They are pretty impressive for the money. My dad bought one for his PC, as we'd not heard of Hanns-G before buying one we didn't know what to expect but we were quite pleasantly surprised. I'd go as far as saying it's better than the HP monitor my mate has on his new Vista (and now Ubuntu/Vista) PC. >> I have an Acer TFT screen and they quality is really good, > Ditto. I have a 19" 4:3 model and the picture quality is superb. I went for an Acer because my other half had the 15" model. I wish it had DVI though and dual inputs so I didn't have to use an external switch box, still it is a good monitor. >> I'd also recommend that if you can, use a DVI connection if your PC >> supports it as you'll get a better quality picture.

Personally I wouldn't buy a Dell TFT, I've seen quite a few at work fail with black spots on the screen where the liquid crystal just seems to waste away.
