Looks like they have replaced the pva panels with tn's and reduced the resolution and the price.

Not bad but not in the same category as the 2405fpw of old.

wow 16:9...interesting

It might be good to put that it's a 16:9 Panel in the title as opposed to 16:10. Manufacturers are all going to be moving to 16:9 soon because they're cheaper to produce. Kind of sucks since you're losing out on a lot of vertical height and having more horizontal pixels isn't going to help when looking at most websites. But if you're going to be using this to watch Highdef movies or movies in general then it should be pretty good.

How to know it uses va panel technology or TN panel technology? thanks.

^It's not overrated if you use the monitor for color-critical things, such as graphic design or photography. If you're using it for games, then no it doesn't matter. I for one will probably never buy a TN panel because it doesn't meet my needs.

I really don't understand the complaints about ~120 less vertical pixels. I don't get why widescreen monitors were even 16:10 to begin with. I have a 900px vertical display on my laptop and I can use the internet just fine. If anything, I stack my windows horizontally so more space for that is welcome. Ultimately, they aren't cutting any pixels. They're just being reallocated horizontally to the standard 16:9 HD format.

My brother purchased this model last week and after seeing it in person, I will be buying it as well.
