This looks VERY tempting. Currently on a Samsung 22" at 1680x1050. All the 24" monitors I can find only go 1920x1080 and not 1920x1200. I bet it's impressive to look at!

Well i bought one this week, im very impressed. No dead pixels and minimal backlight bleed (my previous hanspree 28" had lots of backlight bleed).
Ive set my brightness and contrast to 35 for now and it looks ok but still needs to be tweaked a little but im very happy

Just purchased one of these and i'm very satisfied, i have my PC, Xbox and a PS3 connected and the only bad thig i can say is it's a bit of a pain to use the buttons to change inputs.
recommended!

How do you get on with the aspect ratio on the PS3 and Xbox?
I couldn't stop it stretching the vertical picture. I was expecting it to show the true 1080 picture with black bars at the top and bottom. I tried the different aspect settings in the menu but it made no difference. I gave up in the end. Now I just use it on my PC.
I'm still very happy with it though.

Just out of interest, anyone running one of these in a dual monitor setup?

Can anyone comment on what 720p and 1080p looks like on this Monitor? Since Uncharted 2 etc only run Native at 720p, and also what is it like for Movies due to it having aspect Ratio of 16:10?

Its not bad although you get black borders top and bottom.

Definitely thinking about buying one of these. Is it reasonably easy to balance the colours out on this? I know people have said they can be a bit washed out now and again.

I was really considering one of these, but there are just too many complaints. There is nothing worse than an RMA.. I just couldnt be arsed with it.... although if the initial problems with the back ligh bleed has now gone, I would reconsider... So, has it gone?

The people with the problems all had the older version and should'nt have posted in this thread. It's a very good monitor and i am chuffed to bit's with mine. No ghosting, no dead pixels, no backlight bleed and with a bit of tweaking it has good rich colours.

Ive had the old monitor with the backlight bleed issues and im currently using the new one and the backlight bleed issues are fixed i can confirm

So, backlight bleed is definitely not an issue with this new version? I am thinking about this monitor, or the Iiyama ProLite E2607WSD (which apparently has better colours etc), and I want to make sure I get the best possible monitor!
Going from a Samsung SM226BW (which has very good colours), so want something good
Is it reasonably easy to tweak to get good colours? Read some comments on here, and someone said the Iiyama had better colours the the SM226. But people seem to be able to get good colours with some tweaking on this Hanns G.

Thanks very much Bigbruiseral for the mini review.
I've got a Samsung 226BW at the moment so it would be a BIG step up in terms of size but this old Sammy has still got excellent colours for a TN panel.
You've left me with a dilemma.
Do I stick with the old 22" Sammy with 1680x1050 resolution, a 2ms response and good colours or do I move up to 27.5" with 1920x1200, 3ms response and "ok" colours?
Doh!
The agony of choice. The Hanns G is calling me
This type of sound? Did anyone try it yet?

I read about the Bleed issue in another thread when I searched for the Hanns G.. but if that problem has been eradicated then I am really interested in getting the Hanns G... the research will continue!
What are you asking
?Well i started this thread moons ago and confirm that it still has no ghosting or bleed and the colours are better with 200+ hours playtime on them, would defo buy another one

Did you make a lot of changes to the colours BigBruiserAl?

I don't think anybody that has the new version has backlight bleed. I had a Belinea 10 19 27 (19" 1280x1024) before this and that was one of the best gaming monitors you could buy when i got it. This HannsG is better in every way. It really did'nt take much tweaking to get the colours and other settings right. Out of the box the screen is so bright but that only took a few changes to put right. I used this to calibrate the screen. I can't see me getting rid of this screen for a long long time. I just love it.

Thanks for the information mate
Seems like it was just an issue with the old version.
No mate not really just had a fiddle for 20min, didt use any software so im sure if you put the time they woud look even better
