getting more affordable...

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 »

"Advance Replacement Warranty" didn't get me an advance replacement

bysdpinpdx Nov 23, 2005
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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.

I didn't need a KVM because it's easy to switch between the DVI and VGA inputs with the front-panel buttons (3 clicks).

Everything said in the... Read full review »

Great picture, terrible setup, deceptive marketing

bydreamshark Apr 3, 2011
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fantastic picture.
Cons Difficult setup, tilt not adjustable, screen smaller than advertised.
Recommended it? No

To start with, although this is advertised as a 22" monitor, it is actually 21.5" by my measurement. It even says 21.5" on the box!  The extra half inch doesn't matter to me a lot, but the deceptive marketing does not build confidence.

But the big problem was the ordeal of getting it to... Read full review »

Crystal clear display, flexible controls, narrow viewing angle

bygsearle May 20, 2011
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very sharp display with excellent color, attractive design, narrow footprint.
Cons Narrow viewing angle, non-adjustable stand, "Magic" settings can conflict with...
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this monitor to replace two bulky, aging, power-hungry CRT displays and am very pleased with it. The widescreen 1920x1080 resolution easily takes the place of two CRT screens. The generous desktop space and sharp display is a pleasure to use.

Only two connectors are provided... Read full review »
