just that strong. The back of it is a very rich white, just a beautiful eggshell, I wish the whole monitor was that way sometimes. VERY VERY THIN!
The picture is amazing, LED monitors are awesome, the response time is great aswell, for those of you that don't know what 2ms is, it's 2 milliseconds it takes to get picture from your device to the monitor. There's a couple 1ms out there but they're over $400. Other than that its 5ms typically.
24" seems a lot bigger than I thought. I don't even use my 42" for anything unless I'm with freinds/family I sit right here at my 24" and will hook anything, phone, ps3, 360, laptop, desktop, cable box up to it. It's phenomenal.
I love that it can swivel, that's a really cool feature I rarely see in monitors. Tilt is a must have, I don't like not having tilt. I slide down and get comfy in my chair at times, or stand up sometimes, or just sit facing forward. I do wish it could tilt down a little more, it tilts up just fine, but it doesn't get much more than parallel to my desk. I also wish it had a usb port for usb powered speakers, either that or built in speakers.
I highly highly highly recommend this!

What's great about it: Price, picture, design, features
What's not so great: It isn't free?
Very sexy looks, the controls are fairly easy to use and hardly needed to play around with them. The soft-touch "hidden" controls are nice and I wasn't aware that this is how the monitor is operated until I received it and pulled it out of the box. Going from a 17" 4:3 LCD to this is a HUGE upgrade. LED backlighting means excellent contrast ratios and deep blacks but the other colors are very rich, and natural. There are plenty of adjustments to accommodate any picture preferences. Quite frankly, I haven't played with most of the options on it. I'm using the HDMI input from my Radeon 4850's HDMI out and the included HDMI cable. I'm not concerned with the lack of speakers built-in as they are always a joke and I have a 5.1 setup connected so it'd be a waste anyway. For the price I paid, this is an outstanding deal. Gorgeous display and cabinet, and I like the stand as it's very easy to adjust viewing angle left to right on the swivel and has enough up/down tilt to suit most setups. Just a heads-up...the back is white, while the front is black. Looks great to me, but just don't be surprised if that throws off any design schemes you had going on with the rest of your hardware or decor.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Price, picture, size
What's not so great: Can't find anything.
I upgraded from a 15" flat panel from my older HP and I am very satisfied. The picture quality is awesome with a little tweaking of the settings. The color is very bright, there is no shadows or dead pixels. I couldn't be happier with this. I tried to do my research on all different models and brands. For the money this has been a very good investment. Some people complained about the on-screen controls but once you figure them out they are not hard to navigate. Also read that the stand wasn't to sturdy but I don't feel that away about it. Hasn't tipped at all despite being bumped a few times. It swivels nicely. There are no speakers on the monitor, but I wanted a nice set of speakers anyways so it wasn't an issue. Extremely happy with the product.
I would recommend this to a friend!
