Exceptional monitor. Happy customer. 😎

Exceptional monitor. Happy customer. 😎
Very happy with this purchase. My cat knocked over my old Dell 24" LCD monitor and the warranty expired two months before, I did not wanna pay for another low quality monitor. I work from home most weekends so this was an emergency. Since I had some money left on my Amazon Gift Card, I used that to buy this monitor. I used this monitor at my former job except I think it had to be a 19", it also had an HDMI port. This one does not, but because it comes with the VGA cord and the largest white cord, I easily plugged it into my docking station and after fiddling with the screen resolution it works perfectly. I am okay with the fact that it does not tilt. I have no complaints about the resolution. A lot of reviews seem to be nitpicking about the tilt and resolution but instead of being cheap... Just search for a monitor that tilts and has good resolution. Reading is fundamental.Update. It tilts slightly up and down. Regardless, still a great monitor

4.0 out of 5 stars Affordable monitor for a good price
Reviewed in Canada on September 2, 2016
This is a nice budget LED monitor if you are looking for a cheap, quality monitor. It is a 21.5" monitor that has decent colour reproduction and is very clear. However, there are some flaws. The first is that you cannot adjust the height and the tilt of the monitor. I get that this is a upgraded feature, but without tilt, it makes the viewing angles bad at times. Secondly, there are no indicators of what the buttons at the bottom of the monitor do with the exception of the power button. Not a huge issue, but would like that so I don't have to refer to the user manual or online to find out what the buttons do. There are no vesa mount holes.

Also included in the box is a vga to vga, dvi to dvi cable, and a power brick to plug into an electrical outlet. For the price, this monitor cannot be mistaken.
