Overall good. It works for almost every purpose, photoediting, surfing, watching movies, gaming etc. It is also quite cheap, but it still has the quality you are looking for.

You can't live with only the built-in speakers if you are listening to music or watching videos, because the speakers seems only to be mono, and they are placed on the back of the screen, so the sound bounces on the wall before it hits you, so the sound quality gets rather bad. But if you have alternate speakers, then it doesn't really matter.

I've had this screen for 2 years now, and it still feels like new. No dead pixels or other damages.

The design of the screen isn't too good, but the design isn't the main part of a monitor, it is how well it shows the picture.

The only bad experience I've had, is that the power cord doesn't fit very well into the screen, so it often falls out and I have to plug it in again.

So if you want a good and cheap monitor, I recommend you to get this one.
