If possible, check it out in person ... I've yet to be impressed with the performance of any LCD under motion ... Although the energy and space conservation is a huge plus ...
 
The viewing angle is a little narrow, the pixel pitch is the larger size and it doesn't have a HDMI or Firewire input/output. Other than that, how well do images look on it? At 1,310,720 pixels, it might not be enough for HD video considering my HDTV set has over 2 million and is 4 years old. Will it be enough for you? A lot of people don't care. Do the colors look good? But, usually, LCDs do have great color. I wouldn't buy it until you see what it can do.

Hyundai make LCD monitors? That's a new one for me.
 
It's got a good contrast ratio, as well as a decent viewing angle when compared to those in that price range. The refresh rate is typical for that style monitor, though. I'd say for that price, it's not too shabby.
 
Who cares about the quality? IT ROTATES!!!!!!!! BUY IT!!!! :lol:

Just kidding, i wouldn't buy any monitor unless you've seen the quality in person, especially with it being a hyundai
 
What's the difference between TFT and LCD moniters by the way? TFT's are much cheaper and they look very similair to LCD's...
 
found the answer at whatis.com:

A display screen made with TFT (thin-film transistor) technology is a liquid crystal display (LCD), common in notebook and laptop computers, that has a transistor for each pixel (that is, for each of the tiny elements that control the illumination of your display). Having a transistor at each pixel means that the current that triggers pixel illumination can be smaller and therefore can be switched on and off more quickly.

TFT is also known as active matrix display technology (and contrasts with "passive matrix" which does not have a transistor at each pixel). A TFT or active matrix display is more responsive to change. For example, when you move your mouse across the screen, a TFT display is fast enough to reflect the movement of the mouse cursor. (With a passive matrix display, the cursor temporarily disappears until the display can "catch up.")

An LCD is made with either a passive matrix or an active matrix display display grid. The active matrix LCD is also known as a thin film transistor (TFT) display. The passive matrix LCD has a grid of conductors with pixels located at each intersection in the grid. A current is sent across two conductors on the grid to control the light for any pixel. An active matrix has a transistor located at each pixel intersection, requiring less current to control the luminance of a pixel. For this reason, the current in an active matrix display can be switched on and off more frequently, improving the screen refresh time (your mouse will appear to move more smoothly across the screen, for example).

Some passive matrix LCD's have dual scanning, meaning that they scan the grid twice with current in the same time that it took for one scan in the original technology. However, active matrix is still a superior technology.
 
Unfortunately, I don't know of any stores that stock this monitor, so I can't see it in person.

I don't have any HDTVs in the house and won't for a long, long time, if ever, so I wont ever buy an expensive HDTV receiver. As for the color, I'm going off of the Tom's Hardware review, which was very good and they said the color was excellent.
