Really good!
This monitor works really well for me. I work from home and rely on having two monitors, so adding this one to my setup made a big difference in my productivity. I use it with a Dell docking station and another Dell monitor, and everything connects and runs smoothly. I would give it 4.5 stars because it isn’t adjustable. Since I sit for about 9 hours a day, ergonomics are important to me. I knew before purchasing that it had a fixed position, so I adjusted my desk setup to make it work. Overall, I’m very happy with it and it has been a great addition to my workspace. Also, if this review happens to help me win the $400 gift card, that would make my work-from-home setup even better!

Excellent Monitors
I had two older ACER 22" monitors and one was starting to fail. They lasted nearly 10 years, so no complaints there. I saw these and was happy to upgrade. They are slick and colorful, with no dead pixels or other issues out of the box. I'm on the computer a lot for both gaming and work, and these deliver all that I need. Highly recommend.
