This was a pretty good monitor, especially for the price. Keyword being was. I make a living off of photography, so I needed a monitor that I could calibrate, was big enough to have the extra workspace, and had good image quality. This met all of those, and being on a budget, this was a good deal. It has good image quality and I was able to calibrate it (manually) to be a good enough match to what I needed. It was a solid part of my workflow. Then the oft-reviewed power issues started. After about 9 months it started to go through the power cycle (turning off then back on rapidly) without any prompting. LISTEN TO THE REVIEWS THAT SAY THERE ARE POWER ISSUES. Really. Its now worthless as I can only go about 5 minutes in editing until it cycles continuously and I cant get anything done. Im not happy, as Im in the middle of editing a shoot and need to make an emergency purchase of a new monitor. -_-* If you need a quick-and-dirty monitor for an emergency, then buy this. If you want anything to do with quality, dont.
