I just got this in a few days ago, and it's so much easier to work with than the 19" widescreen monitors I've been slumming with. The picture is bright and sharp, it has enough inputs to serve multiple functions, and is just a TV tuner away from being an excellent TV.
It came with a remote which is okay, but not really necessary at a computer desk. There's a row of 7 buttons on the right edge of the bezel that control most of the monitor's functions, including a power button at the bottom.
It's also lightweight and compact, so it's easier to use on a cramped desk than one would expect.
