The large viewing area is definately a plus. The biggest drawback is no DVI connection, had to "dummy-down" my Mac's Video output. Colors are good, clarity is good, and of course, the price was great.
from Lakewood, WA on 8/28/2008
Great monitor for PS3 gaming and Blu-ray movie watching. HDMI input works great. Monitor image is without flaws.
from Dallas, TX on 8/27/2008
Overall am very pleased with the monitor. Replaced my 19" CRT monitor and what a space saver! Decided to reconnect other speakers, as the built-in speakers are not great quality and the volume is quite limited. For the price though, I'd buy another one.
from N.J. on 8/27/2008
Excellent product for the price.
from va. on 8/23/2008
great!
from Greenville, South Carolina on 8/22/2008
No problems so far, I have had this about 2 weeks. Purchased in Aug 2008 for 219.00
My rating of 4 stars is a top rating. It really takes a product that is just over the top to get 5.
from Newbury, MA. on 8/21/2008
I enjoy doing embroidery digitizing and needed a bigger screen which is working well with this new monitor. My only problem has been trying to adjust the brightness, height and width so that the images aren't skewed when digitizing. Otherwise I think it's a great product.

from OK on 8/20/2008
Only runs at a very high resolution, which is way too small for my eyes. Updated video card drivers, but no help. I have Hanns G 19" monitors also -- not wide screen -- and they are outstanding. This one just bites.
from SF Bayarea on 8/20/2008
I was looking for a 22" monitor w/ HDMI input (as my Q6600 system does not have Analog/D-Sub out put). Other monitors were 300+ range. When I saw this on sale[$] I jumped on it (as it also had good reviews). So far it is working good from last one month, no dead pixel etc. Overall I found this a good monitor.
from Waseca, MN on 8/20/2008
I could not adjust the aspect ratio without buying a new graphics card--more expense. I think it will be a nice monitor but I wish I would have known that ahead of time.
from Crescent City, CA on 8/20/2008
This is a primary monitor on a dual monitor system. I do a lot of photography, and the color is excellent. No dead or stuck pixels. Text is blurry unless the resolution is set at 1680 x 1050, which is fine on a screen this size. The built in speakers are weak and tinny, but I always use external speakers, so its ok. If I needed another monitor, this is definitely the one I would buy.
from Ann Arbor, MI on 8/20/2008
It's definitely a value buy. View angle is a little too shy. One dead pixel showed up after 2 weeks. But it's not a big deal when you pay less than[$]for this size of screen.
from Walnutport, Pa on 8/20/2008
Great clear picture didn't use the sound hook-ups cause i got speakers already
from NJ on 8/20/2008
I'm using the Hanns-G with a Dell desktop machine for mainly business applications and using the VGA connection. After 3 weeks I'm very happy with this purchase. No dead pixels, good color and contrast. Of course I don't have a side by side comparison with another 22" monitor, so I find this monitor very acceptable.
from Las Vegas, NV on 8/20/2008
Nice large screen, just wish it would adjust vertically.
from Westbury, NY on 8/1/2008
I love this screen because of the HDMI input. I can connect my cable box directly to it. I use it as a PC screen and a HDTV. Great Picture for the price, and the 3 year warranty is great also..
from Aurora, CO on 7/2/2008
If you want a monitor with HDMI and that has good resolution, best bang for your buck!!
from Umatilla, FL on 6/28/2008
This monitor is almost perfect! Solved the glaring power indicator light by covering it with a post-it note!
from Arlington, Virginia on 6/26/2008
great product, get it to save space for a huge monitor(depth wise)
from Frederick, MD on 6/25/2008
Bought 2 for a dual monitor setup to replace my Dell 2000fp's (one went out). Image quality was terrible! Returned them.
Great value for everyday use.
from new york on 6/21/2008
i think its a great product
from Fond du Lac, WI on 6/20/2008
The first one was damaged [...] The frame was cracked, but the display looked good. Staples was very quick to correct [...] Process was easy. The second display arrived in good shape. I am using the analog connection, and have not been dissapointed. Very affordable and great quality. No dead pixels or other problems.
from Fairfax, VA on 6/20/2008
Excellent product worked great from day one. No dead pixels no problems of any kind. This is the second Hanns G monitor I own, and I have yet to be dissappointed. My other one is a 19" that I use at work and it has been working great for two years.
from union, nj on 6/20/2008
for the price, i can not complain of any defects so far.
from Columbus, OH on 6/20/2008
got one for my gf, since her MacBook is only 13' big. she loves it, and I'm happy~
from Lehigh Acres Fl. on 6/20/2008
excellent buy, im sooo happy with this monitor, the only thing i dont like about it is the stand does not adjust vertically.
from Wayne, NJ on 6/19/2008
It goes on well with my PS3.
from Redmond, WA on 6/19/2008
Hanns-G HG216D HDMI monitor provides the value for the money. Easy setup & using it with both Vista 64-bit & XP Pro.
from San Jose, CA on 6/19/2008
I paid $200 for this monitor plus tax so can't really complain much. The quality is OK, it has hdmi which I use for xbox360 and my pc. But switching inputs is a chore as there is no dedicated button for it. The stand is not height-adjustable.
from Rutherford, NJ on 6/19/2008
we use the monitor hooked up to a dvd player or laptop. works fine. there is a blue "on" light that's distracting.
from Connecticut on 6/19/2008
Good value priced monitor, but prices for better monitors are dropping fast to make them more competitive.
from Missoula, MT on 6/19/2008
Very good and affordable monitor.

