They look nice but....

These screens might have aswell arrived DOA. I can't use either of the two i purchased because i have a dual boot OS, and these screens wont show boot screens. This has something to do with the internal bios of the screens. And its borderline DOA when...

The screens seem to be pretty high quality, 1600x900 looks crisp and clean.

Oh boy where do i start... The Neck is non detachable, so wall mounting will look dumb Neither of the two monitors i purchased will show boot screens on my pc, So i have to hook up an old CRT every time i restart just to boot, Which almost makes these...

Good monitor

Inexpensive Gem

None.

Nice price, decent monitor

Price, got this on sale for $60

Don't expect any decent sound from this monitor. But it has speakers if you need it.

Shipped with D-Sub cable.

List what it actually ships with. My GPU doesn't have a D-Sub port.

Looks good.

Have to wait to use it until I can get a DVI or HDMI connector to use, didn't say what it was shipping with.
