Excellent – Apart from the Compaq problem, this is a great monitor. Works very well with my Pioneer laptop. Nice, crisp display. Stylish design, looks great on my desk at work. Highly recommend it, especially for the price. The widescreen design is great if you are used to working with more than one window at once. The width is great for comparing Word documents side by side. The flat circular base stand gives me somewhere to rest a family photo too. Had issues with getting a Compaq Presario B1900 to work with it properly (suffers from bad flicker/movement of text & images) ... and I work in I.T!
