I've been using the monitor for a few hrs now and it looks amazing. I first connected the monitor with my 2010 Windows 8.1 laptop and for some reason certain websites had a yellow tint where it's suppose to be light gray, for example on the youtube site, the background was very yellowish. I'm assuming the culprit might be my laptop because I then connected my 2017 15" MBP, via Apple's usb-c digital AV multiport adapter bought from BB's open box deal, and the colors seem exactly as what's shown on the MBP. I'm very pleased with the output of colors and brightness/contrast on this monitor. As for the items included in the box, I read the "what's included" section of this item on BB's site prior to ordering and was surprised to see it said DVI, HDMI and VGA cables listed, as most only offer one of the 3, but when I opened the box there was only a VGA cable (and the monitor power cord). This isn't a huge deal, as everything now a days use HDMI so I had an extra one around. But still disappointed because it said HDMI was included, rather than saying it might. Also, there wasn't a manual in the box, but the monitor is super easy to assemble. I'm a little shocked that the monitor just slides onto to the stand and there's no screw or anything to keep it tight. Seems to be holding up by tension? I'm not sure, but so far it's holding, even after tilting it back and forth. I don't think a whole star should be taken off for a missing HDMI & DVI cables but it seem I can only select whole stars, instead of half, otherwise I would give it 4.5stars.
