My second monitor is fitting remote access with ease and quality

My kiddo asked for this for his birthday. He needed an hdmi cable (separate purchase) to connect it to his laptop, but it is a much larger screen and better quality than his laptop. He’s thrilled with this gift and it’s working great for his gaming needs.

I have a desk at the home office, this screen was perfect for the space and quality, so far, is awesome. Not sure its gamer quality but Im not looking to play games.

I bought this because I needed a second display and didnt want to spend a lot of money. Its a good deal for the price but it doesnt have the color gamut I need and I noticed rightward ghosting of dark lines horizontal lines like text and the likes so Im returning it.

For $90, this is the best monitor you will get. I was on a budget and decided to get this monitor as an external display for my laptop, I use it for gaming and everyday use. Pros: - Good size (I wasnt looking for a big monitor) - Fairly thin bezels. They are still a bit thick but arent as bad compared to other monitors. - Decent color accuracy - 75Hz is fairly smooth. There is some ghosting when youre gaming, but if you dont pay too much attention, you wont notice. - Good for gaming. Cons: - Took me a while to calibrate. This monitor does not come out color accurate out of the box. The whites arent always white and blacks arent always black. - Screen bleeding. Being an IPS display, its kind of bound to happen. If you lower the brightness, it wont be so bad (depends on where and how bad your screen bleed is) - No HDMI cord - No built-in speakers

I purchased this monitor for my wife to use with her Alienware R17X4 laptop. She had broken a key on her keyboard but also wanted a little larger screen. So, I purchased a wireless keyboard and this monitor. She now uses the powerful Alienware laptop as a desktop with a larger display and a wireless, movable keyboard. She is a very happy camper. Others have commented on the great graphics, thin design, and good quality build for a great price, so I wont repeat those details here. I will however point out a few tips: 1. At first, it seems the stand will not tilt. But it does! Grasp the stand firmly and then tilt the monitor back to the desired position. Note it does not tilt forward or side to side, but does tilt back (facing more upwards towards your eyes) which really helps in most settings. 2. If you dont get a signal, make sure you plugs the HDMI cable into the HDMI out port on your PC, not the HDMI in port. Duh. I had mine plugged into the wrong port until I found my reading glasses and saw the problem. 3. We changed three settings which you may want to also do if you have a laptop. First, we changed the display settings to choose between Second screen only, Duplicate, or Extend. We chose Extend so she can have two documents open at once on the two monitors, her laptop screen and the new monitor. You just drag one document off the edge of the monitor to move it to the other screen. 4. Next, we found that closing the laptop, when she only needed one screen, put it into hibernation and shut everything down. We went into Control Panel and changed Power Settings under What happens when you close the lid. We changed it from Hibernate to Do nothing. Now the laptop keeps running even when the laptop is closed. 5. Third, most Windows laptops are configured so you have to drag things off the right edge of your new remote monitor to get them onto the laptop screen. However we wanted her laptop setting to the left of her new monitor, so it was confusing to have to drag something off the right-hand edge of the monitor to get it onto the left-hand screen on the laptop. We went back into display settings, where you can drag the two monitors in the settings to reverse them. Now, she can drag items from the left-hand screen to the right-hand screen by dragging them in that direction, and vice versa. Much more intuitive to use that way. With those changes to the settings, she can open the laptop and use it as two monitors, dragging and dropping documents and apps from one screen to another. When she closes the laptop lid, it reverts to a single monitor (the new Acer) but does not go to sleep. This is perfect for what she needs. She can still power off the monitor when not needed for an extended period. Also, the laptop speakers still work when she turns on the sound even when the laptop is closed. I highly recommend this monitor for anyone wanting a very good quality, cost-effective solution.

works well

I wanted to upgrade from my old monitor and picked this up on sale. Plug and play with a HDMI cable. My only problem is that sometimes the screen will cut to black when looking through photos, then immediately come back in. Not sure if it’s a driver related issue or something to do with my setup, but 90% of the time it’s a great monitor for gaming and videos. The price was right and the quality is good.

As advertised. Easy set-up.

Wasnt paying close enough attention I guess, but this model does not have built-in speakers. And thats my only complaint. But, as I use it as a second monitor on a notebook running my DMX lighting and another notebook providing the audio anyway I do not need them. Just a heads-up in case that matters to you.
