I'd give it a very good. The picture is very clear and crisp. The only issue I experienced was the auto adjust every single time I boot into Windows. There is about 3 seconds of flicker and shifting. I made this my orimary monitor and I made my Fujitsu widescreen my secondary since the color was so much better on the Dell. It was extremely easy to hook up. Thumbs up.
This wide screen monitor, although looks small at first, was plenty big for me. To get the best picture, one should take advantage of the digital video cable and input port. Of course, one must have a digital output on his video card. Although I only had the analog port, the clarity was still noticeable. I would suggest that the driver on the accompanied disk is installed as well. Then, configure the best solution that supports the wide screen feature. If I had to do this over, I would have gone for the 24" screen instead. But, this size works just as well.
