I have had my unit for almost a year now. Newegg.com has some decent reviews on this product. There is the buzzing noise issue. I've long since gotten over it, and I don't really notice, but it's there if things are very quiet. The cost of the unit is high, and there are units with better gaming performance, but if you are an artist or just looking for great color, this unit is for you. It's a bit thicker than I would like, but that just goes with the quality of the display. Over all, it is a good unit. The viewing angle is fantastic, unlike my Samsung 2443BWT.
