Revainrating 5 out of 5

excellent side monitor in my review.

great to have on the side. (the right one) but personally I wouldn't use it as the primary monitor. If you like gaming, get a bigger screen! I went with the 27 inch Viotek, it's affordable and I'd get either to top it off like I did. Especially when you are gaming you need two so you can see other notifications and not exit game mode.

Not designed for VESA mount

Was looking for a monitor that would be compatible for installation. This monitor is not suitable for the VESA mount. The connectors on the back are not suitable for VESA. It has a non-detachable stem (designed for a stand) which is also not designed for installation. See attached picture. Will return the item.

Not for games in my opinion

I connected it to the Xbox One for about two weeks. When the monitor went out last night and the screen started bouncing up and down. The pixels went crazy and it was game over for me. This product is being returned and I will be looking for another brand.

USELESS PLASTIC - Stops working after 3 months!

Bought and was happy with it. However, after about 3 months the monitor stopped reading the HDMI connection. I have tested my laptop and cable with other devices to isolate the issue. both worked great. I even bought another HDMI cable thinking the problem was with the cable. I only spent more money to realize the monitor was the problem - disappointing as it was brand new. Whenever I connect the HDMI cable, the monitor says "No video output", "Turn on sleep mode" and after that it won't turn…

Great monitor for the money

This monitor is great for the money. It has thin bezels and excellent picture quality. I bought this as a second monitor for my 27" Acer monitor and it's great and you can't beat the price.

Great picture, great price

Very happy with this purchase - the colors are great, the images are crisp and the 22 inch size is a good size for everyday work. Yes, the control button is in a slightly odd place (bottom/middle, back), but it actually solves a problem on other monitors where you can accidentally change settings by touching the sides of the monitor (and it's easy enough (to get used to it if you know where it is located) All in all excellent value for money.

Nice, great for a second screen

Excellent brightness control, very thin and elegant design. It looks good and works like an extended monitor. Good for gaming and frankly the edges and rims make it a huge plus. The price is great for what you get. would recommend.

Terrible perspectives

Noticeable color shift if you're not looking from a dead center. This is normal for a computer monitor, but not for a security camera monitor.

Not for standing, only for standing on a table

The only downside is that it is not compatible with the Vesa mount, the cables run too narrow and interfere with the mount. Let's see how long they keep quite good quality.

Much better in my rating

If you can buy this monitor for the price I bought it ($80) then you should buy it now. There's some backlight bleeding and contrast isn't that great, but it comes with freesync and 75Hz on an ips panel. More than you can ask for at just $80.

too much trouble

Running the setup with two monitors, after about 6 months, one of them came out with an HDMI port. They sent a replacement before the announced return. However, the replacement has a yellow cast. I spend over 10 hours a day in front of these things and it's really annoying. Also, the mount will not work if you have lugs for a 100mm Vesa mount and want to use the HDMI port. Nice monitor but I wouldn't do it. But again. Update: The HDMI port on the other monitor has failed. HDMI connections are…

Crash 3 days after warranty expired, manufacturer support terrible

This thing was good for the 4 weeks it worked. After 4 weeks, when the computer was asleep, I started turning the device on and off, and then the image began to randomly distort. It's been 2 weeks since their support is trying to get them to honor the "4 year guarantee" with no results. Keep asking for pics of this and that I send and then sorry we need pics of that too and it's been a dialogue for almost 2 weeks now.

Decent budget screen with one fatal flaw

I bought this because it's one of the few reasonably priced screens with VESA mounts and I wanted it to be a second screen mounted on a movable monitor stand. Unfortunately, the VESA mounts on this unit are MUCH low, so a standard VESA mount (Revain Basics in my case) will cover the rear ports, rendering them virtually unusable.

Bought as a portable monitor for a laptop. The box doubles as a carrying case and the base easily attaches and detaches for quick set-up on the go. I don't know about games, but AutoCAD works well with 3D.
