What reviewers say

Reviewers liked the taller workspace, adjustable stand, accurate factory colours and flicker-free backlight. TFTCentral found normal overdrive delivered clean motion with little lag; LaptopMedia thought pixel response was slow for serious gaming. Both valued its office versatility. Missing DVI and VGA complicate older-PC connections, while TFTCentral criticised its lack of 16:9 aspect-ratio control for external video sources.
