An $130 IPS Display - Solid buy
on February 3, 2017
Posted by: SusanOnymous
tl;dr: This monitor was a great buy for the price at which I bought it ($130). It was fantastic to find an IPS monitor that has 2 HDMI ports which is difficult to find in 24" - 27" monitors at this price point.
(DISCLAIMER: I have had the monitor for 5 days)
(DISCLAMIER 2: I do not know much about monitors. I'm an average Joe in this department. But I can tell what is eye pleasing and what's not...so hopefully this review helps...)
Reason for buying it: I needed a monitor to connect my laptop to to free some space on my desk. I also wanted more screen area to fit the multiple windows I need open for software development.
Design: The design is slick and thin. I love the thin screen and the stylish metallic stand. It does not take up much room on my small desk which is a plus. Its contemporary style goes quite nicely in my room.
Image Quality: The colors are vibrant as expected of a IPS display. It also has minimal to no light-bleeding. The image quality is good but not great. Images do not look too sharp on the screen. It is possible to increase the sharpness of images through the menu settings but doing so causes text to look jagged and difficult to read. I currently am using the Gaming color setting which I find to be a good balance of picture quality with easy to read text.
Glossy/Matte Screen: The screen is neither fully glossy nor matte. It lies in an in between state. This probably contributes to the lack of great looking colors and images expected from a glossy screen. However it is a good medium of both worlds and allows for long sessions of textbook reading as well as enjoyable Netflix binging.
Brightness Level: Its bright. Very bright. It can light up half of my room in pitch darkness. The lowest brightness setting is good for reading.
Conclusion: Overall, I think the monitor is a solid buy for the price point of $130 as a 25" IPS monitor. It doesn't blow me out of the water with its image quality but its very good nevertheless. If you are looking for a monitor for day to day use and heavy reading, this monitor should do the job.
I would recommend this to a friend!
