I simply could not find anything of this quality and resolution at this price. I consider this one of the best non-rebate deals at Tiger Direct. The only con I could find is that the screen doesn't seem to tilt. I am recommending this to anyone who will listen.

Got this monitor about 3 months ago. Very nice, exactly as I expected, no dead pixels. It's wide/rectangle not square. I did want a square monitor but not a big deal. As for those who complain about the button placement, it's not a big deal, they're nitpicking. Stay away from sceptre ''THEY ARE JUNK'', get an acer affiliated with Gateway. Tiger is great.

I love the realestate that I gained with this monitor. I went from an old 17'' crt to this 19'' widescreen. The picture is amazing. I can't complain about the price either.

The LCD monitor is great on the eyes. Provides clear and easy readible print and great looks images as well. It was agreat price, runs cooler then those old big things that took up more spce then a semi. I and my wife have more space at our desk, relaxed unstrained eyes, and cheaper electrical cost. A great monitor I would recomend for anyone on a low budget.

I have had this monitor for two weeks and I am totally satisfied with it. The color and sharpness are excellent. I was expecting to find the normal minimun of 1 dead pixel, and was shocked to find that there is not one dead pixel on the screen.
DVI: Digital Visual Interface! What
Is It?
The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is a
video interface standard designed to maximize the visual quality of digital
display devices such as flat panel LCD computer displays and digital
projectors. It was developed by an industry consortium, the Digital Display
Working Group (DDWG). It is designed for carrying uncompressed digital video
data to a compatible monitor or projector, and is partially compatible with
the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) standard in digital mode (DVI-D).
DVI represents a major improvement in image quality over the older VGA
standard.
The DVI interface uses a digital protocol
in which the desired illumination of pixels is transmitted as binary data.
When the display is driven at its native resolution, it will read each
number and apply that brightness to the appropriate pixel. In this way, each
pixel in the output buffer of the source device corresponds directly to one
pixel in the display device, whereas with an analog signal the appearance of
each pixel may be affected by its adjacent pixels as well as by electrical
noise and other forms of analog distortion.
Previous standards such as the analog VGA were designed for CRT-based
devices and thus did not use discrete time display addressing. As the analog
source transmits each horizontal line of the image, it varies its output
voltage to represent the desired brightness. In a CRT device, this is used
to vary the intensity of the scanning beam as it moves across the screen.
The two types of DVI interfaces are Single
Link and Dual Link. Following are the features and benefits of each:
Single Link - The Single Link interface is limited to a maximum pixel
clock of 165 Hz. It uses four (4) twisted pairs of wires (one each of Red,
Green, Blue and Clock). Maximum resolution is 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz.
Dual Link - The Dual Link interface is most common for today’s modern
LCD monitors. It provides three times as many pixels as the Single Link
interface. And its maximum clock may exceed 165 Hz. Dual Link uses six (6)
twisted pairs wires with two (2) each for Red, Green, and Blue, as well as
on pair for Clock. Dual Link’s maximum resolution is 2560 x 1600 at 60Hz.
When you use the Dual Link Interface you can use a longer cable because of
its higher bandwidth. Dual Link also provides HDCP support, which is
required for Blu-Ray playback.
What Is A
VESA Mount?
A VESA mount is one that has been designed to be compatible with the Flat
Display Mounting Interface (FDMI) Standard. The standard defines all
aspects of the mount dimensions and characteristics, to assure full
compatibility between compliant TV manufacturers and the manufacturers of
compliant or certified mounting hardware.
Remember, if you are looking to mount your monitor or TV on a VESA compatible mount or stand, check the individual product specificiations to make sure it is a VESA Mount compatible device!

for the PC, workstation, and consumer electronics industries. VESA promotes

TechTip:
Cleaning Your LCD Monitor or TV
Now that you have your new LCD Monitor or Widescreen TV, it is important to
use the right products to clean it. The wrong cleaner can damage the
surface of your display. However, there are many new cleaning products on the market designed especially for
LCD displays. We recommend using a soft, lint-free cloth and a special LCD
cleaner. (You can also use a cleaner that
contains any of the following: Water, Vinegar (mixed with water), or Isopropyl alcohol). BUT Do Not Use cleaners that contain any of the following agents: Acetone, Ethyl alcohol, Ethyl acid, Ammonia, Methyl chloride!
Important:
Do not spray any liquids directly on the LCD screen. Always apply the
solution to your cloth first, not directly to the parts you are cleaning.
Always use a soft cotton cloth. Some materials, such as paper towels or old
rags can cause scratches and damage the LCD screen.

LCD Technology: Response Time - Enabling
crisp full-motion video
With the recent widespread use of PC and online games, and PCs equipped with
DVD drives give users more opportunities to see moving images such as those
in 3D games or action movies on screen. This increase in motion picture
content means computer monitors must be able to display not only still
images, but moving ones as well. Manufacturers and IT publications often
cite a fast response time as an indication that a display can play videos or
games with little or no blurring. Hence, we would like to share with you
what response time is, and how helpful it is in determining how well an LCD
display (TV or Monitor) can portray moving images.

What Is DDC2B?
The Display Data Channel or DDC is a digital connection between a computer
display and a graphics adapter that allows the display to communicate its
specifications to the adapter. The standard was created by the Video
Electronics Standards Association (VESA). The purpose of this standard
is to define a communications channel between an electronic display (e.g.
CRT, LCD, etc. displays) and a host system. The channel may be used to carry
configuration information to enable ‘plug & play’ and allow optimum use of
the display. The channel may also carry display control information.
Today’s computing and consumer electronic
environments demands that systems offer user-friendly set-up. With the
growing popularity of intuitive and simpler software user interfaces, hardware
manufacturers are responding with plug-and-play systems and peripherals.
However, for the user to receive full benefit from these advances,
standardization is necessary. VESA, as the prominent standards organization
for graphics subsystems, has developed a communications channel between the
host and the display. This communication channel offers basic configuration
information plus a standard way of communicating advanced functionality.
The current version of DDC, called DDC2B,
is based on the I²C bus. This is a serial bus that allows multiple bus
masters, although DDC2B allows only one master – the graphics adapter. The
monitor (e.g. a CRT or LCD) contains a read-only memory (ROM) chip
programmed by the manufacturer with information about the graphics modes
that the monitor can display.
Dual Monitor
Technology
Few PC users have ever experienced the huge productivity boost that comes
from using multiple monitors on the same PC. Ironically, many of
today's PC have the capability already installed, and Windows (since 2000)
natively supports dual monitors. Configuring dual monitors is so easy: just use
the second video port (if there are two separate ports installed), or add a
second video card or better yet, a video card that has dual DVI ports.
Then plug in your second monitor, change a couple of simple Windows settings,
and you have double the Windows Desktop. This lets you have your
spreadsheet and email visible at the same time, or PowerPoint and Photoshop.
The combinations are endless. And since most of the overhead is
handled by the video card, there is little significant impact (if any) on
system performance. Dual Monitors is one of the simplest, yet most
amazing productivity boosters you can add to your PC! Optionally, you can use a dual monitor stand and recover your workspace in the process!
