The case and cover on this excellent little monitor are made of durable ABS plastic. Here is my rundown: Pros: Super compact, light, single Type-C cable for signal+power+audio, moderately bright, anti-reflective matte screen. 60Hz. Nice packaging w-decent power adapter + cables. Compact/minimalist stand +flip cover. Sufficient rear-firing sound, but not loud. Super thin and easily packed. Cons: A little edge/backlight bleed from IPS panel - but not a real problem, Volume setting is not remembered after sleep/wake or power off cycle (always resets to 50%). Bottom line: Recommended!

8/10

I use this mostly for programming in a well lit room. The small size makes 1080 text look as crisp as any 4K monitor. Compared to my MacBook Pro, I can see some backlight bleeding, but, its not unbearable. As to color reproduction - Id say it rivals my Samsung 27 4K Monitor My biggest complaint is the button to get to the menu. The button has 4 positions: up, neutral, down, in. Pressing up and down is super easy. Pressing in, it seems hit or miss. If theres even the slightest up or down movement, the IN movement seems to get over-ridden and the menu item up or down gets highlighted (but not selected) After some practice, its easier to navigate. The second complaint is the power cord is REALLY short - maybe 4 or 5 feet. and finding a USB-A to USB-C cable is pretty hard. Luckily, my power strip is right below my desk, so, I dont have any issues, but, just something to consider. THE GOOD They provide a Micro-HDMI cable that is truly awesome. I mean, its really good quality, and not stiff. Again, the color is REALLY good for a monitor this cheap. Its as good as a $300 Samsung, but I have a $500 LG that looks way better. But again, its about 4xs the cost. The case turns into a stand and its really good. Its the perfect angle for working, it doesnt take up a lot of desk space, and the case it soft. I trust this case to protect my screen. OVERALL Im happy with my purchase and my buy another one. The bad, are not bad enough to NOT buy if you need a small monitor for programming and need more desk space. It also works perfect if you want to hook an AppleTV up to it to watch something while traveling. The included cables are good quality, the case protects the monitor amply, and the monitor is small enough to fit into a laptop backpack with a 13 MacBook pro, and both chargers and not be too big or bulky

Buena resolución, buenos colores, antirreflejos.

1st things 1st, have been an Amazon customer for more than 15 years and this may be my first review. Why? Because I took a chance on this fairly unknown monitor and wanted to inform future potential buyers. So the first one arrived DOA, no physical damage, just a scrambled screen. Amazon had a replacement in my hands two days later and wow...going from a 24 inch 1080p monitor to this monster was a huge jump. Running 2xGTX970 in SLI and saw about a 20fps hit from 1080 to 1440p (Currently 80fps on BF V High settings). - No dead pixels - Fairly easy set up for anyone with half a brain (instructions are almost worthless) - Used an Ivanksy DP cable as others have said the included one was trash, be careful not to strip the small screws in the stand - 165hz causes some heavy ghosting in text, but not very noticeable in game (BF V), dropped it to 144hz and text is better -Color and contrast is much better than my ASUS VG248QE (TN) - OSD is fine, gets er done - Bezel is small but not the smallest, no gamer type aesthetics (A good thing) I read a bunch of reviews of people with these elite standards (Haters) and as someone who games regularly, works occasionally, this monitor more than serves my purpose. I dont need some response time only a sensor can recognize or professional colors that I would never notice.So after only 3 days it seems like a real win. I will update this review if I have any issues in the future.

Windows 10 inherently has scaling issue when you have a big sized monitor/high resolution like this one in a multi-monitor setup. My text and overall windows toolbar/apps text were blurry and shadowed, fiddling Windows cleartype settings didnt do much, not even the scaling to beyond 100%. I had to apply the registry hack (also there is a tool that does the job i.e. Windows 10 DPI fix ) and after that, the monitor and windows 10 danced together nicely. Texts are sharp and clear, toolbar menu is all nice as it should be. This is not this monitors fault evidently. For normal desktop use, you wont find it much different than your regular office monitor but its when you are gaming, thats when it shines gloriously. Gears 5 is much more vivid that before on my old LG monitor. The only thing Im missing on this monitor is the ability to tilt and swivel. That is a basic necessity these days for a monitor, I hope the manufacturer will incorporate this in their future models. Overall happy with my purchase. Now back to my Gears 5 mission. :)

It worked fine for me for about a year with pretty good results and then one day it just stopped. I had it on a shelf for a while and recently pulled it out to test again before deciding if I really did need to dispose of it. That is when it promptly started to melt (see my image). It was VERY hot. Not sure if Im an outlier or not but it felt like a good time to share my experience. Its one thing for it to break. Quite another to start to catch on fire.

DO NOT BUY THE MODEL WITH NO VA OR IPS. You will get jipped, bamboozled and have a bad day unless you know what you are doing. If you pick the one with no IPS in the Style name, you will experience intense ghosting and color artifacts that feel as if the monitor were retrieved from the crusty industrial warehouse. I got this monitor for my daughter, who is crying as I write this review (shes 9 years old) The box the monitor arrives in feels used, and it has a sticky residue if you know where to look. The ghosting was horrible. White-on-black text will morph into a putrid yellow artifact. Color artifacts were present as well if you switched the color options & refresh rate. The display itself was not stable in between changes. 144hz would make the display appear crisp and great, despite the ghosting. 119hz would wash the output with a horrible tone of white. Honestly, the only redeeming characteristics of the monitor are the: OSD, stand design and bevel.

This may sound trivial but monitor doesnt have an on and off button,for my application that is very inconvenient because i use it in a two monitor system. in order to get best use out of it i have to unplug the power cord to allow my video card to sync my other monitor. I am also not crazy about the one button on screen tuning would have liked to have had a remote with on off and on screen tuning,the button on the back of the monitor is very inconvenient for my setup as i have to resync this monitor often. Just my 2 cents worth but if your getting it for a 2 monitor system i wouldnt recommend it. picture quality is good and refresh is good just the above mentioned inconvenience for me.

I have had this monitor for a couple of days now and I must say it works fantastically. The picture is beautiful, gameplay is seamless, and overall I am very impressed with this monitor. I am glad that I read the reviews about the included DisplayPort cable as the one that is provided is not very high-quality. I went ahead and spent $6 on a decent cable on Amazon and I havent had any problems whatsoever, not a single stuck pixel, not a single dead pixel, guess I got lucky. The included stand requires some assembly but, unlike other people who have reviewed this products, I feel that the stand is more than adequate is actually quite sturdy. The monitor has a very nice build quality and overall I am very impressed, at first I was a little timid about buying a monitor from a company that I knew nothing about. After a little research I discovered that this particular screen is actually made by Samsung and then pixio puts these monitors together, I am rather fond of Samsung screens and this one clearly is no slouch it is an a+ product. I will not dock stars from this product because of the experience I had in shipping, however it was terrible. now I do realize that this is peak holiday shopping season and I do realize that there are probably a billion packages to deliver all over the United States but it does not excuse the customer service that I received from UPS when dealing with this package. In all I ordered this on Monday and it took over a week before I got the monitor. The customer service was so terrible that I will personally never use UPS as a carrier ever again, I was hung up on by a customer service supervisor and then I was patronized by another one, it wasnt until I got Amazon customer service involved that anything actually got done as far as UPS was concerned. Amazon for the love of all your goodly good things, allow the shopper to pick the carrier!
