I've watched movies, played many different PC games (driving, FPS, etc) and spent alot of time surfing and comparing image quality with the Samsung monitor hooked up right next to it. This monitor is just amazing. There is no ghosting in games, the colors are vivid and bright and the ability to switch from the DVI to the VGA connection on the fly makes the Acer 17" LCD monitor meet every expectation I had set forth for it. I was impressed when I first powered it up but after a few weeks of use I cannot say enough about this sub-$200 monitor.
