4 out of 5 eggsGood monitor, but expect bleeding.

Pros: - Awesome size
- Good colors, bright, clear picture etc.
- No ghosting due to 3ms response time

Cons: - Menu is a little quirky, but useable.
- Blacks are not true blacks
- Don't like the way it makes you switch from VGA to HDMI
- Only one HDMI port
- Bad backlight bleeding around all four sides.

Other Thoughts: I would really like to emphasize how bad the blacklight bleeding is. There is about an inch of misty whitish bleeding around all four sides of the screen when black colors are on the screen. It is not completely horrible, but it is rather annoying on black screens. I'm quite sure just about everyone who buys this monitor experiences this, but doesn't understand what it is, and even refer to it as 'ghosting', which is incorrect. I've read several forums where people experience the exact same level of backlight bleed as I do. Every LCD screen has some level of backlight bleed, but this really just has too much. I have email Hanns-G about it to see if I can get a replacement, but have not had a response yet. If this blacklight bleeding was fixed, I would give this monitor a 5/5 - 10/10, but with this issue it's a 8.5/10 for me.

5 out of 5 eggsbang for the $$$

Pros: I have 3 of these monitors now. I had 1 that I picked up a couple years ago at a bigbox store and just got 2 more on black friday. sheer size is amazing for the cost. people are awestruck when they walk in my office and see 3 side by side.

Cons: not really a con of the recent purchases, but the one i bought a while back is not as bright as the new ones forcing me to dim the brightness on the new ones to match. also the old one has a slight flicker to it. it has been on 8hrs a day minimum for a couple years so i cant complain.

4 out of 5 eggsNice monitor for the price.

Pros: Good size, nice looking. Good quality overall.

Cons: Only 1 HDMI port. Wish the stand would telescope upwards. The side configuration buttons are a nuisance. There should be seperate buttons for volume control.

Other Thoughts: The speakers are okay, I wouldn't advise depending on them for quality sound for gaming or anything. Nice large monitor for the price.

5 out of 5 eggsSatisfied for price

Pros: Very cheap, less than half the price of the competition.
Lots of screen real-estate for playing games and watching movies.
The simple straight edge design for the bezel is very appealing. The stand also feels sturdy.

Cons: Only 1920x1200 resolution, big screens like this should go to 2560x1200, but this was also less than half the price of the competition.

Backlight bleed is severe, this is especially noticeable when watching a movie and it fades to a black screen. You sort of see the white light make an 'X' figure. Not noticeable during normal usage in a more color-vibrant environment, such as browsing or playing games.

Other Thoughts: This is the best performance-for-the-dollar on a screen you could get. I am not sure how the brand name or the quality of the product will hold out in the long run.
Don't buy this three hundred dollar monitor expecting a thousand dollar monitor, no free lunches here. Just a really value-oriented product that strips down all excess to bring 28" of screen real estate at the three hundred price point.

4 out of 5 eggs

Pros: one of the best monitors, i've own. 1920x1200 is huge which means more space on desktop. only 800:1 but is still very good for screen this size. Good response time. Best for gaming.

Cons: could use a DVI port but im ok with DVI to HDMI

5 out of 5 eggsNo complaints

Pros: Excellent colors, no dead pixel. Nothing to complaint about. I plan to get another one for my wife when it's in stock.

Cons: Non concerning the monitor or Newegg. However I'm not fond of UPS since the person left the monitor/package behind a bush at my front door without leaving a note, when I got home from my office it was already dark & I almost missed seeing the package.

Other Thoughts: As stated in prior posts, I had to turn down the brightness. Also the built-in speakers are adequate at best, but since I have my own speakers it was a non issue. I got this monitor from Newegg approx 6 months ago, but waited until now to put in my 2 cents worth since I wanted to see if problems will develope, & I'm glad to say that the monitor has work flawlessly from day one. Nothing to complaint about at all.

1 out of 5 eggsFailed after ~18 months, problem not covered by 3 year warrant

Pros: It is an awesome monitor....while it lasted.

I've got another HannsG (JW199D) which is fine after ~4 years which I'm using temporarily. So the issue is (probably) quality control is extremely erratic. But I'm never buying Hanns G again. 50% failure rate on monitors in less than 3 years is a joke.

Cons: It failed after 18 months and not covered under warranty. I was told it was cost ~$200 (not including shipping 1 direction) to fix it.

At that price, I might as well buy a new monitor from a country that has better Quality Control.

Other Thoughts: If HannsG doesn't stand by their products for a minimum of 3 years...why should I bother dealing with them? Seriously. And it is a real pain timing wise (Weekend before Christmas? FFS.)
