It's a generic monitor made out of cheap materials. It will probably last a few months (about 4-6 I'd say). It's not color corrected and is very orangish and warm so if you are buying it for any multimedia use like picture or video editing then don't (I can't color correct it manually either.), that being said it is good for gaming. The brightness is moderate and is not suitable in a very brightly lit room and the refresh rate is about 30Hz. Physically the monitor is NOT well built and is very light weight, that being said it is good for READING and long OFFICE usage. I took this for my cheap build and it is good if you want a PC under 15,000
