I was very excited when I purchased one of these monitors. When I first turned it on, I noticed that there were several lines of dead screen across the monitor. Of course, I immediately returned it.Because it looks so cool, I exchanged the original monitor for a new one, to give it a second chance. And guess what - I had the same defections again. I then gave up and purhcased a monitor from another brand and am very happy with it.DO NOT buy this monitor!!!
