This Monitors give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Pretty Good
Except for the darkest of scenes, this monitor has excellent performance. Colors are vibrant, consistent, and *very* accurate for a monitor of this price point. I am an amateur photographer and I got this monitor primarily to photoshop with, and this is great for that. IPS technology is awesome.

When I first got this monitor, black level was set to "high" which resulted in an inordinate amount of back light bleed. Setting the black level to "low" helped SIGNIFICANTLY--however you can only change this setting using HDMI. I haven't tried this monitor using any other interface. That being said, there is still some noticeable backlight bleed in the lower right corner, however I stopped noticing/caring after the 1st day. Light/reflections hitting the monitor can also give the impression of backlight bleed, as it can turn blacks to dark blues due to the screen cover?

Another thing with this monitor is that the stand is RIDICULOUSLY FLIMSY. The slightest movement makes...

2. Excellent all around and great price
I actually got a great deal at a local electronic store for $159 and could not pass it up. I was a bit nervous because I did not see a lot of review. I am a technology consultant and figured I could consider it product research ;)

I am actually very impressed. Since part of my job is to review and test a lot of products for my clients I have see many of the newer IPS monitors. This one really sits up there with the higher priced ones in almost every aspect.

I was actually able to test it side by side with 6 other monitors including 2 other IPS.

Pros
Really good black levels (not saying the other reviewer was wrong, maybe they got a lemon)
Excellent color
Media (HD movies, picture editing) was excellent. Really good contrast!
Gaming had no problems despite the fact that IPS tends to be a bit slower on the refresh. Tested BF3, Skyrim and both looked great.

Cons
Connections! Not enough of them
The stand is a bit...

Need more appointment... ?
nice color, muddy black
Just bought one of these today and before I get use to it I must say:
The color is nice. There is a lot of back light bleed, which is annoying.
Blacks are dark at the sacrifice of detail. The black is just plain washed out
and muddy with no detail. Big blobs of black everywhere.
The Color really is nice though. perhaps a product
of the pumped up back light and ips panel. There is a greyed out ( locked )
control for black level. It is set to high. If I could access this and
turn down I am sure I would not be returning this monitor later this week.
My comparison monitor is my LG E2360. I like it better. The color is not as
rich but the detail level in everything is much higher and I don't have to
buy a monitor calibrator to be happy.
I tried several time to tweek the levels but just can't get this monitor to
behave better compared to HP and LG TN panels. Sorry but the ips hype is hyped.
