Excellent product

By Phil from Clinton, CT on 1/11/2010

Pros:

Beautiful design, Picture is the best

Cons:

Audio could be better

Best Uses:

Editing of graphicsphoto

How long have you owned it:

Three-to-six months

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I use this for editing of graphics and images for marketing material. The clarity of the picture is the best I have ever seen on any computer at any price.
The sound is not as good as I had hoped but it is better than other speakers in monitors I have heard in the past.
The monitor is a beautiful design and extremely simple to set-up and use. I would have one at every desk if it was not for the price.
