I've had mine over two weeks now. It's awesome but remember that it is a pass through monitor without an AD board.

Thanks!

I have had mine a little over a week, and am very happy with it.
To answer your question the monitor does not have a built in chip to control it.
It uses your graphics card controls to set things like color,tint,vibrance,
you get the idea.
The only setting you can adjust on the monitor are brightness,and the built in speaker volume.
There is no gui interface on the monitor.
You also need a graphics card that supports duel link DVI.
Hope this helps a little.

Oh ok, that makes sense. Thank you. Is that even really much of a disadvantage? Does it put more load on the GPU thus dropping FPS or something like that. There has to be a longer list of cons. This monitor is so cheap its seem to good to be true.

Well it means that you can't connect this type of monitor to a laptop for example. You can only connect it to a valid video card of a PC. Mine is working great! bg8780

I looked for some warranty info but couldn't find anything. Do these monitors come with any warranty?

It depends on where you buy them. I ordered mine via ebay and the warranty is 1 year.

As a rule of thumb don't buy any new monitor without a warranty
