So instead of the power supply being part of the monitor and using a standard 3-prong power cable, it comes with a wall wart power supply and uses a barrel connector... a bit unusual to see on a monitor of this type in this day in age. Nevertheless, the issue is the DC port on the monitor is very flimsy and wont hold the jack in. One little nudge to the monitor or cable causes the monitor to lose power. It falls out very easily. One time reaching to plug it back in, the connector had gotten extremely hot and burned my hand. I was considering exchanging this monitor for a replacement but was told by a friend with the same monitor that his had the same issue. Not really sure what to do because otherwise its a great monitor. Update: I got a replacement monitor in. The plug is very loose on this one too but will at least stay in the jack as long as I dont touch the cord. Despite the good specs and price I couldnt recommend this monitor based on the poor power connector design. Beware that if you do buy it anyways that some of the third party sellers on here dont pay shipping costs if you need to RMA it as was my case!
