I’m sat in front of this monitor right now, wondering what else lives in that huge cabinet behind it. It is a clear display but it hurts my eyes after a while and does not have any on screen controls. This monitor doesn’t support extremely high end resolutions as it is only small. Features-wise, it has five buttons at the bottom, plus the power button, which look like something out of star-wars due to the little lights and funny pictures. It has no on screen controls, but they are all done by little lights flashing away at button presses. Now my monitor is mounted, so I like to be able to swivel it about on its fixed mount. Unfortunately, this monitor moves like a large dead animal, and when it does move it jumps violently like its about to rip my bracket of the wall. It is however plug and play, no software to be installed, which is about its only good point. All in all this monitor is small and has no real purpose. I would not recommend it to anyone looking for even a cheap visual solution.
