Its a very nice monitor, from a reputable company, at a good price. The colors and resolution are simply amazing. The thin bezels at the top and sides make it very nice to use in a multi-monitor set up. However, HP is having some quality control issues with this product. I bought two and Ive had to exchange them both. One of them had a small defect (which is hard to capture on camera, but which is very noticeable in person) where a backlight LED "dot" is clearly visible near the bottom bezel. The other was assembled poorly, so the light plastic casing above the top bezel wasnt snapped all the way in two separate spots (I only took a picture of one of these spots). Were it not for these quality control issues, I would have given it 5 stars. But dealing with the hassles of returns definitely detracts from the enjoyment of the product, and it makes me worry about what other issues might manifest themselves later on. UPDATE: One of the replacements also had an assembly defect. The top bezel had not been snapped into the white plastic casing. Fortunately, I was able to gently push it into place and the screen itself seems fine. Still, 2 of the 3 monitors Ive received have had an assembly problem.
