Almost Perfect
I loved this monitor, but the first one I received began showing red snow on all black screens. For instance during bootup, the screen was constantly a red fuzzy color. If there was an image on the screen it was fine but you could still see the red fuzziness in the black borders. I tried multiple cables, even bought new ones, and nothing worked. Finally returned it. I may buy another one though just because it was such a nice monitor. The integrated speakers were great. More than lough enough. Do not though, the speaker volume out of the box is set at 50%. Once you turn it up all the way then control volume using your computer it gets fairly loud. It's good for the casual youtube/facebook video but I probably wouldn't use it for gaming. The eye saving blue filter was a nice touch. I preferred 1080P so the text could be large enough for me to read. I couldn't imagine 4K on this screen size, at least when reading text. Scaling in Windows 10 is still a hot mess so I'm avoiding 4K for now. If the next one shows up without issue then it'll be a 5-star for sure.

Amazing Graphics
we upgraded our monitor and originally thought we were going overboard with the size, but one connected we realized the graphics and size are so good we did not have doubts again.

Great value for screen size
I have now purchased 3 of this screen size for my work station.
I like the larger size for working on spreadsheets
