Moira Holmes, Glasgow

Score 8.0/10

+ The picture quality is excellent, and it was really just a case of plug in and go. No problems.

- Screen is a little too wide for me personally, but thats just an individual thing. Also, no flexibility to turn screen other than tip it up or down.

Matthew, Droitwich Spa

Score 9.0/10

+ Ultra-simple to set-up. Slim, sturdy design.

- Not-so straightforward for changing image colour etc. A little bit of guesswork is involved. When viewing from a slight angle, colours can appear very pale, compared to the old-fashioned bulky monitors!

Score 8.0/10

+ Works very nicely

- Bracket very badly designed, no adjustment for viewing angle, making the stand virtually useless and the picture quality much worse than it needs to be. Who wants a screen stood on books??. The knuckle joint is a roman invention, and would have made this screen so much better.

Score 9.0/10

+ every promised aspect of this product worked first time. extremely clear display, very easy to setup (with one minor? exception)

- the one minor ? exception was it took a while to realise that I needed to adjust my screen output to the right setting for it to display properly. Perhaps an "idiots setup guide" should be included

+ Supplied with installation disc which never actually needed. Just connect up and away it goes. Guess just need disc if want to make fine adjustments to suit yourself. Overall build quality, appearance and performance not the greatest but adequate for my use on a second PC. Overall a very good value for money product.

- All switches fiddly to access and out of sight underneath, including power. Blue ON light can be a bit distracting, at the bottom right in front, but you soon get used to it.
