Conclusion
I purchased the monitor due to the high refresh rate as I used to get bad migraines from computers and this resolved my problems. The only problem I have found with this product is one summer a fire fly somehow made its way under the plastic cover and has burnt its self to the screen making it unable to remove. The pan and tilt on the monitor is fantastic along with picture quality. Would only use the monitor on the DVI input as this seems to clear the image a lot. You can use multiple PC’s with this monitor due to the VGA and DVI inputs, great buy!
