Bought it online two weeks ago as a Deal of the Day for 79.99$. Item arrived in a timely fashion and undamaged. Thumbs up for Bestbuy. Monitor itself is solid, but nothing special. Image quality is meh, but that was to be expected for 80$. A bit of blur in movie action scenes, and the default brightness is way too strong but that can me somewhat remedied with controls (either on the monitor or in your video driver settings). Don't get me wrong, for 80$ it's a great monitor, but you can't (and shouldn't) expect quality you would get with a 300$ Dell or Lenovo IPS monitor(s). Monitor is matte, but the plastic is glossy. Glossy bezel, glossy back, glossy stand. A tad distracting (and a fingerprint magnet), but not too distracting. Hooked it up via MiniDisplayPort-to-HDMI cable and all is working well. Windows 7 recognized the monitor and we were running extended desktop setup in a matter of minutes. Now, the stand itself on the other hand is, IMO, the weakest point of this particular monitor. It's made out of plastic, and although there is a metal plate beneath the stand, monitor is extremely wobbly. If you're planning on buying this and you have children running around, I suggest you either mount it to a wall or a monitor arm (since it has VESA mounts on the back). We'll be mounting it to a monitor arm, since everytime we type, monitor wobbles. Again, a tad distracting, but not too much. By the way, I wouldn't mind paying 10-20$ more if the monitor came with a tad sturdier/substantial stand. Controls are also, kind of, a weak point. Unintuitive and buttons are pure junk, but I digress. For 80$ you get a 24'' panel, with decent viewing angles (again, don't expect 300$ IPS panel colors/viewing angles, contrast et cetera), HDMI port (along with DVI and VGA)... If you see it for 80$, buy it. Especially as a second monitor and if you're not a demanding user (graphic design, video editing etc).
