This LCD monitor is an excellent buy. Good contrast with height adjustment. No dead pixels. But if you are using it mainly for text, EIZO will be a better choice. I put the two monitors side by side and I could tell the difference. There is a power button next to where you attach the power cord to the LCD monitor. Remember to turn THAT power button on or you may find yourself looking at a dead monitor. I have 3 LCD monitors on my desk and this Samsung monitor presents the best value. I am very happy with this Samsung monitor and I’d buy another one after I replace my desk.
This monitor is great value of you don’t really care about the accuracy of color. It’s quite bright and has great contrast though it has an occasional faint swarming grain that does not go away with auto-adjust. You may or may not notice the grain. I tried for over an hour to get the colors calibrated and eventually gave up. It has a few pre-defined color profiles and they are all useless and wildy inaccurate. Colors are bright and over-saturated because they are clipped so it’s pretty, just not accurate.
For games and text it’s probably great but side-by-side with a good quality LCD you can definitely tell the difference. I would pass on this one if you do any photo editing or create graphics people are going to look at on other monitors.
