Blown away by difference
Pros: Bright colors, thin size, good response time, very clear image, low power and generates significantly less heat than my last monitor
Cons: Handful of dead pixels (<5). Also, I mount the monitor using a VESA dual-monitor mount, but the monitor stalk is attached to the monitor and cannot be removed so it sticks out of the bottom.
Other Thoughts: My previous monitor was a 2006 20.1" 16:10 Sceptre that has served me well for the past 9 years. Unfortunately, the internal power supply died, so I had to replace it. Because I had such a good experience with my previous monitor, I decided to go with them again even though there were better-known company monitors for sale that were slightly cheaper.
The difference between the two monitors is night and day. I should have upgraded years ago! Regarding the dead pixels, I'm going to attempt to fix them however they are all scattered around the edge so they aren't that big of a deal.
