These are great monitors, but the speakers are really quiet. If you want any volume, buy the "AmazonBasics USB-Powered Computer Speakers" to go with this monitor. Those speakers are about $14, and they're great.
Wow. This monitor is something else. All i can say is for the price of this monitor its really really good! And my gaming has improved by so much with this thing!
bought this to replace my current monitor that had color distortion as primary and to use the old one as a secondary monitor. let me say having a 2nd monitor is the best thing ever. set up was simple and the difference is beyond compare. image was a lot brighter than I was used to tho. I got this at the same time as WoW upgraded visuals and tech on alot of things and started giving many people problems. I got bad headaches and tbh I'm not sure if it was the game or monitor or combination of both. I bought a pair of yellow tinted glasses and turned the settings on the monitor down and things have gotten alot better tho I do still get headaches from extended use. I am also not playing WoW as much so Idk which was the problem or which was the solution. I looked at alot of monitors and this was by far the best in the budget I set. Great value and lots of features.
Sure, this is a budget monitor. No, it's not going to be as exact in colors as a monitor that costs three times the price. ...but you know what? This monitor has been great for gaming, some light graphic design, browsing, typing, page layout, and everything else I've thrown at it. It was purchased to become my primary monitor as my previous (solitary) monitor moved over to serve as a secondary screen and I've found myself turning off the original screen and just leaving this one on to help make sure I get tired a bit sooner. The low blue light (however they do it) seems to do a great job of not keeping me up longer than I should stay up and it has been super easy on the eyes. I'd recommend this monitor to anyone.
I have 2 of these to complete a triple monitor setup. Due to my gfx card I have to use them as variety of setup so one is DVI and one is HDMi to dp I think. The one that is DP is a like slow on load up when I turn the monitors but functions great. The one that is DVI is sensitive and if you wiggle the wire it will turn to lost signal error, but I don't move them often and they are wall mounted, so I didn't bother with a return/exchange. It's been about 5 months, so far great. They run eyefinity (AMD triple resolution) fine if you can make it work with Windows 10. Every new update with Windows 10 and usually the eyefinity fails and sometimes never get it back, so I don't usually run eyefinity anymore due to Windows 10 (I have 10 pro, doubt it will even work on 10 home). I don't actually use these monitors for gaming, but I did test it and looked great. I have an ips as my third main middle monitor. I would recommend these and buy another.

I just bought two of these monitors last week, and I've wavered for a while between giving these monitors four or five stars. The only reason I even considered lowering the rating to four stars is because the speakers on these monitors are so weak as to be nearly useless. But I didn't buy them for the speakers, so that doesn't matter to me. For someone else, that may be more of a consideration.
Pros -
Crisp and clear picture. (1920 x 1080)
Great price.
VESA compatible. (100 x 100)
VGA, DVI, HDMI, and 3.5 mm audio inputs.
Audio output (if you want to use headphones with them.)
Cons -
Terrible speakers
As other reviewers have mentioned, these might not be the monitor for you if you have heavy graphics demands (online gaming or video editing). But for normal day to day use, you can't do much better that these for the price.
Picture Quality: I quite like it. The screen seems to not have the lag time of my previous monitor. I don't game a ton, mostly Warframe and state of decay 2, but it looks very nice on those games. I am colorblind so I can't speak to the richness of the color, but the colors I can see blue/yellow seem nice.
If I had a complaint about this monitor. The stand is a little cheap and seems to snap in and out when adjusted. I have switched to a monitor arm and used the vesa mounts.
My only other complaint is the buttons. They are easy to bump when adjusting the monitor. I wish they weren't quite so sensitive so if you bump one it wouldn't change your settings. I would probably buy a second one for a dual monitor setup. I feel the quality is good for the price.
This thing flickers quite a bit in dark scenes. I googled "led-lit lcd flickering" and apparently it's a result of pwm led lighting (it pulses the leds). Not sure why they have to flicker or why exactly it happens. I adjusted brightness, contrast etc from minimum to maximum and didn't notice much of a difference, though brighter did make it a little better. Right now it's hooked up to my Xbox 360 (no PC at the moment) playing Thief with the in-game brightness set at 50% and I can notice flickering in dark corners. So basically it's an inverse relationship between brightness and flickering. More brightness = less flickering. Less = more.
I'm going to give this a week and see how much it bothers me. I also heard that some people get headaches because of it, so we'll see. I might return it if I don't think it's worth the cheap price. If I keep it I'll give a more detailed review.
I was going to leave a bad review for the monitor because it came with a yellow tint. No amount of tinkering the settings was able to fix it. I was going to return it and had another monitor picked out, but when I came back to it a couple hours later, everything was fine! Maybe the pixels needed some time to "warm up?" I'm not too knowledgeable with hardware / physics so I cannot justify this phenomenon, but this screen is way better than my Asus monitor with the same specs!
I have this monitor paired to an Intel i7 CPU and a RX580 black edition GPU and the monitor looks very good. While not 4k color and clarity are very good and I have no dead pixels. For the price of this monitor it is hard to find better in this class. I also have a higher end Viewsonic but I prefer to use this monitor daily especially the low blue light feature for reading and web browsing. I waited some months to review to make sure of the quality. If you are look for a good monitor in this price range this is the one to buy.
