...I bought this monitor 3 years ago and it has not failed me since, it has been in transit a lot to and from university and still remains robust.
The sreen is flat and very sharp even at high resolutions upto 1600x1200 and the colours are richer than that of any monitor I've seen. The USB hub that's built into the base is also very useful (stops you faffing about behind your computer). Even has built in speakers in case you badly need to hear something! The whole thing looks very stylish and curvy.
It carries the high brightness feature which makes games/movies look very realistic and sharp both in colour and quality. Thats something most monitors don't have! All digital the controls are standard and easy to use as well.
However there are a couple of downsides. There are two VERY VERY thin horizontal lines running across...

Advantages: Big screen, Picture quality, Ease of use, USB hub. Disadvantages: Some picture problems.
...Having had a trio of dodgy reconditioned Pro 451s I've so far been very happy with the performance of the Pro 454.
Size wise it’s nice and large with an 18” viewable screen which is totally flat. It has a max resolution of 1920x 1440 @ 85Hz. One improvement over the 451 is that it can run at a resolution of 1600x1200 @ 100Hhz and so avoids eye strain from prolonged use. This is the resolution I mostly use.
Picture wise you couldn’t ask for more. The screen is nice and bright, colours are excellent and text is clear and sharp. There are plenty of adjustment options to tweak the display further. These are found using the buttons on the base and are easy to use.
It has a built in powered 4port USB 1.1 hub which I’ve used with many peripherals without any problems.
The monitor takes up quite a lot of space and is quite heavy...
