Has anybody compared the readings from this thing to a higher-end RH monitor?

DO NOT BUY!!! It broke within 2 days of purchase. Just totally stopped working. It isn't even worth a dollar.

it wasn't for me as my monitor is older and lower resolution. Do not think you will really notice the difference unless you have a fairly large HD monitor. otherwise the resolution is what it is.

No-the refresh rate is 240hz, not the power used. I don't know the difference, but 240 RR is better than 120RR.

I have not seen such images. So far it's been a great monitor, although I didn't get the full max benefit until I started using DisplayPort cable (Mini-DP to DP). Then clarity, resolution, everything opened up.

That is the true contrast ratio. Other monitors that claim things like 8,000,000:1 are using adaptive dimming and other tricks to attain that. The proof is in the picture, and this monitor has excellent picture. A calibration solution with hardware puck is A MUST though!

I bought 2 of these monitors a week ago and I'm blown away by the quality of the picture compared to the other 5 AOC monitors in my studio. I have had no problems thus far but will repost in a few weeks after I've put them to the test.

I haven't done any tests myself to verify that this monitor is as advertised, so the best I can do is refer you to this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_depth . It explains the definitions, and you can refer the section "Industry Support" for a couple examples of cards that support this.

Mine seems to give accurate readings...instruction sheet in box is fairly clear and easy to follow, even for an old timer like me.

Hey Julie,there's a green light that turns red n i think it also beeps once,but definitely greatest monitor I've tested!

Well, in practice it gives a display at speeds up to 34. How much time lag and how accurate it is relative to the changing bottom I don't know. I also don't know the sample rate. But yes, it'll give you a depth reading at speed.

I am currently using 2560 x 1080 at 60Hz. Monitor is capable of 75Hz at other resolutions.

I don't know. I had a HP rep come and service my new HP Desktop, and he pulled a HD Card out of the computer, which was apparently configured for Tiger Direct, where I bought computer. He said they sold me the wrong monitor, that was why resolution was so bad. The HD card was expecting HD signal, which didn't happen. Monitor is OK now, not as good as I expected, but as good as my old Samsung.

the monitor comes calibrated out of the box, it is actually quite good. but im sure you could use x-rite, but i have never used it to calibrate any screen. so i dont know forsure but calibration out of box is very good, it even comes with a calibration chart in the box

What I noticed most was the text quality. With the VGA connection, text on the 906BW had a smudged, almost shadowed look. On DVI the shadows were gone so the text looked clean and clear.

You may want to look at the review of this monitor over at tftcentral. They cover all the details.
