Pros: It was time to replace an aging moonitor and needed to stay within a small budget and screen size to fit the spot. This is probably the best monitor below $100 ever made. I find the its best to adjust it from Nvidia control panel rather than the monitor settings. It has VGA, HDMI & DVI connectors, Image is not washed out like some monitor its simply very bright, a few tweaks with Nvidia settings tone it down but whenever viewing which background pages or folder it is very bright. Mesa mount, HDMI audio out, cable hook in the back of stand i mean for less than a$100 this is a steal. In my line of work i have bought hundreds of monitors from different brands, it is listed as 1ms Gray to Gray response so i bought it and got it from Newegg within a day delivered. In my many years in IT purchasing equipment i have never seen a more true color monitor. where its somewhat of a struggle to get an acceptable balance between warm \ cool picture or just getting grays to be true gray this monitor is the most accurate I've ever seen. the white is white, gray is simply gray. Although i prefer my picture "warm" to protect eyes a bit i was not able to get this monitor to give me the kind of warm picture i wanted and to be honest considering the color reproduction is so accurate i don't mind. I am running it at 1920x1080 @75hz custom resolution and the monitor does not complain about it.
Cons: Blue light filter has 3 levels i put it on lowest because it is aggressive even at number 1 setting which is lowest of 3 and ended up turning it off altogether because it simply not great. I turned off Dynamic contrast setting, it has always been a failed attempt by manufacturers and Ive seen it on other monitors, it simply acts like your cell phone auto brightness which is very annoying so just keep it off. Fast response settings has 3 levels, it works well on #1 fast response and #2 faster settings but there is noticeable tearing if set on #3 fastest setting.
Overall Review: It's an incredible buy under $100, fast response, bright not hazed or faded. If using HDMI you need to change settings in NVIDIA control panel for full dynamic contrast range and get solid blacks. Unlike TN monitors which a lot of time have faded brightness on black and limited contrast range when playing with settings i find this monitor to have amazing contrast range when setting up. I took a chance and I'm happy with it. Also can't beat Phillips 4-year warranty on this one.
