I've used one of these monitors for about 6 months now and have been very pleased with it. I use it mostly for a computer monitor, both for computing and to play downloaded videos, and have hooked it up to my Blu-Ray player. (A Samsung player, the remote can run both the player and TV.) Haven't watched too much TV on it, but it does seem to work pretty well with local stations even with a simple folded dipole antenna.
For some reason, the DVI input from the computer seems to work better than the HDMI, which doesn't have quite as sharp an image which shows up on small computer text and other high-contrast elements. Not sure if that's the monitor's fault or the computer's, but I use the HDMI for the Blu-Ray. Pixel resolution is excellent, and the detail from a good video source will knock your socks off. Color resolution is not quite as good, with lack of levels sometimes noticed in the shadows, but is perfectly adequate 98% of the time. Angle of view is narrower than some other LCD technologies, but fine for a single viewer in my opinion.
I bought this originally for use in a trailer (VESA mounted) for computer and video work while camping. It would be perfect if it ran on 12 volts DC, but using a small inverter and keeping the backlight brightness down to conserve power makes for a home-theater experience for just a little bit more electricity. The monitor goes back in the house after a trip, and I like the picture so much that I have almost stopped using the big-screen TV for most of my home video watching. A 23-inch on the coffee table in front of you covers about as much viewing angle as a big-screen on the opposite wall, and it's much more convenient and energy efficient. Combine the features of this display with its size and it's a combination that fits my needs very well.

Bought this HDTV based on reviews. After assembling and attaching the stand (very simple assembly), up-righted the TV to a shelf. Immediately noticed one side of the frame was lower than the other. Re-assembled and re-attached the stand three times. Same crooked result. Got a tape measure; left side of TV was between 1/2 and 1/4 inch lower than the right side, making the screen and frame tilt to the left. Tried different surfaces, thinking maybe the shelf was warped. Same crooked result. Re-assembled and re-attached the stand for a fourth time. Same crooked result. Returned the TV for a refund. Measured the TV on display. Same crooked result; left side of the screen almost 1/2 inch lower than the right. Salesperson said they had "several other returns" for same reason: a cheap plastic stand that causes the TV to appear crooked, once stand is attached. This would not be a concern when mounting TV on a wall. But for a TV this size, most people would install and use the stand. Sorry, but not going to buy a new TV only to have to treat it like a wobbly table in a restaurant and prop it up with a sugar packet for a straight and horizontal viewing experience. Not recommended.

This item is perfect I can use the computer watch cable in HD and play my PS3 all in my office and not pay all that money for an HD TV in the living room where my kid and wife hogs up all of the TV like this one should have gotten one sooner.

I bought this mainly for a monitor thinking I could do two things at once, like keep the tv on and work on the computer. It works just like I hoped, maybe better. I open SageTV (or sometimes WinTV) on one half of monitor and do my internet or other work on the other half. Was able to get rid of a stand-alone TV and free up some desk space. It also makes a great TV all by itself when I switch to just that mode. It picks up three HDTV channels without an antenna but an HDTV antenna is my next purchase.
My only regret is not buying a 24 or 25 inch monitor, but this one seems to be a nice size that's not too big for my desk, but big enough to do all that I need.

The P2370HD is an exceptional monitor for people with modest demands of their display. On the plus side, it has very good colour for a TN-type panel (more on this in a second), absolutely fantastic connection options, one of te fastest displays in current availability and a bright, vibrant picture which is only offset by a merely-average black level and some backlight bleed with extremely dark images (helped by Dynamic Contrast but not in all situations). It lacks a pivot, a terrible omission, but is still fairly stable on its (non-adjustable) base. It connects to 4:3 and 16:9 sources, even composite and component SD sources, as well as HDMI, DVI and VGA sources (but DualLink DVI-D is strongly advised), and the 1920x1080 native resolution is perfect for 16:9 movies and BluRay.
Thus, if you simply need a very good TV or home computer display, stop reading now and get out your credit card. However, this is only a *fair* monitor for professional photo or graphics work. Like all TN displays, it suffers from slight but significant changes in gamma when viewed more than a few degrees off-axis, and even at 6500 K has a teensy pink tinge which can be compensated for with good colour calibration, but with a corresponding reduction in gamut. Despite sRGB's 2.2 gamma, this monitor performs much better closer to 1.8 or to its native gamma of 2.7+. There is also faint banding on grey ramp tests which is to be expected from a 6-bit display, again compensatable by compressing the dynamic range, but then it also takes away from the contrast range the monitor has to offer. Incidentally, don't use Dynamic Contrast when connected to your PC or Mac, it's really very distracting. Adjust the contrast and brightness yourself.
Note that all of the things I've complained about will go completely unnoticed by probably 90% of customers and this monitor outperforms a great many lesser displays which show problems similar to this much worse, which is why I gave it the four-star rating. However, for the 10% of us who need a colour-perfect display and can tolerate a slightly slower speed, an IPS panel would be strongly advised, even for a display that is (for a TN) as good as this one. While I'm keeping mine to use as -- surprise! -- a television set, I'll be buying an IPS panel for my photo work. But everybody else will love it.
