Hanns-G HL269DPB Black 26" 5ms Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 X-Contrast 30,000,000:1 (800:1) Built-in Speakers

Pros: not much

Cons: On previous review I noted that colors and light were not good, well now after three months I review again telling you the monitor is garbage, it keeps on making shadows on the screen objects and becomes blurry, I switch to other monitors and the problem goes away, If I shut everything down and wait i may get a clear screen again but it is frustrating as heck, I am very disappointed. We'll see

Pros: nice large screen

Cons: the base does not attach to the monitor. I tried contacting HANNS-G customer support, which was useless. I thought it was just the one I got, so I RMA-ed it and got a second. Same problem.

Other Thoughts: I solved the problem of the base not fitting by getting an Atdec Spacedec SD-SA-DK-S Acrobat Swing Arm (Item #: N82E16882725029). As a plus, the monitor now has much more positioning range, in vertical, horizontal and distance.

Pros: Nice size crisp clear graphics and ease of assembly, fair price if below $200.00 no rebates- yes sir I hate those things!

Cons: Color and light are a bit too cold and harsh, i made the most adjustment possible to bring it to a warm normal color scheme and just cannot, it is too bright in some angles from above at just 20 degrees up- the blacks are a very light gray, everything is washed up you need to have the screen at 5 to 10 degrees tilted up to see a more normal color scheme, reds will look pink and so on otherwise. side ways you loose color and clarity very quickly at 45 degrees you will see haze as everything begins to get grayish, still legible but not nice, I like my HANNspree better, this is the second Hanns-g I own the first fried out, I do not think I will buy another unless it is much cheaper, or color and visibility improves.

Pros: - Large size
- Bright, vibrant display
- Nice style
- Price

Cons: - Bad viewing angles
- no HDMI
- no DVI cable included

Other Thoughts: I bought this monitor on a whim while shopping at a local retailer. It was on sale for $179.99 and after taking a good look at it and reading up on the specs, I figured why not give it a try? I am glad I did! I upgraded to this from a 24" Sceptre LCD and trust me, the difference is night and day. LED is really the way to go, and the luminance is off the charts. This monitor is fantastic for gaming and features a very vibrant display. The colors are excellent and the contrast is also very good. If you can get this monitor on sale, you will not be disappointed! I have only owned it for a few days, but I have experienced zero flickering or dead pixels. So far, so good!

My only complaints are that they do not include a DVI cable and the viewing angles are not the best. Then again, at what I paid for this ($179.99), that is a minor trade off. This is 26" of gaming bliss thus far. I hope it holds up for the long haul but if it does not, you can be sure I will update my review here. Also, I have zero interest in the built in speakers, so I will never use them.

Pros: Was a very nice monitor when I first had it. Read my last review.

Cons: After the month of use, it now flickers very badly and has no options for changing the refresh rate. Almost unusable for gaming. Not to be "that guy", but I'd definitely recommend going with a different brand if you're gaming, photo or video editing, or anything where you want a crisp, clean image of what you're looking at.

Other Thoughts: It was nice when I first got it, and if you're just doing text editing or something then I'm sure it will be fine for you. Maybe I just got a lemon, but I've heard of this happening a lot with HANNS-G monitors.

Pros: Very good so far

Cons: none

Pros: Great clarity, very bright and sharp. It does not have a lot of reflection like some other monitors. No dead pixels. I bought this monitor while it was on sale last week and it was a great bargain. I have it hooked up to a 2012 Macbook Pro and does a great job!

Cons: The only thing I would change is the appearance of the base. I wish more monitors were more modern like the Apple thunderbolt display and some of the Samsung models. I know their is a huge price difference, but seems like the base would not alter the price that much. Besides that I would not change anything.

Pros: Huge, cheap, color isn't too shabby

Cons: Came with a dead pixel and don't want to go through the hassle of trying to get a new one.

Other Thoughts: Not bad for the price.

Pros: been very happy with the monitor, color is good,,,, stand is good, priced right,

Cons: but this morning I started seeing a flash of a black line randomly all the way across the screen about every 5 seconds......

Other Thoughts: never had any other monitor have any problems, and I just gave away my 5 yo perfect 21" Samsung to make room for this 26 incher........wish I had kept it......

Pros: Size
1080p
LED - energy savings
Picture quality

Cons: Appears to be a little on the brighter side (I'm still trying to find the optimal contrast/brightness settings). Not sure if this is an LED thing so it could take some getting used to.

Other Thoughts: Couldn't beat the price and size. I went from a 23" to this and it was still a noticeable difference. I'm guessing the quality wasn't quite as good as some of the other monitors but I'm very satisfied with this purchase.
