As with most dell products, this monitor is of high quality. I use this at work for 8 hours a day, and my eyes are not strained at the end of the day like they are on most monitors. The picture is crisp, and the size of the monitor is perfect to see a lot of different windows, while not being too big that you are getting lost.

The border around the screen is very thin, so it gives the illusion that the viewing area is very large. I have had monitors with thick borders and it seemed to take away from the actual picture.

There are buttons on the bottom right corner for power, brightness / contrast, menu, and auto-detect. The menu is straight forward. It has options for brightness, corlor, default reset, auto adjust, and image settings. The options are easy to navigate through and in about a minute, you can have your monitor looking exactly the way you want it.

The monitor is easy to keep clean. I dust mine with a computer monitor brush and it looks great. Fingerprints don't show up, but sometimes oil from your fingers will smudge the screen.

Overall, this is a great monitor. It has a great space-saving design and is long lasting.
