Advantages: Price, Good quality picture, Good stylish looks Disadvantages: No speakers, Doesn't swivel round

I was bought this monitor for my birthday but chose it my self and I have had it for about a month now. I must admit I'm impressed. I wanted a bigger screen because I watch a lot of live streams, so my 15" just wasn't up to the job. I like the fact that I could just take it out of the box and plug it in without installing any other software. With in 5 minutes it was set up and ready to go. It takes a bit of trial and error to get the right setting for your self. I have it on 1280 x 1024. This gives me the same resolution as before but now I can see more of the internet pages that I look at. Even though I have my computer in my Living room this monitor does not look too over powering and it is stylish enough to not look out of place. Now for the first downside, it doesn't have it's own speakers. so if you haven't got any speakers you will need to purchase them as well which will increase the overall cost. An other downside would be it doesn't swivel round, which is a small problem if you want to view the monitor from a different place in the room like I do. Overall I'm happy I got this monitor because When I do watch live streams or films I no longer feel cheated like when you watch a portable TV. The 22 inch widescreen is enough to get full the effects and at a reasonable price.
Advantages: Great picture and styling Disadvantages: No swivel on the stand
Picked this up in the sales from PC World for £129 and what a surprise ! I expected it to be a mediocre monitor for the price but how wrong I am. Took it out of the box and plugged it straight in, no drivers to load, just changed the display settings to 1680x 1050. Makes surfing, spreadsheets etc so much easier to use than my old 21" CRT despite my PC being a little past it. Not a great gamer so can't really comment on performance when gaming but ...

Advantages: Nice design, good quality of picture Disadvantages: had some problems to find proper drivers
I have this monitor for over one year and do have to admit, that haven't had any problems at all. Lookd beautifully on a desk, even thought it has 22" doesn't take a lot of space.
It has a:
* Screen Resolution of 1680x1050
* Response Time: 5ms
* Brightness: 300cd/m2
* Contrast: 2500:1
* TFT Flat Screen Display
* 0.282 Pixel Pitch
* Viewing Angle 170°/160°
* VGA Input
* Internal Power Supply
* Wall Mountable
I keep watching all my dvd's ... ...some simple graphic design and this monitor does it all perfectly. You can buy separetely wall mountable accesories and hang it to save your working space. It is a big value for money.
For this range of price I can recomend it to all.
Please don't forget to rate this review.
Thank you ...

Advantages: Cheap, many features, easy to set up Disadvantages: Does not come with a wall mount
I have recently bought this monitor because my old monitor blew up. It's been a while since i have bought a monitor due to the fact they tend to last for years, so even tho i know a lot about computers i don't really know much about this type thing. My last monitor was a flat screen but i bought it cheap from a friend of mine, so i did'nt care what it was like, but when i looked at how much these kind of monitors were i looked into great detail on ... ...had to be cheap but i really wanted a large screen, when i saw this one it looked just as good as all the others but was a lot cheaper. So why was it cheap as far as i could make out it was just the make, I took a chance and to be fair it is excellent the picture is very clear infact when i watch a dvd on it it's better than our T.V in are living room. it has many features which are easy to use. The only extra money i spent was on a wall mount which ...
