As a follow-up to my post last year, I'm happy to have bought this thing.
There's a slight backlight at the bottom, on black backgrounds, but most LCD have it and it can't be perfect at that price. I'm really happy to have it, gaming and movies are much more awesome and you can't beat the price.
@EvanFuckingBinns shouldn't they include such a connection. I dont see why i would want this monitor if it doesnt include the standard connection for graphics cards. I just dont like going through more of a trouble just to get a monitor, that seems mediocre in the first place.
my biggest concern is the lack of DVI which is the standard in computing now. HDMI is the high end, and VGA is the ANCIENT low end, DVI is a must have now, and it lacks it.
@Ishykawa It's not, since 1200p would imply a 16:9 aspect ratio and progressive image. While it does have 1200px of height, there isn't much of a standard for a related 16:9 resolution. 2134x1200? Never heard of it.
It's 1080p for the sake of supporting that resolution natively (black bars). No one would care if it said something like "1200p" since no one knows what that is- people barely understand what 1080p means.
You can't just take the height in pixels of a display and add a P on the end.
Do you think I could hook this up to my laptop? (running max resolution of 1280x800)? Or would that look too damn blurry? Can the monitor upscale the resolution by itself?

yeah, i really don't like monitors which haven't been talked and reviewed about in public, i'll rather have a Dell st28 or a Lg 28"

i think running a 28"at that res would look really poor.

It's capable of handling 1080p from HDMI connections on the XBox 360 and Playstation 3 consoles.

DVI and HDMI are exactly the same picture quality the only difference if that HDMI caries sound and is smaller
