I always like to start with the positives, and as far as a monitor goes this one performs well in all the areas you would expect. No dead pixels and a decent color. Set up is easy with dual HDMI inputs plus a vga and 3.5mm aux in. Even comes with a nice dvi to HDMI cable so you can still use two monitors even if your graphics card only has one HDMI output. Now for the one big negative I have. I'm not sure how, but the while thing is kinda flimsy. I have the stand secured as tight as I could get it, but if I bump my desk then the screen will wobble from side to side. It's not causing any damage, and it's not going to fall over. Just annoying have your whole screen wobble. If you were mounting it on a bracket this wouldn't be an issue so your experience may differ.
