This is a great monitor -well thought out, great ergonomics, excellent color reproduction, and of course, a spectacular field of view, thanks to the premium IPS screen. I can look at this screen from virtually any angle without color shifts or brightness changes.
Don't believe the reviews that complain about dimness problems...I don't know what kind of retina-searing technology people are looking for, but this monitor is actually a bit brighter than the LED-backlit screen on my MacBook, which is itself a fairly bright screen. I run them both side-by-side, and I couldn't be happier with the pairing. I've had no complaints about image quality, whatsoever.
Aside from the quality of the panel, this monitor has lots of nice little touches that I demand from a "pro" monitor: a 5-inch height adjust (ESSENTIAL for me, as I'm over six feet tall); the ability to pivot the screen 180 degrees; a wide, stable stand; and a minimalist design. This is not one of those cheap-looking, shiny plastic monstrosities that you'll find at Costco -the bezel is thin and unobtrusive, and the buttons are tasteful and small. It's no Cinema Display, but it's as nice a design as you'll find without shelling out twice the cash. (Alas!)
My complaints are minor: the controls are a bit goofy to use, and more thought could have been put into the on-screen display. Also, I'd love a version of the display with an LED backlight. Other than that, I think it's a great buy. Highly recommended to anyone who appreciates the quality improvements given by an IPS display.
