This monitor is very good and provides you with a clear and crisp screen as well as a good viewing angle. The size of this screen is very nice and allows for a good resolution-to-size ratio. It reacts quickly and I have not noticed anything odd or wrong with the product thus far. I would like to state however that the button placement as well as the settings does bother me a slight bit. They are placed on the size and you can't always tell when the monitor is on as well as the settings being rather a pain to access as there are no clear indications as to what does what just dots. As for the technical details this screen is viable for almost any game as well as movies etc. It is only 60hz, which for some people isn't high enough, but for the vast majority it is more than enough.
A lot of people think you need the best graphics cards or processors or even monitors for video games, this is not true. The large majority of video games will play very smoothly on this monitor and unless you like to buy the best of everything or have a large amount of money to spend this will more than work for you.
Anything with an asterisk(*) I will go into further detail about below.
-View angle 5/5
-Resolution 5/5
-Bevel 4/5
-Settings 4/5
-Buttons 4/5
-Inputs 5/5 (includes HDMI)
-Compatibility 4/5*
So about the compatibility, this isn't a direct complaint to the monitor itself, however I felt it should be stated anyway. If you intend to use this monitor with windows 8/8.1 it will definitely work, but you may notice some oddities. Due to the nature of Windows 8 there is a lot of transparency and you may notice that some windows you will be able to see through slightly. This doesn't affect the use too much, however it may bug some people. I for one switched back to Windows 7 and do miss some features of 8, but I am going to wait for Windows 10 before changing again.
Overall this monitor is wonderful and if you can pick it up for under $160 I would definitely recommend it, I may at some point purchase two more and run three of them for gaming.
The adjustment buttons are soft but crisp which makes adjustments easier to make. The resolution is sharp and easy to read finer details than my previous HP monitors. The larger size screen is a surprisingly robust display of anything on display and the double monitor set-up spans 50 inches. Using these primarily for my business is so much better than before and again I must emphasize the low level of eye strain.
Pros: Easy setup, clean imaging, screen turns dark at resting, adjustment buttons sooth & crisp, little to no eye strain.
Cons: Cable plugins are difficult to see, no horizontal adjustment, bezel too thin on top for camera ( my Logitech monitor base mount touches screen).

La calidad es muy buena, el "monitor" es excelente! la calidad de imagen es muy superior a la television de 24 pulgadas que usaba antes. Sin este monitor tiene un tiempo de respuesta muy rapido de 2ms. Honestamente "no" noto la diferencia. simplemente se ve genial!..
Las personas que se quejan de las bocinas, les recuerdo que este aparato no es una "Television" es un Monitor!!! que por suerte viene con bocinas pequeñas como extra pero no es para eso! Yo no las he provado honestamente les connecto unas bocinas Logitech via la salida de AUDIO y se escucha mil veces mejor y mas por que viene con un mini subwoofer y las explociones son geniales. Recomiendo ampliamente este monitor.
Nota: Al inicio hay que jugar un poco con la configuracion, si dejan la que viene por default se ve un poco borroso la imagen (al principio no podia creer que se veia mejor la television que dio el gobierno y pensaba regresar este monitor). Pero despues de calibrar y jugar con la configuracion llegue a una que me gusto y la claridad y LOS COLORES wow son geniales!. Lo uso con Xbox one, pero este monitor tiene entrada; VGA, DVI y HDMI esta perfecto!!!!!!
Recuerden es MONITOR, no es una Television esta muy delgado por ese motivo no tiene mejores bocinas quieren algo para ver television a distancia, vayan por una Pantalla o hagan como yo connecte unas bocinas logitech (lo hago desde años ya que me gusta el subwoofer). Saludos.
Price: $$$/5 – Rather average price for a 24-inch monitor but definitely cheap considering all the extras it comes with (Blue light filter, ZeroFlicker, Eco mode…).
Ease of use: 4/5 – Everything is very easy to use except for navigating the built-in menu can be a hassle.
Quality: 4/5 – Seems well built; the plastic is high quality. Speakers are low quality, unfortunately.
Design: 4/5 – The design is good; VESA mount positioning is on point. The power cord is a decent length + isn’t too bulky. Slim & sleek profile.
Packaging: 4/5 – Nothing special. The protective plastic is nice.
Strengths – Effective, Lots of extras
Weaknesses – Low-quality speakers
Worth the money? – Yes, when it is on a lightning sale the quality for the price is pretty much unrivalled for a 1080p monitor.
Summary: 4/5 - Overall, I would recommend getting this monitor. It has a price point that is pretty average for a 24-inch 1080p monitor but it has the added benefit of a bunch of premium extras like blue light filtering & ZeroFlicker technology. The monitor is effective and is very easy to use except for the built-in menu navigation can be cumbersome at times. The monitor appears to be good quality, other than the speakers. I like that the power cord is a decent length.
Thank you for taking the time to read my review and I hope it helps you!!

I use this monitor on my Xbox 1 console. It looked great right out of the box and even better after I calibrated it to the Xbox 1 using it's test patterns. It can't quite resolve the last bar before true black so some of the deepest shadow details may be lost, but I haven't noticed a problem in even the darkest areas when gaming or viewing video on the Xbox.
Edit) I have now calibrated this monitor for use on my computer. I was able to adjust it to resolve all luminance levels of several calibration patterns I tried. No black level step missing when calibrated to my computer just the last step before black missing as mentioned when used with the Xbox 1.
The various blue light settings are handy. It appears to simply be a way to quickly select some pre set backlight levels. The colour settings remain the same which means the colour may appear more rich as you reduce the blue light level. Since many will use it to reduce eye strain when viewing text, which is more monochrome anyway, it works well.
Since it's a TN display it's viewing angles are more limited but when sitting in front of or slightly off center it has no uneven glow or washed out colour at any edge.
The monitor speakers are small and top volume is low but adequate for desktop use while viewing talking head video or podcasts. You can plug in some cheap PC speakers into the monitor's headphone output jack if you want loud enough sound to fill a room or plug in a sound system if you want even better sound for music or movies.
It doesn't come with a DVI or HDMI cable only a VGA. No stars lost for this since most monitors especially in this price range don't and won't. While I'm on the subject don't spend a lot for a HDMI cable. Since the signal is digital it either gets there or it doesn't. More than one manufacturer makes a fortune selling low loss HDMI cables when there is no benefit unless you need an extra long cable over 3 meters.
Recommended for budget gaming and general use.
