I've had monitors ranging from a 15 inch CRT to a 26 inch Asus and nothing has EVER compared to this monitor, which is in the same price range as monitors inches smaller with half the price. I've had this for months and have never had a single problem, and have a guarantee that if anything goes wrong or even one pixel is damaged I will receive a new monitor.

I've used this with my bluray player, desktop, xbox 360, and I am going to purchase a second one to use as a smaller widescreen TV with the HDMI!!!

Very poor quality. Has a graph paper pattern in the background. Could not return for refund because I called for return instructions 6 days late. I will never purchase another Dell product.
