My Experience: Great Price, True 1080P. The picture was great. Sound was average. Very nice selection of inputs.

Problems: If I left the monitor off for two days I would have to unplug it and plug it back in to get it to turn on. Even the hard button on the side would not turn it back on, there was a dpmi setting but that didn't help either. The IR sensor was not great, I had to hit the sensor directly for it to react. No zoom for 4 x 3 pictures. The power issue was enough for me to return it to Best Buy. I called tech support and they suggested that I plug it in directly to the wall instead of my surge protector. That logic didn't seem to make sense so I just returned it. One more thing, at 10' away 1920 x 1080 resolution is too small to read on a 42", so if you want it for your PC in the living room you may just be better of with 1366 X 768.
