Summary: Great monitor, excellent graphics, small desk space
Review: I've owned this monitor now for 2+ years, and I've never been happier. It really takes up the same space as a 15"! And with an above average video card (geforce2), you can get flicker free resolution refresh rates, and definitely reduced my eyestrain.

The graphics are sharp, the text is clear, and the colors crisp. Some of the other reviewers had problems with the GS790, but I didn't. I suspect that when they purchased the monitor, they used regular ground shipping. I always pay extra for 2-3 delivery, as that implies special handling from UPS or Fedex. Having the greatest monitor but having it go thru conveyer belts during shipping may damage it, or shorten the life of a monitor.

I've used this monitor for 3D work, games, and business functions. And it has performed beautifully and I've never been happier. The only way I'll give this monitor up is when the 21" viewpanel drops down in price.

Summary: This monitor is pretty incredible....
Review: This is an excellent monitor, HOWEVER, there is a single dark pixel about 2/3 from the left about a half inch from the top of the monitor (usually can't be seen -- and just the luck of the draw). Also, the 1600x1200 mode is just too darn tiny, and adjusting Windows to larger fonts, etc. does not work well because of WINDOWS. It just doesn't scale well. 1280x1024 is beautiful and the short neck design is amazing. It sits the same distance from my face as my old 15" montior and both were pushed all the way to the wall. Also consider the GS771 or the PS775 or even the E771.

Summary: Still running like a charm!
Review: This monitor has been great being over four years old. It was manufactured in Oct1998. I'm sure there are many power users for monitors and there is always the issue of cutting on and off or using a screen saver. This monitor has been through hell. I don't waste power or use power saving, it's the on/off switch. I also use it average 5 to 15 hours a day, depending on what game I'm playing. I also use this as a power monitor with a 4 port KVM switch and switch through 3 computers contiuously when working online. This monitor has taken the regular abuse of being moved over seven times and being hit on occation, depending on how bad I'm doing at the game I'm playing. I would buy this monitor as a replacement today since it is out of production, mine was around $650.
