Best for the price. Not a superstar.

ByK5centson January 7, 2017

For the price, I don't think this can be beat. I bought two of these, and spent about the same amount of money as if I were to buy a decent 24" monitor. They're a little small, but not bad from a foot or so away. The number of inputs is awesome, but I would prefer 2 HDMI over 1 HDMI, VGA, and DVI; today's devices primarily use HDMI. The speakers are, eh, not impressive. At least they're there, unlike a lot of monitors, but the volume is limited and the quality is poor- don't buy this for the speaker.

My biggest complaint is that neck that goes into the base is NOT (easily) removable. So, if you plan to mount this on a wall or stand, like me, then you'll have an unsightly black neck sticking out the bottom. I've read you can remove the monitor frame and unscrew the neck, but I tried this and wasn't able to separate the frame without feeling like I was going to break something.

Good monitor for the price, but the stand doesn't come off.

ByCap & Kendalon August 31, 2015

Ordered 7 of these monitors. None had dead pixels or flaws. Display is fine. The biggest issue I had with these monitors is that vertical part of the stand cannot be removed. I was very surprised to find that the horizontal base comes off and that's it. I mounted these displays on an articulating wall mount using the 100mm VESA mounting holes. As a result, the vertical piece sticks down behind and below the monitor. Bottom line, if you're wanting to mount this monitor, you'll have and unattractive black "handle" sticking down.

Bright clear display, sturdy stand, great price.

ByVanguardwon December 6, 2016

For the price this monitor is great. I use it for my home office as a secondary monitor to my laptop screen and my only regret is not getting a size larger. The stand is sturdy, the image is bight and sharp, and it's not ugly.

I don't like how the monitor cannot move on the stand

ByJODY K.on June 6, 2017

I don't like how the monitor cannot move on the stand. They almost sit tilted forward, so that it is hard to see unless the monitor is higher than you are. I would not recommend.

Great color, contrast and brightness. Can't beat the price ($69). Less than 2 minutes to unpack and setup.

Great, inexpensive monitor!

We bought a LaView home security camera system, and I ordered this monitor for the DVR unit. Works beautifully, plug and play through HDMI (but also has the VGA adapter on the back). Great video quality!

Decent monitors

ByElias Daniel Wolferon April 19, 2017

Just keep in mind that the pole connecting the base to the screen does not remove. So if you are trying to mount the screens, you are stuck with the pole coming out of the bottom

I love it!

ByAmazon Customeron December 14, 2016

Mine came in a few weeks ago and I love it so much. The colours are bright, and you can mess with your colour settings with the menu button! TF2, Dota 2, CS:GO, EVE, ect.; They all look very crisp. Even my sister's digital art looks 10x better on it! The LED lighting does make it a little hard to stare at for extended periods of time though. Still an absolutely wonderful monitor and it's pretty cheap compared to other brands!

I would definitely recommend this monitor to those who're on a budget or are after a really nice cheap gaming/art monitor.

Best value for the money!

ByJames Anthony Pavicic Jr.on January 26, 2017

EXTREMELY NICE PICTURE and VALUE FOR YOU MONEY. The monitor comes with power cord and VGA cable. However, the monitor has VGA, HDMI and DVI inputs. It is VESA 100 compatible, however the swivel base stem is NOT removable; Still a great value!
