mine had a powerboard problem and it finally failed to power-up back in Jan. of this year....but Hannspree fixed it and was great customer service. It's working very well since.
It's a pretty good monitor. Not the best I've had. But it's ok. The thing that really bothers me about this product is the non- swivel monitor. Why the hell would they not put the damn thing on a round neck, rather they use the oval one. I mean, if it's already roundish, why not make it completely round for rotation purposes. I instead, have to move the entire product around.
It's like making bicycle wheels that don't turn. But resemble bicycle wheels. What's the point?
It's 1200p 16:10 aspect ratio. The native rez is 1920x1200, so it can easily fit 1920x1080. When 16:9 content is displayed, I prefer to have bars to keep the correct aspect. 16:10 aspect is great for a hybrid display that handles computing tasks, movies, and games.
its a big screen, some people dont like huge screens... im used to my 46" screen, and want bigger... but yes, this is a great monitor for the money, and I highly recommend it... I hardly ever recommend anything. But yes, it has lots of real estate, so it would kick ass for WoW.
@MCjochen You're gonna get eye cancer from any monitor it doesn't matter the size of it. I don't understand why people are so paranoid about electronics, *Everything* That has electricity has radiation - Thus you eventually *Will* get cancer from it. No point in livin a boring life with no electricity as a cave man, Gimmie my big screens and let me have fun, If I die by 30 so be it.
it has 4 buttons on the side, its not easy, as you have to go to a menu, scroll to the volume, hit menu, then select the volume you want. 99.9% of the people who buy this, arn't going to use the speakers on it. they suck.
A few questions before I get this monitor it has only a HDMI port and D-SUB which is a VGA port in the back? Can I hook up my Pc to the HDMI port and Xbobx 360 to the VGA port? if so are the buttons on the monitor able to switch between both displays?
@lenientf you should wait till they have good 120hz screens, that are 1080p. Just my two cents.. but the title has the name of the screen... but its LCD if thats what you mean...?
omg stupid youtube putting my reply to you on top while ignoring showing to what the reply was... This was a reply to one of your posts here.. click "show all comments" and see.. and you'll understand better what I mean.. If it sounds like Im complaining btw, Im not complaining to you Im complaining to youtube.
its a $300 screen, people bitch and complain, like their $300 screen, needs to be just as good as the ones that are $1000-2,000. Doesn't dawn on them, that they are that expensive for a reason! you get what you pay for, and I can say, this screen was worth every penny of the $300 bucks I paid for it.
What are the downside? I mean, everything has to have an downside right? Is it laggy? Has an high recommended set-up? Sorry, i need to know cause I really want to buy one, but am afraid to trust the information given, its best to ask one who has it. From what I know you wont be bias.
I bought that monitor about 6 months ago and the first one i got looked like someone hit it with a ball peen hammer. They had the replacement at my house 3 days later. Not bad customer service form newegg.
