In conclusion we really like this monitor for several reasons. Firstly, the screen, while it is of the Cathode Ray Tube variety is very flat, and there are not many problems with reflections. Secondly the protective coating on the screen in hardly noticeable when looking at an angle. I've seen some monitors with have a blue shine to them that can get rather annoying after a while. The auto-suspend feature is a blessing, as we hardly every remember to shut off the monitor. Lastly, the screen sharpness holds true when the contrast and brightness are pumped all the way to the max. On less expensive models I've often seen the screen loose its sharpness, or the images become distorted through this kind of test.

Lastly and most importantly (to my neck anyways) the monitor sits on a swivel base that is exceptionally easy to adjust, and even when resolution is at its highest, type and characters remain visible and entirely sharp. If you are looking for a good, not too expensive monitor I can easily recommend the ADI Microscan E66.
