Open box did not work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ordered open box excellent condition as I have with many other items and when I received the monitor it would not turn on and a corner of the monitor was out of the frame
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot so FHD
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's cheap, but it doesn't work well with a Mini dock and the overall resolution is grainy. The circular chrome logo has clear triangles around the edges and it's quite obvious it shouldn't be used for gaming or HD viewing, let alone FHD. There are better, cheaper options.
