The build quality is quite good, however. The base can be a few simple steps and without tools assemble and disassemble. The front is a matter of taste, especially the front end incl. Base with piano lacquer finish is negative on. Looks neither quality nor has it made practical use except that the dust collects on it. Negative are the side-mounted menu buttons that respond more bad than good, and you never can determine exactly which key now the finger is. Even the menu itself to be quite slow.
Fortunately one does not fumbles every day around the menu and hence you can get over that, too.
For image:
For a TN panel of course you can not expect miracles as far as the color fastness as well as the GL2450HM is no exception. Thanks to the LED backlights have light backgrounds a slight blue tint to you do not get completely away and a bright screen looks in comparison to other panels but quite cold. The illumination is not necessarily superior for a LED backlight, and a slight backlight bleeding at the edges is also available, which was to be expected for the price but. If in everyday use but not on.
The menu is in some settings quite headstrong. For example, I may adjust hue and saturation only via HDMI and the dynamic contrast can only in certain sections but not be set in the default profile. The other way around, I can not the default profile is not change the tone with a profile that. The dynamic contrast is not at all to use in my opinion, because it very significantly regulated and the annoying huge. However, the normal contrast is good and has still enough room for improvement.
The vertical viewing angles especially surprised me because they still are quite generous for a TN panel. Horizontal they are quite narrow, but that's just a monitor and not a TV in front of the seated several people.
My Settings in a darkened room for multimedia, movies, games, surfing:
Brightness: 37 Contrast: 43 Sharpness: Gamma 1: 3 AMA: a color temperature: Normal
Thus, the screen looks relatively natural, gray and white tones are shown differentiated and black is black. Only the brightness I would adapt to changing light conditions.
In another review is written that at lower gamma value of the contrast would increase which, at least under Windows, of course, is nonsense, otherwise the middle tones will be lost. Blacks are greyish and colors are bleached out.
Games Suitable for he is above all not connected with AMA definitely. Lightweight ghosting when the AMA is detected by Pixperan program, in games it falls not on, however. Input lag is not noticeable for me, but I feel no Pro Gamer of every millisecond.
All in all a cheap LCD with slight weakness on but you can ignore, suitable for multimedia and games. Photographers, graphic designers and people look at the movies a lot on the monitor and thereby need a homogenous natural image, rather look for an IPS or PVA panel. Biggest gripe is from my side the comparatively cold looking picture with this blue tinge in white backgrounds because the impressions of other buyers would interest me.
