Advantages: Stylish, guaranteed free of pixel faults, perfomance Disadvantages: Needs some cable ties to keep cables from untidying desks
I read a few reviews and was rather impressed by what was said. The screen is well thought out, is guaranteed free of dead pixels. I bought three of these for use in a customer's office.

The integral speakers are OK for office use and heps to maintain a clear desk which can be important in a modern office.
It has not been used for gaming but for office applications where its image has been very stable and showing good colour range and brightness.
Documentation and drivers cover everything that you need to know and whilst screens are not difficult to install there was no problem here.
