I bought this monitor only because I had money to spare and wanted a second monitor but I didn't have enough money to buy the larger ASUS monitor that I had my eye on. As for this monitor itself, well it's not bad and I have very few complaints about it since I have been using it for well over a month now and have used it for gaming as well as video watching. My first gripe is the color accuracy, I know that this is a cheap monitor so I wasn't expecting it to be perfect but I did have to calibrate the color out of the box to make the colors less red and yellow tinted. My second gripe is that this monitor also does not have height adjustment, which is something that would really make this monitor great for use at my desk. Anything else I could complain about is trivial and really shouldn't be mentioned as it won't really be noticeable. Now as far as how good this monitor is, well I'm impressed. I have used really bad monitors and I have used some really great 4K panels and I must say that for the price I paid (129.99 on sale) it really can't be beat. I mean honestly it has an IPS screen which is offers decent color reproduction (again once calibrated using a tool) with wide viewing angles which is a must with the setup I currently have. The bezels around the edges are also very nice, they are not as thin as I would like but they are designed so that they are in line with the rest of the screen so it makes it look uniform. There are some decent ports that offer a wide range of display connectivity from VGA, DVI-D, and HDMI but sadly no DisplayPort, the stand is very nice and sturdy feeling, the tilt is nice and stiff making it so that the monitor can be adjusted but it is not loose to where it just falls back down, and the overall design just looks great. I use this monitor for gaming and productivity as well as Facebook and email and it looks amazing. Overall this is a very good monitor for the price and it is very competitively priced compared to Dell panels that are usually a much higher quality item. I would definitely recommend this to someone on a budget for a cheap 1080p panel.
