    OK, I am struggling to do this on a Chromebook. LOL Monitor was well packed. Worked out of the box. Not dead or stuck on pixels. Picture filled the screen. Two adjustable angles for the stand. Tested all refresh rates and all worked. HDMI was truncated as usual for some refresh rates and resolutions. DP worked very well on 3 different machines. Used USB C on two of the test beds. As usual 60 was the max I could play some high end games like Flight Simulator. Everyday use I was able to go up to 165. Has the feel of a quality unit. Nice non UHD monitor. I will attempt to add photos and specs.

    This was a huge upgrade from my samsung 24in wide monitor that was a hand me down. I love the quality, settings and the gaming mode along with the built in speakers which the BB salesguy told me it didnt have. I get easy 120fps. Got it on sale at a price i was happy with. I looked everywhere and did my research on about 50 monitors before i got this one. Did need a little tweaking out of box but nothing major. This was a great buy.

    So far I have no complaints about this monitor. I replaced two of my older acer monitors for this one as I regularly game and easily tell a difference in quality. Built in speakers are great too when I need to give my ears a rest, though they are not ideal for directional noise

    Got this for around 200 dollars, and about 2 months in I will say that it has been quite good. Build quality feels great, screen size is excellent, and it runs everything smoothly. If you need something for the job, this is a good pick!
