Well if you don't need all the extra connectors (and I don't) then you get the same display for about $110 cheaper than the best sale price on a Dell. What else are you losing? Built-in speakers? I agree that the pixel policy is not ideal though..
No on screen display menu means only basic adjustments; I don't see physical buttons for RGB, Tint, etc., so if it is skewed one way or the other I don't see how you will be able to adjust it. Pixel policy not as good. Wobbly stand that's so weak just touching the buttons causes the monitor to sway around. Stand is not adjustable for tilt or rotation. Reputation for cheap power supplies that fail, and reputation for screens that fail (at least you get a warranty with Monoprice). Reputation for using panels that are rejected by Apple, Dell, etc., for not meeting their quality standards, which probably means poor colors, backlight bleeding, dead pixels, or stuck pixels. Lack of inputs. Lack of USB hub. It won't be factory calibrated like the Dell. Glossy screen acts like a mirror instead of a display unless you are in a dark room. Many complaints about not working with Macs. Poor black levels.
Have you read the reviews on Monoprice?
"As a result, on a flat desktop, my copy of this monitor actually tilts slightly to the right which requires me to stick a wad of paper underneath the right side of the based to straighten things."
"light bleed around the edges"
I love Monoprice
cables because they are inexpensive and TOP QUALITY. I cannot say the same about their monitors, which appear to be designed for the absolute cheapest price possible.
But hey, to each his or her own. If none of this bothers you, go ahead and save the hundred bucks.
