Not deliberately trying to discredit anyone, because everyone has a different experience, but I totally disagree with these reviews that say “great quality!” “Nice colors!” “Lovely picture!” I’m sorry but it just isn’t true, and I can only assume these reviews are coming from people who are upgrading from a Dell box monitor that’s been running windows XP for the last 15 years. If you’re looking for a monitor for work or school, or any situation where you’ll be using it for long hours, please heed this review: You get what you pay for. It’s about what you’d expect for an $80 monitor. Blue light is strong, colors are cold and harsh, and the screen is very susceptible to glare/color distortion if you’re not looking at it perfectly straight. Resolution is poor, to be honest. Typing in a word document for example, small words such as menu items like “File” and “Insert” are incredibly blurry. I code a lot for school, and I start to get a headache from eye strain after an hour or two. If you don’t use your computer for long periods of time or for complicated tasks like coding or CAD drawings, like I do, then this should be fine. This monitor was delivered a couple weeks earlier than the tracking number predicted, which is great except it got delivered while I was traveling. If it weren’t for Best Buy’s asinine 15 day warranty being expired by the time I got home, I would not hesitate AT ALL to return this for a more expensive monitor. It was meant to be temporary anyways, but I didn’t consider Best Buy’s signature 10 minute warranty at the time of purchase. Now I’m stuck with it. Highly dissatisfied, but it’s my own fault. 2 stars because it was incredibly easy to set up, and it technically does what I ask of it, despite my opinions. And to be clear, even though I complained about Best Buy’s fortnight warranty, it was not a factor in the rating. **PICTURES: first picture is of the monitor, screen looks like this on iPhone camera no matter how still you hold it. For reference, the SECOND PICTURE is of my Microsoft surface pro**

My son wanted a second monitor for his gaming. Nothing fancy to it but does the job at a good price

Our HP Envy screen went down months ago. Sent it off to get it fixed and they could not. Got this monitor and we finally get to use our laptop again. Comes with DVI cord but not HDMI cable. Will need to get one. Picture is great the screen swivels in all directions. Easy to put together too.
