Looking for a really good surround monitor setup without breaking the bank?

I purchased a refurb model from Newegg and this thing is flawless. No blemishes I have found on this one. Though the packaging had me a little apprehensive on the condition I would find it in, it arrived in as new condition. It states it has a digital output for sound which it does not. Only the headphone out. Though it can only receive a digital sound signal via the HDMI inputs the output is analog stereo. It is still a nice feature to be able to control the sound source through the screen if needed. Maybe this would matter more if there were a remote. I would have really liked a truly digital spdif coax or fiber optic out to pass through multi-channel signals via the source but alas this is not so. No built in crappy speakers but that gives you the beauty of the slimmed down design. I really like the behind the screen control button found on the rear lower right of the unit as it is really easy to use (with just 2 fingers access every option and control easily first time) and keeps the front bezel nice thin and uncluttered. This monitor would be a perfect option for a multi-screen surround setup. The lack of built in speakers is a plus for this as well. This is a 60hz max refresh monitor. I couldn't find any documentation when I was researching the monitor but I pretty much figured since it was lacking in any description and the cost was low this would be the case. Thus the 4 star picture rating I give it. It does have a fast response time and looks super crisp and clear. They did not skimp on the built in options to adjust your viewing preferences. All around this thing has an awesome picture and it's really easy to use. Super light yet doesn't feel or look cheap and the multiple source input means it has a little more versatility than just being strictly a PC monitor. Overall very good value for the money. I may be buying 2 more real soon if this deal holds out.Read full review
