Problem with dark shades
By Jaybird
I bought this hoping to do photo editing work but sadly the color accuracy of this monitor's PVA panel is quite poor in the dark shades. Basically, dark shades are drawn as pure black or very near black, without any subtlety or gradation. I had to return it for a monitor that uses an S-IPS panel and I'm much, much happier with it, although the price was considerably higher.Everything else about this monitor is great so if color accuracy in the dark shades isn't important to you then it is highly recommended. The ergonomics are very good, the latency is better than I expected, brightness and contrast are both very good, and of course sharpness is excellent with a DVI connection. Mine had no dead or stuck pixels. I'd like to give it a higher rating but I really expected better color accuracy from a modern display.Don't be seduced by claims of 1000:1 contrast because in reality it doesn't matter very much. For example, many of the very high-end multi-thousand-dollar professional displays with integrated calibrators do no better than 500:1.

Great Monitor, HORRIBLE Documentation
By Michael Z. Jody
I have just purchased this monitor which I absolutely LOVE, but caveat emptor: the documentation for setting it up and using it was obviously written in Korean (by a very bright 5 year old) and then translated by dictionary alone. It does not come with a simple set-up sheet, which meant that it took me 15 minutes to figure out why it would not even turn on. ANSWER: you must turn the monitor upside down and flip the main power switch which is invisible unless the monitor is flipped. The front power switch only works then. Also it came with two sets of cables to attach to the cpu and (as they were unmarked save in Korean) I erronesouly attached the analog ones and did not know that.Documenation aside, it is a very nice looking all-black simple monitor, the stand adjusts nicely, (vertically and you can flip the screen from portrait to landscape), and the clarity is great.

True 8/24 Bit Color
By Jim B.
Note that this is a true 16.7 million (8/24 bit) color unit, but it "pays the price" with only a 20mS response time, therefore, four stars.Monitors with 16.2 million (6/18 bit) colors actually have only a bit more than 262,000 colors. The 16.2 million claimed colors are obtained by dithering and tricking your eye/brain into "seeing" colors that aren't really there. By using only 6 bits instead of 8 bits for R, G, & B, the manufacturers can greatly reduce the response time down to a speedy 8mS.Your choice - true colors or fast response, but both in the same unit are $$$.I've got the 940T for color work, and two 730B units (6 bit, 8mS) for additional work space, and for the occasional movie. The difference in colors and smearing/ghosting are noticeable when the monitors are side-by-side and displaying the same material.
