excellent for the price.......2006-07-25

This uses the same S-PVA panel as the $150 more expensive Eizo L568. After comparing the two, the Eizo certainly does provide more differentiation in similar colors than the 740T, and the L568's power supply also appears to be superior (the 740T flutters a bit with fast black to white transitions). However, they're both about equally accurate with the factory ICM profile installed. Where the Eizo shines is when you calibrate with a spectrophotometer, the big LUT and gamma correction provide a finer grain.

The backlights are near perfect, both displays bleed a little in an 'X' pattern from corner to corner, but this isn't even noticeable on anything but a pure black screen, and hardly so then.

This is the monitor to get for a desktop or lower end workstation if you prefer accurate colors to fast displays. But then, the pixel response is as specified. It's not a cheap TN part with deceptive g2g specifications and outright ignoring of the ISO standards. Many of the TN panels will actually ghost worse than this panel with it's higher pixel response spec.

The colors are amazing.......2005-10-14

The differentiation between the colors is incredible, but this is to be expected with a contrast ratio of 1500:1. I would give it 5 stars if it weren't for fact that response time is a little slow for the fast frame rate of a video game. However, for DVD playback 25ms is just fine. I am mainly using it with the DVI video out of my Mac Mini, but just for kicks I connected it to the DVI out of my Samsung SIR-T165 HD tuner. I set the output on the HD tuner to 720p. The combination of the sharp image from the high resolution HD broadcast, combined with the briliant colors from the high contrast monitor blew my socks off. If it weren't for the fact that I am spoiled with the 60+ inch image from my projector, I would permanently attach the 740T to my HD receiver.
