First things first. This was a great monitor for the price. Worked perfectly out of the box. Now for the not so good stuff. We had to box it back up and move it to my daughter's dorm for college. It didn't fair well. The monitor drivers all had to be reinstalled and the monitor cable stopped working with it. To get the monitor to change the screen ratio we had to use an hdmi cable. Not that big a deal but I hear it takes some of the features away from the monitor when you don't use that special cable that came with it. Overall it's good for what it's purpose is. If you buy it don't rebox it and move it. Set it up where you plan on keeping it. We think something may have happened to it during the move. But hey what do we know. The graphics are crisp and great and my daughter uses it for art and graphic design and the screen is amazing. Once we got everything working again the monitor was fine. I would still recommend it. Oh and it's great for gaming and watching movies!
