DAVID, HORSHAM I`m old
- Good points:
- 16/10 VIEWING I didn`t need to set up the variables. It just works for me. Good for flight sims,games(Sniper Elite2)etc. More room to work on.
- Bad points:

Charles, Lowestoft Retired computer professional
- Good points:
- This is the only 28" monitor that I know of with 1980x1200 resolution.
- Bad points:
- Awkward controls, hard to see which does what. Also cable plugs situated at the bottom of the monitor rather than the side, making access difficult.

Graham, Berkshire
- Good points:
- A great monitor for the price. Nice and large, higher than "HD" res all for less than £200!
- Bad points:
- Not the most colour accurate if you're into professional photo editing etc. but for anyone else I can't fault it. You will need to fiddle with the settings a bit to get colour balance and contrast looking more natural but it's not that hard to get a setup which is good enough for everday use and gaming.

Andrew,
- Good points:
- It's big, clear, bright and good enough image quality for my purposes (architectural design work) I can't get the colours exactly matched to my Dell laptop, not as saturated, but then maybe it's the Dell that's not accurate.
- Bad points:
- The buttons underneath aren't ideal - you can't see the buttons to turn it off - but this is not really a problem.

from House of Fraser to Tesco,
no one is selling it, we're sorry to say,
not 403 retailers nor anyone on eBay,
but please don't worry even if it hurts,
