This monitor, like the KDS monitor I bought 3 years prior, becomes too bright after approximately one year. Adjusting the brightness does not help. My NEC monitor which I have had for more than 6 years has lasted longer than two of these KDS monitors. If you can afford it, buy a better monitor.

I will not buy another KDS.

I am very pleased both with the monitor and Amazon. The monitor was in original package and shipped securely and in 3 business days with the free super saver shipping!! It is sleek and has a great picture, and I am sure that with more time and tweaking that it will be even better. I just got it yesterday so this may be premature, but I am very happy. I set it up in minutes without any problems at all. I highly recommend this monitor if you are on a tight budget like I am and want a nice black flat screen monitor with a three year warranty!

For the price of this flat screen monitor it really is a great value. Took some adjustments to get picture fine tuned, but what doesnt? Downloaded ntest.exe for the calibrations. Run monitor at 1024x768 85 hz refresh. Flat screen is a joy to look at. One problem (or two): monitor came without driver CD nor any instruction manual. Minor problem, seeing as how I had no intention of using [the disc] anyway. Although, the drivers from the KDS page are not digitally signed by MS? Oh well. At least XP detects it as Plug and Play Monitor and with that works perfectly. Controls for brightness/contrast and screen size/position/shape/temperature are accesible via onscreen menu which is easy to understand. And it's a black monitor which is a plus anytime. Take care.
