Ok not great would recommend on a budget.

All in all, you get what you pay for, which isn't always a bad thing. The monitor is not perfect, I would even say far from perfect. But for my needs and at this price you honestly can't go wrong. If you want the "perfect" monitor, you have to spend the "perfect" money to get it. ---------------------------------------------- ---- ----------------------- The monitor is fine. I bought this to replace my LG 25um57p monitor which I got a few years ago and which recently fell face down on the floor. The monitor is significantly larger than my 25 inch LG. I compared both on a flat surface and the scepter is lighter and feels more durable. The seamless design makes the computer installation look more modern. The speakers sound like they're coming from one of those McDonald's Happy Meal toys. I don't care, I only use headphones. The joystick for controlling the monitor's OSD takes a bit of getting used to, mostly because it's unfortunately on the back. The OSD lacks some features that my LG had. OSD seems boring/effortless. The rest is nothing to worry about. Virtually no bezels make this multi-monitor setup practical. DisplayPort, HDMI can't go wrong. The monitor screen becomes very hot, especially around the joystick. The monitor uses more power than my LG ever did, higher electricity bills. 75Hz is a nice upgrade from 60Hz. Although sometimes it's hard to say. I had to calibrate the colors right after installation, which is not a disadvantage and is a normal procedure that every new display has to go through. If you're creating content, the width is handy for video editing, but I'd stay away from this monitor for pictures, illustrations, painting, and drawing. All in all, you get what you pay for, which isn't always a bad thing. The monitor is not perfect, I would even say far from perfect. But for my needs and at this price you honestly can't go wrong. If you want the "perfect" monitor, you have to spend the "perfect" money to get it.

Pros
  • Exactly what I was looking for. If you want to use an HDMI connection, you need an HDMI cable.
Cons
  • After a year of use, it just went black and wouldn't turn on.
