What's great about it: Fantastic image quality, overall beautiful Apple-like design
What's not so great: Connector space is cramped, had to exchange the first monitor
I have this monitor hooked to a PS3 (and soon a PS4) for playing online games, particularly first-person shooters. I’m impressed with the image quality - no motion blur and great contrast.
The screen is quite reflective, so make sure you place it where it will not be backlit by a window or other bright light source. While this can be a problem, the picture this type of screen provides is beautiful. However, an anti-reflective coating that many new laptops have would have helped reduce reflectiveness. The touch buttons on the side are very nice, and along with the overall design of monitor gives it a very Apple-like quality to the appearance. The menus are also easy to navigate and use to adjust settings.
The recess in the back for connections is a little tight. I had to bend the HDMI cable quite sharply to be able to plug it in. Pick up an HDMI port saver if you can get a cheap one, otherwise just be a little careful.
Unfortunately the first monitor I got developed a few dead pixels within a couple of days. I did not purchase it from Amazon, but I was able to easily exchange it for another monitor that has worked well with no dead pixels for the last few months.
Note that contrary to some sources, this is NOT an IPS monitor. However, for my purposes this is probably preferred, since the input lag time on many IPS monitors is well suited to gaming.
I would give this monitor 4.5 stars if I could, but because I can’t, I’ll give it 5 stars. At this price point, I feel the complaints I have are minor and do not warrant a 4 star review. If you want a great monitor for gaming or your computer and the reflectiveness won’t be a problem for you, I highly recommend this monitor.
This product has... Attractive design, Easy to setup, HDMI connection
About me... Photo/video enthusiast, Technology guru/developer, Gamer
I would recommend this to a friend!

If I purchase this online and do not like it, can I return it to a local Best Buy store?

Yep, I purchased mine online and had to exchange it at my local store due to some dead pixels. Was very easy to do, very little hassle.

If I am using an HDMI input, can I hook up an Xbox 360 to this monitor for gaming on?

Yes, I have a PS3 hooked up to this monitor, and an Xbox 360 would be no different.

Is it a IPS or TN LED monitor?

Is it a IPS or TN LED monitor?
TN LED backlit. However, it seems this is one of the upper end TN monitors. If you're looking at doing photography or design, then you may want to be sure to get an IPS monitor, otherwise this one should be fine.
