I really wanted to love it

Although it looked very nice and I liked how easy it was to move the monitor up and down, I would have ended up returning it if I hadn't received it as a test and review product. The first and biggest problem was pixelation and color. Used as a third monitor. I have a Dell laptop and a Samsung monitor. Actually I have two Samsung monitors but the first one wasn't curved so I wanted to replace it so I have two curved monitors. After rearranging everything and setting up the HP monitor, I spent about 30 minutes trying to match the color of the Dell laptop and Samsung monitor and also that the graphics on the screen were not pixelated. Eventually I gave up, rearranged everything and put my other Samsung monitor back in. I might have gotten used to the fact that it wasn't as bright as my other screens, but I couldn't get over the fact that text and graphics weren't as sharp and crisp. I could be choosier than some but I was really surprised as I thought a gaming monitor would be much sharper in the graphics section. If you're not picky like me, this might not be a problem for you and I'll list the pros and cons: Pros: Great packaging - I'll keep this box to repack when I move. The best monitor setup I've ever tried. They suggest you use one of the packaging foams to install the back and stand so you don't have to worry about breaking your monitor. It was a bit odd that they had four extra screws different from the ones installed. Those who installed them used an allen wrench. An additional Phillips screwdriver is required. Just something a little weird. Easily move the monitor to different heights. All you have to do is push it down or up and tilt it to get the height you want. That was one of the reasons I liked it so much. Several different lighting/image settings. They have warm, cool, blue light and some other settings. The custom RGB setting was the best for graphics. Cons: Blurred graphics on neither text nor images Muted screen colors Since I can't get this back, I'm going to use it as a "TV" for the Roku/Fire Stick in my bedroom.

Pros
  • I needed an upgrade and it was within my price range. 😊
Cons
  • Limited Connectivity.
