Pros Easy to setup and use, great display quality.

Cons none so far.

Recommended it? Yes

Our office has been using Planar flat panel LCDs for a few years now, going back to 18" models I reviewed in late 2001/early 2002. In large part as a result of the quality of those monitors in long term use, and the quality of service we received from Planar when we had a problem with a single... Read full review »

Pros Beautiful display. Easy to switch from VGA to DVI inputs.

Cons Warranty. Speakers are so-so. Awkwardly placed headphone jack.

Recommended it? No

I have a PL2010M on my desk at work and love it.

The image is beautiful and rock solid. I've never seen a stuck pixel.

The Search

I did a lot of my own research prior to replacing my much beloved 19" ViewSonics monitor that I first used as a primary monitor (my first flat screen LCD) on a Windows PC, and then as a second monitor hooked to my Apple Intel iMac. When that finally died, I didn't just go buy a... Read full review »
