I wouldn't listen much to reviewers that trash this product simply because they didn't get their rebate check. I have been very happy with mine.While not a top of the line monitor, it does produce a good and sharp picture. It is constructed well, has a small "footprint" that takes up minimal space on your desk. It is also very light weight since the power supply is corded so it sits on the floor.You get 14" of viewable space and at 1024x768 resolution the text is razor sharp. The contrast ratio is 200:1, and the color is pretty good. This is not for gaming but, if you want a nice LCD that is light weight and takes up a small amount of desktop space, this is for you.
