Impressed for the price
I purchased this monitor on 2nd Feb and have been very impressed for the price (£118 delivered).
Personally I rather like the clean, unfussy look. Image quality is sharp and I have had no issues with response time or ghosting.
My only negative comments would be that the menu controls are fiddly, though it is unlikely you will be adjusting these often enough for it to be an issue.
The second minor complaint is the inclusion of a VGA lead as oppose to DVI.
Power consumption is just 28w Max which I feel is good for the size. Overall I would recommend.

Great Monitor
Bought one of these for a relative. A great monitor for its price and currently looking at getting one for myself too! The only gripe I would have (as already mentioned above) that only a VGA lead is included. As mentioned, this is only a very minor negative.

But it flickers
60Hz, not much persistence, result misery. I am very disappointed

Picked one of these up on amazon for £98 including VAT and delivery.
Image quality has so far been fine for photo editing, media and gaming. For those interested in gaming who can't run recent games at the native 1920x1080 resolution, the screen holds its sharp image in games at lower resolutions, unlike every other LCD I've owned.
Lack of a DVI cable was summarily fixed for just a couple of pounds added to my order.
