It's a very nice monitor at a very good price. The only downside is the 1 year warranty. It was the first 22" widescreen with a HDMI input.

Price looks good and seems to have good specs. Only down side is the wimpy stand but the monitor looks to be able to mount to standard aftermarket stands/swing arms.

I've got the comparable 19.1" from Sceptre - I love it. But I bought it from Costco - so I don't have to worry about a 1 yr warranty since Costco's customer statisfaction gurantee covers me when/if it breaks down.

Sonic - Costco just backed off that great policy:

I have a 20.1" Sceptre. I really like it and the stand is really not that bad. I've experienced no issues with it.

My receipt is dated before the change - in the state of Michigan that means they have to honor the old warranty. Not that I'm one of those abusers - but it is nice to know that they are (or were) willing to stand behind everything they sell.

My DVI port just died tonight after about a months use, the VGA port produces a terrible pic. My experience of this monitor is consistent with the reviews on Newegg, too many faulty units. Will definitely buy another a 22" size, perfect size for viewing 2 adjacent pages, leaning towards a Samsung 226BW or a Veiwsonic VX2235wm.
