...display does not pivot. The viewing angle loses contrast pretty quickly when moving left to right in front of the screen, but I found text to be very legible, even at small point sizes.

Advantages: Small footprint, easy to set up
Disadvantages: Not as clear as a CRT

Advantages: Good colour reproduction, fast response time.
Disadvantages: Looks ugly, built-in speakers are not very good.

I purchased this monitor a couple of years ago, and it arrived with one dead pixel. Despite this, the monitor is quite good - It has a quick response time and good colour reproduction. The monitor was well packaged, with all the required leads and cables, along with an instruction manual. The manual itself is not brilliant; it's somewhat sparse when it comes to information about the monitor. Also, the provided drivers are nothing special, and can ...
...quite good a few years ago, it's no longer up to current standards. Only buy if you're after an "average" monitor. Beware of dead pixels when purchasing, and be sure to check the dead pixel policy - Some places will not swap out monitors on the basis of dead pixels. ... Read review
