Pros: It is vesa compatible, Came without any failed pixels, and it has a matte finish to both the screen and the frame.

Cons: At it's brightest you get a dull grey color. this monitor CANNOT do a true white at all. Darkest is a dark grey, CANNOT do a true black. I have played with settings on the monitor as well as with my graphics adapter. I am running 2 way sli gtx 770 and neither the nvidia settings or the onboard intel can do a thing to help it out.

Overall Review: If you have nothing else to compare it to it might be acceptable but because of the lack of range it can create a strain on your eyes even reading text on a document especially if there are other light sources(though still not as bad as if it were a glossy screen.
