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 the screen where the grid-mesh is being held together because of the nature of the flat non-LCD screen. This is only noticable on completely white backgrounds.
Another disadvantage is that it is large and very heavy, especially at the front, which makes it very difficult to carry. But once on your desk, it looks the part and definately plays the part. I love it! An excellent substitute for an LCD flatscreen.
