slight issue"i was not expecting this monitor to be as good as it is viewing angles are great colours are vibrant and the bezel isn't that big ive seen bigger lets get straight into the pros and cons pros: good viewing angles great vibrant colouring easy to use menu cons: the buttons are on the side meaning a multi monitor setup is awkward if you want to change the settings around attracts lots of dust and fingerprints all in all this is a great monitor but if your looking for gaming then i suggest you go elsewhere as only 60hz good be a slight issue"
