Upgrading from a 19inch widescreen to this samsung 22" has been a pleasant experience.The monitor has no dead pixels and display is sharp and clear.Pros:The Magicbright presets button is really a nice feature.With one touch you can setup the monitors brightness and contrast for various tasks. I use the internet and movies settings the most. This saves me from wading through several menus to make a simple adjustment.The swivel stand is also a nice touch that you don't see on a lot of monitors.Cons:The buttons are on the bottom edge of the monitor. Therefore you have to operate them mostly from a sense of touch, although the labels are on the front it would make more sense to have the buttons easily visible also.
