Advantages: Looks, quality,ease of use

Disadvantages: shiny exterior shows up fingerprints!

I needed a larger monitor for work purposes, however i wanted one that would look nice as the office is in the back bedroom, this monitor caters for that. It has an attractive look (rare for some monitors) and suits the workspace.

The monitor has different inputs so can be used with a lot of different devices, currently i have a VGA connection and a digital connection, this means i have a desktop and a laptop conencted, useful for using the one monitor for two computers.

It also has HDMI, Scart and component, however it doesnt have a standard composite, so anything that uses the yellow phono style plug, wont work. Also this wont work using a scart adapter, this may cause problems for some users?

The speakers are reasonable, but the display quality is superb, easy to set up and has plenty of 'screen real estate' for using as a monitor for general office based tasks. It has a digital optical out for plugging into an amplifier if you need any louder audio.

I wanted a monitor that doubled as a TV, this also works well, with easy to use and set up digital TV, and a good picture quality.

So if you want a 22" screen that works well for computing as well as TV then this is for you, it looks good as well and not out of place in the room.

I can't comment on the gaming capabilities, however i have no doubt that this will perform well.

Summary: Top quality product and well worth a consideration
