The Pros:Very thin - useful for those with limited desk space. Great for media - 16:9 1080p, has HDMI input and uses LED backlighting for better black levels. Includes both DVI and VGA cables in the box.

The Cons:Edge-lit LED - not as evenly backlit when compared to array-based LED technology. Doesn't include an HDMI cable in the box. 16:9 aspect ratio - cuts vertical pixels from 16:10, essential for viewing vertical documents and websites.
