Do not buy this monitor. I'm not sure if it's the age we live in why there are literally no monitor or computer showrooms anymore where you can go and view monitors side by side and pick the one you most like based on the picture. PC world has about 5 monitors instore these days and mostly they are switched off. The entire market has moved to showing display laptops instead.
Because of this the only way to choose a monitor is to read reviews online, watch youtube videos and then order one based on your impression over the internet.
Once you order it you have to hope that when it arrives and you set it up and switch it on it looks great and matches the review (even though many reviews online never mention picture quality, just numbers and stats which are useless to me).
Unfortunately I purchased this monitor without realizing the current state of monitors on the market nowadays as it is the first purchase i've made in about 10 years. For the price I just assumed it would be a great product, and most of the reviews on Amazon were positive.
I was really disappointed when I switched on the display. For a start 24 inches is too big for a 1080p resolution. There should be a 1440p option because there is more than enough space for it, and my eyes were crying out for a higher resolution (i've since learned that there are hardly any 24 inch monitors with a 1440p resolution available which is a shame).
I did my best to try and get used to the montor, but after 1 hour I admitted that I had made a bad purchase and for almost £200 there was no point in keeping it.
The screen was flickering too and my eyes started to hurt after a while. The display was very dim, and just the entire picture quality was awful. The fact that something like this can be made with such a bad quality and be sold for nearly £200 to a customer is unbelievable, but I guess we are now living in an age of crappy throwaway products and unfortunately Amazon is filled with them.
So my question is, today, how much will I have to spend to get a decent quality monitor, that I can't see until it arrives and I unpack it, set it up, and switch it on?
Amazon products are filled with numbers and statistics which make you think that what you're buying is an extremely high quality product, but it's a lie. They are mostly bad products and the descriptions, like Eyecare, 4K resolution, 144hz and a million other descriptions are just used to get you to purchase it.
I can guarantee you 10 or 15 years ago you would not see a monitor this bad on display in the high street electronics store.
My advice: do your research online, read reviews from trusted websites, not Amazon because the reviews are biased (except for most of the bad reviews). And lookout for descriptions in professional reviews about the monitor's 'picture quality' in particular.
