I bought this to replace a 19" LCD and am happy with it.
It required a fair amount of tweaking as it was VERY bright and VERY blue out of the box. It was easy enough to correct using my video driver, but no other monitor I have used required so much adjustment. I was actually afraid something was wrong with it, it was so off.
I have an older video card so full screen video does still ghost a little, but smaller video is fine, so I don't think it's the monitor. Both text and images look great and are very sharp.
The only complaint I have is that the viewing angle is VERY narrow. Sitting at my desk it looks great, but if I stand up in front of the monitor the color shifts dramatically and washes out. It does the same thing side to side. My previous Samsung monitor had a much wider viewing angle.
Other than the narrow viewing angle it's a great monitor with plenty of room to keep multiple windows open at once and still have them be readable.

I looked at monitors for nearly a year before purchasing the 2253bw and tested many models in stores. Most displays seemed difficult to read across the entire surface or had rather unnatural color rendering, including the highly rated HP hardware. I mostly just wanted clear, crisp text at small font sizes anywhere on the screen.
This unit is very impressive and delivers a beautiful display in an attractive package. I used the DVI-I cable (that was included) and the default NVidia driver software operating under Windows Vista (matched to the native screen resolution). Similarly, the included stand works fine for me and the tilt adjustment is somewhat important for the best viewing experience. In my environment I have no issue with reflected light or edge bleed, the illumination seems adequately uniform across the entire surface, and there were no stuck pixels.
My only caveat would be that the `out of the box' display settings were pretty terrible (set to way too high intensity). It was necessary to fuss with the menu for a few minutes to get the best quality for my taste. I also made a mistake by trying to read and understand the instruction book - this is one of the rare cases where it is better to put aside the documentation and the included software - a beautiful result can then be achieved very quickly.
Rating: - not a good monitor
this monitor is suck. the text display is horrible. it is not clear. i thought it is my video card problem. i went to circuitcity and found the the same thing. don't suggust to buy this product. i bought hpw2207h instead. it is awesome. the only problem of hp w2207h donesn't have dvi input. i just use vga input.
Rating: - Awesome!
Ordered yesterday and delivered today for FREE shipping through Super Saver. Amazon always delivers in record time and they didn't let me down.
This is my second 2253 monitor and it is beautiful in both display and design.
