Would be 5 stars, but the HDMI input port appears to be broken. Tested another monitor, onboard HDMI out, ensured that my GPU was outputting to the compatible resolution and refresh rate (1920x1080 and 60Hz). Nothing has worked. DVI works and VGA works, but HDMI refuses. Otherwise, if youve read the product page, you know what youre getting. Its really thin, the power supply is on board (so no external brick), it has an anti-glare finish (that is still a bit reflective of the light in my room), and the digital menu lets you switch inputs and change picture settings. Nice monitor, but mine is partly busted. Because max output is 1080p/60Hz, but the screen is quite large, I think the ideal application for this monitor is moving away from your desk for gaming or watching a video (say, if you have a couch or something behind your desk chair). If youre sitting at your desk for hardcore gaming with a beastly rig, youre going to be wishing for 144 Hz and 1440p. If youre a graphics designer, youre definitely going to want a higher resolution than 1080p to get that extra screen real estate. For the rest of us, this monitor is excellent for the price. Big screen, 1080p, sleek look. If youre cool with 1080p in general, or you plan to sit back a ways from your desk for certain things, then this monitor is for you.
