160 degrees is typical of TN panels.   The Dell i mentioned before is
178 degrees.  

If you want to see what i'm talking about, try getting close to it,
like you were using it as a monitor.  get a single color thing
(cable guide?).  keep your head steady and look at the top and
bottom by moving your eyes.  You'll notice that the single color is
not the same color at the top and bottom as it is in the middle.

Some people don't care; it drives me nuts.  

It's also bad if you're doing photography or anything else where
color matching is important.

glad you like your new toy; that's the important thing.
