The monitor itself provides a very good picture. The colors are very realistic and the focus does not allow objections.
The advantages of IPS panels were crucial for me to buy. In all areas of application requested by me (working under Windows, games and films), the monitor makes just joy.
In a totally black image at the bottom of light halos are visible. These are not covered during operation, however, on so I see no reason for the devaluation.
The only drawback could be the pedestal. He can not be adjusted in height and is mMn too high. A light, obliquely from above perspective was impossible for me. So the eyes but then ever on the lookout.
That was me, however, already known in advance and is certainly the main reason for the very reasonable price. I had already planned to continue to use the base of my old HP W2207 when buying. This I could thank Vesa mounting continue to use and now enjoy a great monitor I can do according to my needs.
