> 3 dayOK, FIRST of all, I only got this about 2 hours ago, so keep in mind that this IS subject to change. FIRST pros! 1. The ease of use was fine. After hooking it up, I simply hit the on button, the first switch from your right just to the right of and behind the prominent LED. The led is subtle and blue when on. I didnt need to set anything else. 2. It DOES tilt, but it isnt that obvious. Once assembled, you have to push the top of the monitor to tilt it. It should be a little easier, but it is fine. 3. The picture is fine. 4. If you have a VGA monitor, it comes with a cable for it. I got a long hdmi cable to hook it up. 5. The price seems about PERFECT! It seems the smaller ones are not much less, if they are at all, and ones that are slightly larger cost a LOT more, so this seems to be the current sweet spot. And in this range, this particular model is probably about in the center of the price range. The ONE con I had was that I spend so much time looking for a monitor with a good track record, that I slipped up on getting my one nice to have I hoped for, AUDIO. This has no audio, apparently. Otherwise, it is FINE for the moment. I spent a while, and even went to anther company, to make sue the reliability and features were there. Heres hoping I feel the same way 2 years and more from now. The last monitor I got, for another system about 4 years ago, and STILL working well, is a model that isnt made any more, and the related monitors have a lower general rating than I would like, so I picked THIS one. BTW I didnt rate gaming, as I dont play games. I imagine it is about as good as most monitors here.

> 3 dayI bought this to use as a second monitor for grad school. It serves its purpose, but Im no sure it would be a good choice for gamers (Im no expert though!). I like being able to work on a bigger screen than my laptop, and its way better for ergonomic purposes. The one think that I dont like is that it is SUPER bright. Im currently using the level 1 of brightness (out of 100), and thats the only level that I can stand. Other than that, its good for the price!

> 3 dayI purchased this monitor for my wife to use with her Alienware R17X4 laptop. She had broken a key on her keyboard but also wanted a little larger screen. So, I purchased a wireless keyboard and this monitor. She now uses the powerful Alienware laptop as a desktop with a larger display and a wireless, movable keyboard. She is a very happy camper. Others have commented on the great graphics, thin design, and good quality build for a great price, so I wont repeat those details here. I will however point out a few tips: 1. At first, it seems the stand will not tilt. But it does! Grasp the stand firmly and then tilt the monitor back to the desired position. Note it does not tilt forward or side to side, but does tilt back (facing more upwards towards your eyes) which really helps in most settings. 2. If you dont get a signal, make sure you plugs the HDMI cable into the HDMI out port on your PC, not the HDMI in port. Duh. I had mine plugged into the wrong port until I found my reading glasses and saw the problem. 3. We changed three settings which you may want to also do if you have a laptop. First, we changed the display settings to choose between Second screen only, Duplicate, or Extend. We chose Extend so she can have two documents open at once on the two monitors, her laptop screen and the new monitor. You just drag one document off the edge of the monitor to move it to the other screen. 4. Next, we found that closing the laptop, when she only needed one screen, put it into hibernation and shut everything down. We went into Control Panel and changed Power Settings under What happens when you close the lid. We changed it from Hibernate to Do nothing. Now the laptop keeps running even when the laptop is closed. 5. Third, most Windows laptops are configured so you have to drag things off the right edge of your new remote monitor to get them onto the laptop screen. However we wanted her laptop setting to the left of her new monitor, so it was confusing to have to drag something off the right-hand edge of the monitor to get it onto the left-hand screen on the laptop. We went back into display settings, where you can drag the two monitors in the settings to reverse them. Now, she can drag items from the left-hand screen to the right-hand screen by dragging them in that direction, and vice versa. Much more intuitive to use that way. With those changes to the settings, she can open the laptop and use it as two monitors, dragging and dropping documents and apps from one screen to another. When she closes the laptop lid, it reverts to a single monitor (the new Acer) but does not go to sleep. This is perfect for what she needs. She can still power off the monitor when not needed for an extended period. Also, the laptop speakers still work when she turns on the sound even when the laptop is closed. I highly recommend this monitor for anyone wanting a very good quality, cost-effective solution.

> 3 dayHonestly for the price (I think I paid 70 bucks) you cant really beat it. My main issue is that its not adjustable and not able to be rotated like my other monitor but otherwise really solid quality.

> 3 dayShopping was delayed by one day. Package arrived in great condition and with plenty of extra cords. The base was slightly hard to get on but use a little muscle and ur good. I got this as a second smaller screen for my gaming set up and it’s very helpful for filming and gaming and all the other multitasking things at the same time lol the base seems sturdy too and has a slightly larger footprint which is great since I’m clumsy and shake the table often. As a simple and affordable monitor I recommend it. Makes my switch look great.
