It's an older version but works just like the new one does, so far anyway.
I set out to purchase the best monitor for the price and after months of research I decided on this one. I find the 16:10 aspect ratio is excellent for coding and just having more space on the screen for applications.
For me, the only way up is to get a 2500x1600 monitor (which are on the $1000 range, a bit out of my budget right now).
Would defiantly recommend these monitors to anyone.
Me and my brother buy our PC usually at the same time, and he gets the same hardware as I have, only he went for 27" 1080p monitors, were I went for the VW266H.
And now every time he is at my home and uses my PC he regretting not also getting 1920x1200 monitor even do he likes the bigger size screens he got now, he really dislikes 1080p.
But to me it dose not look like its a supply problem whit this monitor, more like that EOLed the monitor as it not bin available her in the EU any ware for the last 6 months and only some sparsely VK266H are available
I got E2607WSV-B1 for a friend and seeing that monitor standing next to the VW266H, there was not mouths of a difference between the to of them in picture quality
What monitor did you buy that did not have VESA mounts? Every monitor I have checked in the last 2 years had them, and I mean every monitor.
If you don't need a monitor for color accurate use, such as photography, you really don't need the IPS panels, though. The monitor in this review is pretty amazing for saturation, brightness, and size. If I weren't a photographer, I'd be happy with it. But even with hardware calibration, the white balance is off from the Phillips, and when I print, the Phillips looks just like the print.
I might get one anyway just to see how it looks next to my old Phillips. I feel like the Phillips is too warm, even after calibration though. If I choose a white desktop background, it looks yellowish compared to my other monitors (TN panels). Can you check and see what yours looks like when you choose an all white background?

0.64 0.33 0.21 0.71 0.15 0.06... This is out of the box,no hardware calibration done; I may tweak it down the road but at the moment I LIKE IT AS IS...even my MAC buddies love it....My card is a AMD Radeon? Sapphire 6950 with 2GB Of memory;it has no problem supporting the monitor...
