Bad out of the box...tweaking fixed it

First off, I bought two of these monitors for 129.99 each off Newegg...tha'ts about as cheap as its gonna get for a 1920x1080 21.5" monitor. Both arrived with no dead pixels which is a miracle in itself. I had to tweak the color settings a bit, but now they both look great.

The color setting on these things are HORRIBLE out of the box. The reds are neon to say the least. I set the collor temp to 9300k and did some final tweaking using the NVIDIA control panel for my video card and now they both look great.

No dead pixels....friggin awsome.....
Horrible color...fixable....
Durability....no tellin....we'll see I guess....
I deducted one egg because of the horrible color situation and the fact that you cant fully fix it using just the monitor. Using the OSD and built in setting I was not able to fully correct the color imbalance so I had to turn to my Video card to help out....no big deal, but other monitors that I have worked with do not have this issue, hence the one egg dropped.....

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Fine for a budget 21.5", but no DVI cable, for real??

Image is decent, perhaps not as accurate as a high end monitor, but bright, clear, and resolute. Response time is great for gaming and movie watching. Price was fair.

They only packed in a VGA cable, for real guys?? No DVI cable!! Fortunately I had an extra one laying around so I could hook it up to its highest quality connection, but these days I expect a DVI cable with any monitor I purchase. Monitor base is kind of cheap and wonky. You snap it on, and your not immediately sure if its all the way on, further inspection lead me to turn it around and snap it on the other way which was more stable.

I guess its a case of getting what you pay for. Its okay for its price.
