I'm pleased with it. It's sharp, the colors are bright and bold, blacks are solidly black. Viewing angle is more than adequate. Its built-in card reader gets on with my Mac, and the side of the monitor is a more convenient location than under the table. It's got lots of kinds of video input, probably making it as future proof as reasonably possible (I buy computers much more often than I do monitors).
It doesn't have built-in speakers. Not an issue for me; it might be for you.
It is at the expensive end of the range - you could get a 24" monitor for somewhere around half as much, but reviews left me believing that you get what you pay for.
Having physically bigger pixels than my previous monitor produced an illusion: I felt initially like I had less screen space, even though it had both more pixels and occupied a wider field of view. The reason, I assume, is that my mind judges these things by looking at the size of text, icons, etc, which were bigger (because the pixels were bigger - 1200 high in both cases but the new monitor is deeper). A powerful illusion: I had to reduce the speed of my trackball to cope.
