Good For a 90 dollar monitor. It didn't come with an HDMI cable (only VGA) which was annoying as I had to buy one. Otherwise a great budget monitor.

Doesn't come with speakers, VESA mounting, or an HDMI cable, even, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars. However, I still think it's a highly recommendable second monitor (as long as you don't really need that VESA mount) for anyone who wants more screens without dropping too much money. It's cheap but still perfectly functional for anything that needs a baseline 1080p 60fps.

Colors look kind of off straight out of the box, and the stand has very little adjustability - only tilt up and down. There's also no vesa mounting point. For the price, though, it's decent enough, and I haven't noticed any strong unevenness in the backlight.

Colors seem a bit weird, but that may also be because I used a crappy dell laptop screen where I had to crank the gamma up to max for years to counter the dullness of that display. But, this monitor has satisfied me a lot and I intend to buy a second one at some point. Great for the price point.

Keep in mind, there are no built-in speakers. That's one mistake I overlooked and ended up having to buy separate speakers.

Very basic monitor. I have 2. But it's good for what it cost and I plan to replace the main one soon and use the other in a portrait configuration.

It's very thin and looks nice, although the screen is a tad small. The box only comes with a VGA cable by default and there's no DisplayPort, so you'll likely need an HDMI cable. AMD hasn't released open source support for FreeSync over HDMI yet (only DisplayPort) so unfortunately I can't use FreeSync on Linux with this monitor.

Great Monitor for price. I paid 87 dollars for it off of amazon and it has served me well as my first monitor. I don't play that many games on it so haven't really put the 75hz to the test. Love it for the price.

There really aren't very many options for monitors in the 21-22" size range, but this one is really good value for the price. You pretty much can't get a monitor this cheap that's as good, this is an amazing budget option currently. The colors are nice and vibrant, though the black levels aren't (especially with some backlight bleed in the bottom corners), and the ghosting is particularly mediocre (and the Overdrive options both have too much reverse ghosting), but for the price, there really isn't much to complain about here.

They are great monitors for the price, the only downside is the coating on the screen is very attractive to moisture and shows up alot

Nice as a second/third monitor, wouldn't have it as my primary though.
