I love this monitor! The size is perfect for surfing the net, reading long articles. I can snap a YouTube video on one side and snap another browser window next to it and continue surfing and can still see everything with out one or the other being sized down very small. I'm a casual gamer (PNY - NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 2GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 Graphics Card - Black): Fallout 3, WoW, Rome TotalWar, The Long Dark, all these games look great on this monitor! It's also big enough that I can play these games windowed and still enough desktop left over to mess around with other programs. I do wish the monitor was able to go up and down (only because my desk is low) but it tilts which is fine. I really like the thin bezel, and shiny black color makes it look very classy and professional, no low budget looks here. I work with lots of spread sheet and the big screen size is PERFECT. Also cranking out long documents is enjoyable because it big enough that I can snap Word to one side and snap a web browser with Pandora or YouTube next to it and easily control the music and still have enough room to see my document with out squinting my eyes and leaning right into the monitor. I recommended this to my brother and he bought 2 after seeing mine, haha!
