Hanns.G HG281DPB 28" Widescreen LCD Monitor

I bought one of these monitors off Amazon about a year ago and it has worked fine. I love the larger pixel pitch for my old eyes. I bought a second unit a couple months ago for use at work, and within one month it stopped working (white screen of death). Evidently this is a fairly common fault with this monitor. Since Hanns G has no local service depot, I had to mail it back to them in Southern California for repair. It is now fixed but a lot of hassle for a monitor that should be more reliable.

ViewSonic VX2433wm 24-inch WideScreen LCD Monitor
$229.99
Pros: Hardware buttons with deep menus and rich options.
DVI, VGA, and HDMI you couldn't ask for much more.
Highly competitive price
Great response time
Wonderful stand, the tilt is sufficient and maintains the units stability
24" screen is a perfect fit for the 1080p

Cons: Rather dim, not bad for reading text but not the greatest for movie viewing.
As a previous reviewer mentioned the HDMI plug is poorly positioned
Bright blue power button light is annoying at times

I recommend this monitor highly I did a lot of research and unless you are willing to spend upwards of $300 you can't beat this monitor.
