Pros: At the moment - none. Cons: After 5 torturous days of waiting, I received the monitor today. I get it home, get my old 22" LCD out of the way, unbox this very substantial monitor, plug it in, and.... from Newegg.com Very little backlight bleed. Very crisp and clean displayExcellent colorsNo bandingVery fast, great for gaming Cons: It could always be cheaper. A-TW polarizer would be nice but then nothing under $1000 has that anyway. Other Thoughts: The prior review title "Not For Professionals" should be ignored. from Newegg.com Pros: - Very large workspace- Once color corrected using tool like Spyder2Pro, colors are beautiful (until banding appears)- Response time for gaming is overall pretty good. No obvious ghosting, but minor blurring in the more fast-paced games Cons: - Terrible banding, especially notable in gradient scales, that makes this monitor completely useless for working professional photographers and designers- Backlight bleed that literally leaves me seeing spots the next day Other Thoughts: I have a high-end rig that I use for professional photography and design and decided to upgrade my monitor to the PX2611W for the increased work space. from Newegg.com The Planar PX2611W is the ultimate 1920x1200 gaming monitor. The 5ms response time translates into a 1 frame lag vs a CRT. from Amazon.com Pros: The monitor is amazing. Best monitor I ever used. Huge, clear, crisp, worth every penny... so why 4 stars? from Newegg.com Pros: I bought this LCD based upon recommendation from multiple websites. I am primarily a gamer and this LCD has so far performed well in twitch shooters and real time strategy genres, so input lag is not a problem. from Newegg.com IPS has insane colour, and laser beam text. The great and unique thing about this monitor is that it has less than one frame of lag. EVERY other monitor on this website that is sub PVA (decent quality) or IPS like the NEC's have 2-4 frames of input lag. Really not good for first person shooters. from Newegg.com Pros: Newegg and Planar Cons: none yet after fixed Other Thoughts: I had 2 dead pixels and was contacting Planar when the screen went red. So Newegg replaced it. from Newegg.com Pros: 8 bit color is really better 3 day delivery, no damage no banding or bleeding showing, a great panel Planar warranty one of the best Cons: Stuck pixels (red) I paid too much, my fault but a con Other Thoughts: Price varies on this monitor, watch it controls fine, picture, stand, adjustable stand fine. 2 Red stuck pixels not fine For a Grand I want a perfect panel, I hope Planar agrees. from Newegg.com Pros: Bright, colorful image with little to no ghosting. Being able to see everything is great and after a while every monitor I use feels tiny, even 19"" standard aspect ratio displays. from Newegg.com
