Color off: my review

Compared to my laptop, the image is greener. My laptop is also an Acer. It is very bad to display the same image side by side via the HDMI provided by my laptop. The controls are small buttons below the screen. I urgently need a remote control. I skipped the part about the lack of speakers, but monitor speakers are usually bad anyways. I'm currently sending an HDMI signal there from a digital tuner as my large TV is in storage while I'm trying to move out of this house.

Great monitor for small spaces

If you are looking for an inexpensive, beautiful Full HD monitor for a small space, I would highly recommend this one. This would be especially ideal for students or people in small apartments. I bought this 21.5" 1080p monitor to replace an 11 year old 27" 1080p monitor now that I live in a small apartment in the city - I need something smaller that still has that comes in Full HD and meets all the requirements (I got a discount during the Revain sale). This form factor is beautiful, very…

Good budget monitor.

I bought it to use as a second monitor. It serves its purpose, but I'm not sure if it's a good choice for gamers (although I'm no expert!). I like working on a bigger screen than my laptop and it's much better ergonomically. The only thing I don't like is that it's SUPER bright. I'm currently using a brightness level of 1 (out of 100) and that's the only level I can handle. Otherwise it's good for the price!

Not bad for 1080p gaming

I have an i8 8700 processor with a 5600xt graphics card. So you know that the card can run 1080p games without any problems. But the combination of that with this monitor is just amazing! If you're just looking for 1080p and don't care about curve or frame rate, this monitor is great. I got one on sale for about $50 but wanted a second monitor for my setup. The second looks better than the first. It has HDMI and VGA (I use a DisplayPort to HDMI cable). There is no sound from the monitor. So be…

Great quality, fantastic price!

I bought this monitor for my wife to use with her Alienware R17X4 laptop. She broke a key on her keyboard, but she also wanted a bigger screen. So I bought a wireless keyboard and this monitor. Now she uses a powerful Alienware laptop as her desktop with a large display and wireless movable keyboard. She is very happy when camping. Others have commented on the great graphics, sleek design, and good build quality at a great price, so I won't repeat those details here. Nevertheless, I'll give you

Screen protector must be included

Arrived well packaged, the only thing I don't like is that the screen was not protected at all. Also with the main filter/or protective plastic. There is a small scratch on the underside, but that doesn't bother me. If it had been more scratched I would have sent it back!

Great monitor for the price

It is perfectly viewed from different angles, like a TV. You don't see any pixels. It's simple and just what I need for a second monitor for my MacBook Air. It also connects instantly with no hiccups so far. Excellent detail and color. Not super bright, but bright enough. It's a keeper!

Good deal for a disposable monitor

I used to live in a cool, quiet house in the valley but had to move to a hot and noisy apartment with no air conditioning in the city. The temperature inside reaches 88 F with a maximum of 90 F on a hot day! Since room temperature is considered 68-72 F, I was concerned that my Lenovo ThinkVision High Performance Monitor ($300) and HP Color Laser Printer ($400) would fry or corrode in the heat and humidity of this terrible climate. So I place both devices in my air-conditioned storage room while

I have 2 of these that I use for my setup, not a bad monitor, you definitely get what you pay for. I haven't had any problems with it so far and don't see any problems in the foreseeable future either! I like the stylish design, not bulky.

Tilt dispute resolved

Good monitor for the price. Good picture, no dead pixels. The menu system allows for many settings but is difficult to navigate due to a timeout of around 5 seconds when no button is pressed. Be sure to download the manual in PDF format, it contains much more information than the printed manual that came with the monitor. Both manuals say the monitor will tilt, but it won't move with reasonable effort at first. My husband, who is a highly skilled mechanic, inspected what turned out to be a…

The monitor does not support 3.5mm audio interface and USB interface, but you can connect a speaker to a set-top box. And 1080p is enough to play the Switch.

Fantastic for the price

There is nothing wrong with this money. Very good colors, I believe they are close to 99% sRGB. I don't see ghosting when watching movies and action movies on YouTube. For my use, it's fine for general photo editing. no height adjustment, slightly tilted. I almost bought a $175 monitor but I'm glad I didn't. I can't see a better screen for twice the price but I would do it again Bob

Not exactly zero frame, but a good monitor

So I thought I had actually hit the jackpot, but I didn't. The monitor is not zero frame, it fits very tight, but it's not there. Although the bezel is narrow, it is thicker than it should be (about 4-5mm). Otherwise, the image quality is good and the refresh rate and image quality are very good for this price point. As a work/office monitor, a lightweight gaming or secondary monitor is perfect.

Great for remote work with multiple screens!

I have two of these monitors connected to a docking station for my work laptop. With the small laptop screen, I can now have two additional larger widescreen monitors, which makes working from home much easier. I can't speak for gaming graphics but I will say these monitors are great for my purposes.

Used in my Halloween Zombie Containment Block

I bet you weren't expecting to see a review with this kind of monitor usage, were you? A few years ago I built a zombie containment chamber for Halloween that used a monitor to give the illusion that a zombie was trapped in the chamber. I've used a very cheap monitor in the past and found that it looks fine when viewed straight on, but any angle from the side or below blurs the image and destroys the illusion. Given that the "window" was about 5.5 feet off the ground, anyone smaller could not…
