Good!

 

Sharp,clear text,pictures. No dead pixels, No backlight bleeding. Round adjust buttons much better than flat buttons like the 720N. Comes with both cables plus power cord

Took me a while to adjust brightness and color tones. Windows default colors like Grey had reddish-brown tint. Stand is a little loose from side to side
