How do you like the monitors?

I'm debating on those or the Dell U2410's for my upcoming build.

I haven't had any problems with them. I do alot of photoshop work and they've been a huge improvement over the TN panel I was using before. I got one of them used, and it had a little bit of back light bleed in the bottom left corner, but that only shows up on completely black backgrounds..and I have it as one of the side monitors so it doesn't really effect me.

I managed to get them all for around $300-$350, so price wise they were a steal.

Forgot to ask, are the bezels flat black or a glossy black?

In other pictures they seemed to be flat black. I would think being flat black they wouldn't be as noticeable in triple monitor set-ups where glossy black might have some reflections/flares.

Thanks for the reply.
