i have the exact monitor at home and im using it with my ps3.. its awesome and looks very clear...

i bought it 6 months ago and did lots of research before making my decision...

it was between this.. the samsung 24" or the dell 24" and i chose this for the price and specs were either better or very close so i couldnt say no..

that being said i was a little skeptical about the decision because of the brand.. i know they make fairly good laptops but it was hard to say about tvs or monitors since i never owned one and from what i saw.. they are at the lower end of the chain. i then went and read as many reviews as i could and got a little more worried because some people were getting defective one.. this one guy returned it 3 times because it keep going defective.. i mean like he bought it and used it for a few days then it just stopped working. i was very scared for that matter but took the chance anyways because of the 100+ dollar difference for the samsung and even more for the dell.

since the 6 months i have no problems with it and the ps3 has never looked so good (i only have a 1080i crt hdtv) so im very happy

the only downside is its quite bright out of the box... you really have to lower the brightness after turning it on but its very easy to do and i dont really see a big problem..

it looks nice but is not adjustable in terms of height or tilt..

it has hdmi.. perfect for the ps3 and then i use the dvi for my pc and you still have a vga for something else if you want..

another thing its missing is a button for input change.. i want a single button to change from hdmi to dvi but no.. you have to go though the menu a bit to change that..

but if this is strictly for the ps3 and in terms of picture quality and reliabiliy.. i love it.. first 1080p screen ive bought and im very happy. it looks nice both on and off

lastly..to take advantage of the 1080p.. im assuming your going to be pretty close to the lcd when using it other wise 1080p is not noticable.. wow i pretty much made a full review of this monitor..
