This monitor is great for gaming and productivity. Response time is much better than my 24" TV while leaving more space for my programs than on the 19" monitor I was previously using. There is a mounting system on the back, but the downside is that the monitor doesn't have a height adjustment or swivel base. Also, the base seems weak, but I don't plan on moving it too often, so it should be found. The picture is really good, but the colors are too cold compared to the previous monitor.
