Initial issues, eventually fixed
Pros: 1) Looks quite high. I'm not that experienced with monitors but I'm certainly satisfied with the display's visual-wise 2) Easy to set up. Shipped quickly 3) Very cheap ($99 when I bought it)
Cons: NEEDS CALIBRATION. This monitor, when it first came in, looked absolutely awful. Colors were completely off. It was absolutely horrible. Here are the settings I found that made it look a LOT better. 1) Brightness: 75 2) Contrast: 70 3) Black Level: High (THIS ONE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. THIS MONITOR LOOKS LIKE GARBAGE WHEN BLACK LEVEL IS SET TO LOW) 4) Gamma: Gamma1 (this is the middle option) Once these settings were applied, the monitor looks much better. Before then, it is absolute garbage. Calibration is needed.
