Yeah, Anandtech has a good review of this monitor (http://anandtech.com/show/7240/monoprice-zerog-slim-27-ips-monitor-review) No backlight control, and while the panel might be good in theory the electronics are poor. Of course, its cheap, too. <br />But if you are going to connect it to Displayport, factor in the cost of a DP -> DVI adapter. They're expensive.