from Moorpark, CA USA on 6/19/2008
I'm thrilled with this LCD monitor and have no complaints. The reviews it had received from other users pushed me towards it and I don't regret that. I added an adjustable Ergotron monitor stand to replace the factory one and could not be happier.
from Philadelphia, PA on 6/19/2008
Great value - great product
from . on 6/19/2008
The pros were that it was cheap and a pretty good monitor. Response time is quick, although I don't do that much gaming.
The cons was that the power button placement is at the bottom of the monitor, unlike a lot of monitors that I have used. So when I first got the monitor I kept pressing the 'G' button which is the light to tell you that it is on.
I use this primarily to watch TV in my guest room and to play some games, does its job can't really complain about it.
from Illinois on 6/19/2008
I was very pleased with this monitor. I think we got a great value for the money. No complaints at all. The quality seems just fine for us.
from Kennett Square, PA on 5/20/2008
The biggest problem when writing programs is that you don't have enough screen space for all the windows that you want open - this monitor solves that problem and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. The day I got the first one I quickly went to Staples Wed Site and ordered a second one.
I'm not one who plays games, so I couldn't rate it for that, but for business it's great.
from Lovell, Maine on 5/8/2008
huge monitor, great price, so far so good, no problems

Got it yesterday - no dead pixels - everything works - looks good. This deal is almost too good to be true. We'll have to see how long this thing lasts.

from Montgomery AL on 4/30/2008
Picked this one up from Staples.com for much less than the MSRP and I absolutely love the sharp colors, the crisp text (provided you run it at 1680x1050), and the decent black levels. The screen is plenty bright, but won't burn out your retinas either.
First person shooters look gorgeous on this screen, so long as you enable VSYNC... otherwise you'll see moving horizontal bars of varying darkness.
My only con with this monitor is the stuck pixels... my first one had a bright green stuck pixel that would not go away after the usual methods, and after a quick exchange I now have one with a dim red stuck pixel... not sure if it's worth the hassle of returning it again or not at this point. Great monitor otherwise.

I use it at home.

I got this monitor on discount, but it is still worth its original price. It has HDMI port, on top of VGA, which makes it great for multiple devices. Bright picture and good response time. Great as a desktop monitor, console monitor or even if you want to hook your high def. DVD to it. Only thing I wish it had is multiple HDMI, not a big deal.

Good specs, for off brand I think it is high quality. Has odd 2nd input for 2 monitor support.

from State College, PA on 4/4/2008
Mine did come with a stuck pixel but those are easily fixable. If you do not know how to fix a stuck pixel, all you need to do is get a q-tip, something to cover the pixel on monitor, and software you get get for free on the net, search "stuck pixel fixer" and run the pixel fixer and lightly rub the pixel with the q-tip and will become unstuck. Occasionally works on dead pixels as well.
from Willamette Valley, Oregon on 4/1/2008
The first monitor that came had a blown pixel. [...]The second monitor was perfect. Crisp picture, vivid colors, great contrast. Coming from a 19" LCD, I use this as a gaming screen. Use with a nVidea GeForce card. Lot's of fun!
from Ballwin, MO on 3/28/2008
Better than I expected for the price. I have no complaints about it whatsoever, I am very pleased with it even though my HDMI to DVI cable hasn't arrived yet, so I'm using a DVI to D-sub cable it still looks fantastic![...]
from Columbia, MD on 3/22/2008
Great monitor for the price...for mainly work-related activities...no gaming! This monitor is well worth your money. As far as working on XP, it's plug and play...don't worry!
from Austin, TX on 3/18/2008
Initial VGA to DVI hookup resulted in slight vertical "waves" that moved at a slow speed upwards on the screen. This effect was most apparent on grey/black/white gradient or solid backgrounds. However, after hooking up the HDMI to DVI cable, quality has been perfect. So, just a warning to those who are thinking about purchasing: ensure that you plan to use HDMI, otherwise go with a different monitor.
from San Francisco , CA on 3/18/2008
This LCD monitor is excellent. Good quality and great value for this price.
It's a great monitor for the money. Pic looks good even with a vga cable. Will be getting a dvi-hdmi cable for the digital pic.
from Gurnee IL on 3/12/2008
Very Dissapointing monitor
from Maryland on 3/11/2008
Great value. The colors are beautiful and vivid. Makes gaming much more fun!
from Utah on 3/9/2008
I was pleasantly surprised at the clarity and brightness of this monitor. I had no experience with this brand and so only purchased when a good deal came along. I've since heard from others that the brand has a deservedly good reputation.
from IL on 3/9/2008
I have purchased 3 of these monitors. All 3 had both dead and lit pixels. When they were on sale they were affordable enough that I let it go, but still a huge annoyance. One of the units went crazy when I turned it on for the first time[...]
from Brooklyn New York on 3/8/2008
I had a 17 inch monitor and i purchased this widescreen lcd monitor I am very happy with it.
from Las Vegas, NV on 3/8/2008
Wish I didnt have to wait for the rebate to come back but it is what it is ! !
from Califon, NJ on 3/8/2008
It is so much easier on my eyes than my 17" LCD, and the value is excellent.
from Globe, AZ on 3/8/2008
Works Perfectly
from Seminole on 3/7/2008
I bought this for my son and he is very pleased with it. The size is great (I'd like those extra two inches too!!).
The only disappointment is the speakers that have a metallic sound.
I am a Mac user myself and my iMac has speakers, microphone, CD/DVD all incorporated in the screen. The sound quality is fab. I probably expected the same from this cheap monitor and it's not the case at all. So we ended up hooking the old speakers again...... but that's the only downfall I may think of.
from ann arbor, MI on 3/7/2008
function adjustments are easy and placed well
from Utah on 3/7/2008
Staples solicited this rating when I had the product only of few weeks, but if it keeps working like it is for the next few years, then it's a great monitor for the price.
from Minneapolis, MN. on 3/7/2008
good computer for the money. I Paid [$] after rebate. Only worked in one view setting. I can have many windows viewable with this moniter.
