Seeing as it is a brand-new monitor, still hot off the factory conveyor belt, I have noticed some improvements over their older monitors. Having HDMI, optical digital audio, a .25" headphone jack, DVI and VGA (switchable between HDMI, DVI, and VGA). The gaming performance is on-par if not better than their previous models, and with the gorgeous black cabinet with dark rose red on the bottom, it looks classy yet modern.

Performance, aesthetics, features, and quality all combine to make this great monitor at a great price. Appealing to gamers (like myself), movie-lovers, and console gamers.
