I bought this monitor as a replacement for a 19" non HD monitor. The difference is shocking! Not only are the objects razor sharp but the color is stunning. I take a lot of photos on my Sony a55 and like to play with them in PhotoShop so I needed an accurate display down to the last pixel so I wouldn't be limited in my options. This is an amazing monitor at an even more amazing price. I'm very pleased with this purchase.
What's great about it: The HD display is breathtaking and the size makes you feel like you're in the picture. The price couldn't be beat.
