from www.amazon.com
while setting up the monitor it reminded of my samsung lcd tv because it gave auto adjusts to not only clarity, but to size and color, or custom to your liking.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: this monitor only operates on 60hz, and since it is a progressive scan rather than an interlaced scan (that's what the "p" and "i" stand for in tv resolution) it's pretty obvious when
from www.amazon.com
all in all, a great monitor if you can get a deal on it, especially considering it can play ps3 movies/games at full resolution without stretching them.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
it can automatically (if set) change the aspect ratio to 4:3 for older games which is a huge plus for me.

1080p video is amazing on this monitor, looks better than it does on my brothers 1080p philips tv.
from Rob165x, www.newegg.com
but if you're like me or most users, you wont rely on monitor speakers anyhow (it's also difficult to find a desktop monitor with good speakers built in for a good price, unless you buy a tv monitor).

i do not even notice it while gaming as very few screens are dark enough for it to be visible.a 22" monitor just isn't quite big enough to play ps3 games on.

the only feature this monitor is lacking is a coaxial input and a tv tuner, and i wish it had it.
