Mike, Crewe

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Very Easy to set up, appreciated the choice of 2 cables supplied (old "D" & DVI).
The vivid display made my old monitor look drab.
Bad points:: My old monitor was 4:3 format and I found new 16:9 difficult to get used to for first few days. Thought I would have to use portrait format for text but after about a week, I just got used to it.
