    My son wanted a small monitor for his gaming computer so he could sit at his desk and play games. We got it hooked up and he tinkered with the settings. The colors are vibrant and the graphics are better than I expected for such a low cost monitor. He says he is very satisfied with the performance. He seems happier with this monitor than he was when the computer was hooked to his 42 inch HDTV!

    This monitor connected easily and has a tilt feature that I find useful. The display is just alright, if just a wee bit fuzzy in the fine details. I only use it for business tasks such as spreadsheets and word processing documents, so that's OK by me. But it doesn't have an HDMI connection, so it's useless for phones and tablets. I had to spend extra to get an HDMI adapter, so that adds to the overall price. Had I known that, I would have spent ten to twenty dollars extra for a monitor that an HDMI connection. I recommend this with reservations.

    The screen is very clear and works great. If you want a smaller screen for a multi-screen setup, this would work perfectly for you.

    its a good cheap monitor. It has speakers which is great for the price, albeit weak. It would be better if it had an HDMI, but good monitor nonetheless

    Believe it or not, I needed a smaller monitor...not bigger. For the price, this worked as I wanted it.

    These monitors will work for my home office. The bases are a little wobbly, so you need to be careful if you are moving them around on your desk. The image quality is about what I expected for the price that I paid: Not great, but good

    This monitor is wider than I wanted to get, but it has worked out beautifully. The price was right and the monitor has performed perfectly.

    This monitor replaced a 17" that died. This monitor has more available for Windows 10 than the old unit. Works with the desktop better.
