$235.00 Est. at Amazon

from lt.dell.com
i think this is the largest and widest monitor that most home users want to have.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
this monitor is bright enough that you can see it easily even in a bright room, and there is very little glare off the screen.there were no dead pixels, and the setup is pretty easy once the stand is
from www.amazon.com
there is a bit of backlight bleed but you really only see it when the monitor is completely black and all of the lights are off in the room.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
i use it at 75 contract and 25 brightness so i am guessing that there is more room for those who need brighter picture.
from www.amazon.com
i had to have my roommate attach the base for me but after that one minuscule snag i'm thoroughly satisfied with this magnificent monitor.

from wickedpete, www.shopping.com
get one for that computer or rec room!
from Boldar, www.newegg.com
plus, you can still tilt the monitor to fall in line with your position.-on a white/mostly white screen it lights up your dark room!
from rquimbey, www.newegg.com
i'm going to place black electric tape or something because in a dark room it bugs me.
from will, www.newegg.com
they're not that noticeable but they're there.the power button is touch sensitive and if the rooms dark it can be kind of difficult to figure out where you have to put your finger to get it to turn on
from Sherlock, www.newegg.com

from www.amazon.com
yes, the blazing blue power light is more distracting than you might think, especially in a dark room, and there's no height adjustment, and it's quite difficult to calibrate (anyone have any

from mdunakin, www.newegg.com
where i said this 24" monitor has more room then a 12" monitor, as far as actual real hight goes, i meant to say, it was a 21" monitor, not a 12".i measured the real hight of my 21" crt to this one

the vh226h is $169.99, plus a $20 rebate and free cons: it's hard to calibrate it *exactly* how you want it.doesn't toast bread and butter it with jam.doesn't stop my family from awing at it in
from Preston, www.newegg.com
the games look amazing like dead space, call of duty and fallout 3.the monitor itself looks very good and goes well in my room.
from mirthmgr, www.newegg.com
it's not the end of the world, but physically hitting the power button on all of my monitors when i leave the room for a while is proving to be a tough habit to form.
from bozo, www.newegg.com
very roomy for multiple windows at 1920x1080 resolution.mine had no dead pixels, no issues what so-ever.
from Arcanum, www.newegg.com
the light on front is not super bright and annoying like some monitors and its angled toward the desk so no shooting blue light across the room.

from Bloke, www.newegg.com
of bleed on any monitor you buy, mine has no more than .25 inches around, and even then i would have to really look at it to really notice it (did a test with lights off in the room and everything).
from Buy Monitor, www.newegg.com
black even with the light bleed not a grey like i saw in a post a while ago.**can block out glare to where it's not bad at all by just turning up the brightness** - perfect for bright and dark rooms.
from Haxsys, www.newegg.com
the 400nit is great too, if you're in a bright room during the day.
from velocity101, www.newegg.com
there's some room for improvement in that department.

they’re the best where glare and reflection can be controlled.[wasn't room in "other comments", so included here]...newegg should revise its “egg rating system”… so that one could leave a “defective
from dandv, www.newegg.com
the monitor buttons are almost seamless and in a semi-dark room you can't distinguish among them.
