I bought it. It arrived from newegg in less than 48 hours. After using
it for a week, I really like it. I'm using DVI for the first time
(samsung TFT didn't have DVI), but I don't notice much difference,
although the screen is nice and bright and clear.

No dead pixels. Max resolution is 1280x1024, which I am using. It's
really great for software  development.

One thing about this monitor (AOpen 19") is that it is very warm for
an LCD. My Samsung 15" SynMaster 570V TFT feels almost room
temperature on the screen and the vents, whereas this monitor produces
noticeable heat.  The instruction booklet says power consumption for
the AOpen is 55W. For the Samsung, 25W.

Yep.

It does.

It is.
