Consumer review (newegg.com)

Great monitor but...

 

For the most part I would recommend this monitor but I would be weary of it arriving with an issue like mine did with the dead pixel. Not enough to knock an egg off but it is highly noticeable.

So far I love the monitor even though I just got it today. It makes my old monitor look really dim.

The Only problem I have with it is that it arrived with a dead pixel. I get that it happens from time to time but it's still annoying to see since it's so obvious and the fact the monitor is supposed to be brand new.

Worth The Money

 

Working great under HDMI. I did lower the brightness under my NVIDA settings.

Great deal, works well. Comes with HDMI port, DVI port, and VGA port. Working well as a dual monitor with my other 24inch

The stand is not the best to put together, but its fine once it made. The power cord is just a basic PC power cord, wish it had more length, but I got it set up nicely. The ports are a pain, but don’t let that put you off. The monitor is BRIGHT! So you...

Happy with my purchase

 

No dead pixels, nice image and excellent price. Easy to assemble.

Was too bright for me out of the box but that was easily fixed.

Incredible Value - Outstanding Color and Sharpness.

 

First a little note to Siddharth (above somewhere): The ISO industry standard for dead, dim, and/or bright pixels for monitors of this size (1920x1080) is TEN pixels. Also, the number of pixel problems in the corners is more tolerable to manufacturers...

Everything.

None.

Decent

 

I bought it for a great price and I don't regret it, but I managed to get some Dell monitors for the same price a few months ago that are much nicer.

Decent color reproduction, bright backlight, has HDMI.

Backlight is almost too bright, even at the lowest setting. Pretty bad black levels. Bought 2, one came with 2 stuck pixels right at the center of the screen.

Awesome Screen for a great price!

 

Lots of adjustments, nice quality out of box. Mine has zero dead pixels that I can see while I write this review. All in All I am pleased with the value. Color quality looks as good as my HP 22" IPS that I purchased recently. I'm using this as my...

Very bright display, even against my IPS 22" screen which is now being used as a second screen, with the IPS at 90% brightness I have to set this screen to 60% to have similar white levels. While the native brightness may be good for using it to look...

Not IPS, but really who's counting, viewing angles are quite good for desktop usage. No adjustment for vertical up down which can be nice for concealing cables and lining up with other screens without using an aftermarket stand.

I would recommend this as an excellent multipurpose monitor.

Color and clarity is outstanding for the price, the size and connection options makes its very versatile
