Wonderful monitor overall, good picture, good price for the feature set, meets all expectations except for one.

The description of the monitor states that the webcam may be rotated, so that a user may adjust their camera angle. There is also a promotional photo further down, under Advanced Connectivity, showing the camera tilted upward. From the text of the initial description:

"With a built-in 2 MP rotatable webcam"

Caveat emptor: the camera is entirely fixed in position, and does not rotate. It is held by one molded piece of plastic, and is part of the overall bezel of the monitor. If the rotation is a selling point for you, do not purchase this model.

Would be a five-star review if not for the deceptive advertising. That's a big no-no.

I purchased this to replace an older 22" ASUS LCD. Picture is bright and vibrant, colors are crisp. Resolution is good, built in web cam is functional but nothing special. Sound is tinny, but that is to be expected for a monitor speaker set. Overall, this is an excellent monitor and well worth the price.

Webcam works fine with Mac, December 1, 2012

I purchased this monitor to replace a tiny 19" LCD. The old LCD still works but I really need a webcam. Instead of buying a standalone webcam, I opted for this combo. It works right out of the box with my Mac Pro (several years old). No software required. Just plug in the USB cord, open Skype and it works. I have used it for a Google hangout with no problem although there was a little bit of initial set up. It would be nice if it has a built-in mic but I guess the sound quality would not be great. I purchased a separate mic and it works fine in combo with the webcam on this monitor for internet calls.

And I love the super wide screen. I don't like the 2-monitor setup. This unit is the perfect size and it doesn't take up as much room as 2 monitors. There is plenty of space to split the screen for 2 windows / applications. I highly recommend it.
