There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Connection was no problem at all; Mini DVI to VGA adapter to the MacBook, VGA cable (included with the monitor) from the adapter to the VGA port on the monitor. Plugged the monitor into AC power, turned it on. No picture immediately, unplugged the adapter from the MacBook and plugged it back in; there we go, picture. I found a couple of tutorials on using an external monitor with the MacBook, learned the various options, ran the System Preferences for "Display", set it the way I wanted it, and I'm up and running.
Picture on the monitor looks just great with the settings right out of the box, no reason to change anything.
It's been only 2 days, but so far, I'm very happy with this monitor; it's exactly what I was looking for. Easy setup, great picture quality, excellent price; who could ask for more...
Update. It tilts slightly up and down. Regardless, still a great monitor

Update. It tilts slightly up and down. Regardless, still a great monitor
The monitor was super easy to install, it came while I was at work and my not computer savvy husband and children managed to get it set up and working without my help. When I came home I double checked their work, but they had done everything correctly and I didn’t have to fix anything. That means that this is a good basic monitor for someone who may not have a lot of experience and needs something simple to set up.
It comes with a basic non-adjustable stand, this smaller size does not support using swinging/multimonitor stands or wall mounts that would screw into the back. I did find that it was a bit short for my personal preference and the stand is not adjustable height wise so I bought a monitor stand that raised it up about 4 inches and gave me room to store office supplies below. At this height with the stand it is perfect. It does slightly tilt so you can do some minor adjustment if needed for glare or comfort.
It does say that it is Full HD, but I just have it hooked up to my computer via a basic monitor cord (I think it is the VGA cord, my husband connected the cord that was plugged from the computer to the old monitor into this new monitor) so I don’t know if it truly is HD. I’m a bad judge at those kinds of things, it looks nice…better and brighter than my old monitor. I do more web surfing and using Microsoft Word and it looks good with all that I have used it for. My husband watches a lot of Youtube videos on it and says that the videos look better than the old monitor that it replaced.
I bought this to go with a new desktop computer. It's the first monitor I've purchased.
Pros:
-Gets going really fast. Super easy to plug in and go.
-Nice, comfortable size. Nice improvement from the 17 inch laptop screen I'm used to.
-Doesn't hurt my eyes
-Games look pretty damn good with a nice graphics card
Cons:
-I had to do a bit of brightness/contrast/gamma correction so that the colors looked good. Windows has a built in program that helps with that though. I imagine this is something you should do for every new monitor, so it's not a big deal at all.
- Colors change with tilt. Honestly though, it's not as bad as some people are describing in their reviews. The monitor will tilt, so it's easy to adjust. As long as you can find a comfortable watching angle (which could be achieved with any desk/table + chair), it's perfectly fine.
Need a budget monitor that will work and look nice? Get it!

Also included in the box is a vga to vga, dvi to dvi cable, and a power brick to plug into an electrical outlet. For the price, this monitor cannot be mistaken.
