For the price this is a good monitor. But if you're picky, there are a few things you might notice:

1. If you have an older video card then the analog (VGA) color may not be as good as the digital (DVI) color. But after I bought a new video card, the VGA color was identical to the DVI color, so it wasn't the monitor's fault, but the video card's.

2. The default gamma seems a bit too high; I had to lower it in order to calibrate for Photoshop. It would be nice if it had an sRGB setting like the Viewsonic monitors.

2. The screen brightness is not quite uniform; it's brighter at the bottom. And the colors are not uniform; the screen is more red near the bottom of the screen, and more green at the top.

3. It would be nice to have a height adjustment.
