Great picture, not a great stand, but still a great buy

I don't usually write reviews, but since there are only a handful of reviews on this product, I thought it was worth considering. I bought this monitor like so many others because of the Cyber Monday deal. $90 for a 24-inch IPS monitor felt like a steal. Reviews from others have convinced me that this was a good purchase and I am very happy with the picture and color this monitor delivers. Next to my old Acer H213H you can see a huge difference in color and brightness. As other reviewers have pointed out, this monitor isn't perfect. The stand can be described as a weak point. However, I don't see my monitor "shaking" all the time from typing or anything. And the buttons aren't actually labeled, making it a bit of an adventure when first figuring out how to use the buttons, but it's pretty only when you understand that what the buttons do is what the monitor menu says it is . I've played a few games to test this monitor and the color and response are great. Bottom line, if you want a no-frills monitor with a great display, especially if you plan on installing it on everyone, this is the monitor to go for Kind of Vesa mount, because that would eliminate this monitor's biggest weakness, the stand. If you want a nicer monitor, spend a few bucks more. If you want the best bang for your buck in terms of color and performance (which, frankly, is what really matters in a monitor), then this is the deal for you. The image shown is a blurry old model compared to this monitor alongside the same image. , also no change of the factory settings.

Pros
  • Great monitor, note it doesn't have external speakers but that's an easy fix.
Cons
  • The HDMI connector connects vertically and slides a lot, it's PITA.
