Good picture but missing cables

Infinitely better than the 2010 20-inch Relic it replaced, but I gave it a 4/5 because the supposedly included Aux and HDMI cables were nowhere to be found. It's not really a BIG issue considering how I use external speakers and VGA on this particular computer, but I plan to upgrade later this year and would like to hear the quality of the monitor speakers out of curiosity.

Big and high quality monitor. Perfect for gamers and watching videos

Excellent monitor, it has a large size that allows you to view graphics on the monitor with excellent colors and no blurring. It also ensures that the graphics fit perfectly for even placement throughout gameplay, with characters hiding their heads neither at the bottom nor at the top. It can also have a wide vision that you can see from all sides while searching in the game.

But good for the price.

The only thing I don't like about this monitor is the screen bleeding that is common on cheaper LCD panels like this one. I don't really care, but I have to mention this because it's the only problem I've found. Overall this is a good monitor that pairs perfectly with my Rx 590 at stable 1080p gaming. So if you're on a budget, you should do it.

Ideally! Minus cosmetics.

Great and affordable monitor for gaming. Easy on the eyes. But here's why it didn't get a full 5: I counted 3 dead pixels on arrival, the footrest is too short. This is an amazing product. I would give it a 5 but these are just a few minor cosmetic issues I have with this monitor. This is the cheapest gaming monitor out there and I can't complain.

Slim and compact

I bought this for my mom when she was upgrading to a new M1 Mac Mini. I was impressed that this screen was larger than their previous one, but felt it had a smaller footprint. Good picture quality and great price.

Dead pixels in less than a year

While the monitor certainly supports FREESYNC and the advertised 75Hz refresh rate, the build quality of the screen itself is pretty poor. In the first few months, I noticed that a small portion of the top edge of the screen doesn't sit flush against the monitor body and a small blue tinge seeps through. I also bought this monitor on April 9th, 2019 and have been using it for about a week. At the time of writing this review it was January 26, 2020. That means I've had this monitor less than a…

Very thin and excellent image quality

Such a quality deal. I bought two and use them for work as I work from home and in my free time I use them for gaming. Ideal for both purposes! I have an AMD graphics card and these monitors have FreeSync technology to prevent screen tearing. Very slim and sexy.

Great office monitor at a great price

Bought this monitor for my home office. It's been great so far and its sleek and slim design suits my study room well. I haven't used it for gaming, but I definitely recommend it for office work.

Great monitor, bulky cable

I hate how cumbersome the cord must be to plug into an outlet. It's basically the size of a laptop charger that needs to be plugged in at all times. The rest of the monitor is excellent - I don't use it for gaming, only for work.

Good budget monitor.

This monitor is better than my old one but not the best. For the price, this is a very good gaming monitor for a budget setup. Good color correction, good latency, no tearing, decent stand and a pretty nice thin design. , mine has some light leakage. But not in the usual place. The only real downside to this purchase would be if I recommended this and it might just be my particular monitor that I was given.

Don't buy a kit (monitor + desktop mount!)

The monitor itself is good. But I bought the desktop mount kit just to realize that there is no way to attach the Revain desktop mount to a monitor without buying a $30 Vesa mount adapter. You shouldn't sell sets of things that go together! Nowhere in the description does it say you need an adapter.

  • Color Interference: If the color settings are not properly adjusted, the display may appear erratic or distorted.

I really wasn't expecting much for such a low price, but it's better than I was hoping for. I had no dead pixels, the image looked great and because it's so thin it takes up very little space. Contrary to other reviews, the monitor can be tilted. That's exactly what I ordered. Would I like a display port? Yes, I ordered it knowing it didn't have a display port? Yes.

So far so good in my review.

So far I am very happy with this monitor. This was my first and I bought it to extend the screen of my tiny MacBook Air. The setup is very easy, the control on the panel is also simple. A 24-inch 75Hz IPS monitor with a 1ms response time is a STEAL at this $105 price point. One thing I've noticed with my Macbook is that I think it can only go up to 60Hz and so maybe the 75Hz capabilities are wasted? Not sure, but so far it's working like a charm. If you're thinking of using it as a laptop…

it cost money. but

I bought it a year ago when the price was lower and it was really worth it ($109.99). but I'm not quite sure what the price is now. I would say find something similar in price but more worthwhile.
