Others reported a cheap and weak position. LG must have listened to the feedback as mine came with a metal stand. I was a bit disappointed with the resolution, not because it's bad but because of the resolution of my old monitor, a Dell UltraSharp u3011. (Plus, the Dell costs 5x as much.) I was also disappointed in the lack of USB or DisplayPort connections, but then again, I'm comparing it to a much more expensive monitor. (And I could have gleaned that from the specs, but I assumed they were standard with all new monitors.) On the other hand, it uses a fraction of the power of my old monitor, so it doesn't get as hot as the Dell. Note. My computer doesn't have HDMI and my monitor only has HDMI (and VGA). The instructions that came with the monitor recommend not using a DisplayPort => HDMI cable as this can cause compatibility issues. I went with the cable anyway and found it worked fine for video, but I had no sound. Apparently, after installing this monitor, my system switched the default "sound device" to the LG monitor (so obviously no sound). This was quickly fixed by manually switching the audio device back to speakers. Pros: 1. Price was great 2. Easy to set up 3. Picture quality is good (not what I'm used to but good for what it is). 4. relatively light 5. low power consumption, cold-warm CONS: not enough features (described above) In short, I like the monitor for the price/size:
