We had no idea how bad our old monitors were!

Guys, just because a monitor lights up and displays an image, doesn't mean it's still in good working order! We switched from our old stuff to these and the ibuprofen use in the office dropped immediately - everyone's eyes were strained from a headache. Terrible! We practically bought a whole range of these when we modernized our office and a lot of people went from two screens to three. Great value for money, much sharper and brighter than the nearly decade old flat screens they replaced. Low eye strain, less glare. Significantly reduced power consumption. They run much slower than our older monitors, putting less strain on the HVAC system and resulting in even more savings. The biggest benefit was the overall health improvement in the office. Headaches used to be a common occurrence, but now with modern monitors, they're almost non-existent. Seriously folks, if your monitor is old, do yourself a favor and strongly consider replacing it, even if it "works" well. The cost can't compare to health and happiness, but at these prices there's no excuse. Long-term durability is not yet certain, but we will report on it. I'm glad we bought, will buy again.

Pros
  • Very disappointed when I received the monitor and found that it does not have HDMI. The monitor cannot be used.
Cons
  • Never
