Avoid SOYO refurbished items [Posted on 2008-05-26]
I bought this monitor from an online retailer as refurbished for $199. I understand the risks with refurbished products, but they should at least be reconditioned to working order. Well, it worked for one day then broke. It would not remain on at all, so I had to send it back to the retailer and I was out $$ for shipping costs.

Soyo sells these units to retailers as REFURBISHED when they are BROKEN. Period. Many others I know bought these same monitors and many had black lines on the screen, tons of dead pixels, cracks, etc... No excuse for this, they sold BROKEN items as REFURBISHED to these retailers who sold to us.

Really Awesome [Posted on 2008-06-08]
I had this monitor for 6 months now and i love it, i run Mac OS and Windows. It has bright colors and its freakin' HUGE and at a great price. i am thinking about buying another one and setting them up side by side.

Good monitor for the price [Posted on 2008-07-14]
This is a large, widescreen monitor that has worked well for me. Other users have reported bad pixels and other problems. I have been using mine heavily on a daily basis for almost a year now without any difficulty.

The monitor does get rather hot - the heat can be felt radiating from the screen surface when one holds a hand close to it. There is also a slight flicker, which is hardly noticeable. Be aware that this monitor is cheaply manufactured. However, I am quite happy with it.

I have also had problems with the monitor reporting the wrong supported resolutions and refresh rates. This resulted in Windows only allowing up to 1600x1200 (Vista x64, nVidia GeForce 8400M GS), and fullscreen games failing with "signal out of range". If anyone else has these problems, they can be solved with a custom monitor.inf; I have written one and made it freely available here:

I regularly use this monitor for both work (programming) and movies:
1) Work - the 1920x1200 screen resolution is excellent for multitasking.
2) Movies - this monitor looks good from different angles, and the speakers work fine (though they're not terribly loud).

Overall, a decent product at an excellent price.

Aside from a dead pixel or two it's good [Posted on 2008-07-22]
Low price, good color, but the occasional annoying dead pixel as I was warned about in other reviews. I returned the 22" Soyo monitor because it had 5 dead pixels. The new exchange monitor is the 24" screen, and still has one dead pixel, but it's no big deal-- I've already forgotten about it-- as it's often hidden by icons on my desktop. I called Soyo to discuss. They answered the phone quickly and the tech support person was helpful and hopefully correct when he said that dead pixels do not hamper overall performance and do not affect life span of the monitor. The controls are a bit wacky in that the manual says the brightness control is next to the contrast, but it is not. (You have to go to Miscellaneous category to find the brightness.) I'm using the monitor on an Intel iMac and it works well in both the Mac and PC environments. I'm keeping this one.

Bought one a week ago..and returned a week later for an HP. [Posted on 2008-07-28]
My son bought this for me a week ago. I trust his judgement since he's an IT engineer. I've never heard of SOYO before this but he reassured me they were good products at a very inexpensive price. I believe I have the latest model SOYO dylm24e6. The specs seem to be the same as the d6 with the exception of the the response time which is 2ms and the only difference I can see is the placement of the SOYO logo. The e6 has it in the middle of the bezel. If you don't look carefully the first time you might think it says Sony. The monitor is very user friendly, has great color for still pictures and graphics, the moving video is ok. There is one dead pixel on the upper left corner of the screen but can only be seen in scenes that have a dark background, otherwise you can't even tell it's there. I hope I get a long life out of this monitor. It does not look expensive as an HP or Samsung or other top names but the picture is outstanding.,,,until I tried some movies and text. Don't let the resolution numbers fool you. I took it back and exchanged it for an HPW2207H that is a 22in and the resolution is 1680x 1050 and the picture is way better than the SOYO. The text is sharp and it also has many more features and looks expensive. The screen can be easily lifted to any position and also turned 90 degrees for a portrait screen which is very useful for viewing documents and typing letters. It also came with an HDMI cable and also a VGA cable plus has a DVI input and two USB inputs. The screen can be set to view games, text, photos, movies, and you can change the color temp or adjust the RGB separately. None of these functions were available on the SOYO. I only paid the difference as the HP was more expensive but it was on sale. For 21 dollars more I ended up with what I wanted originally and the quality is way higher.
