Great Until it Crapped Out

Portrait mode usable with factory stand

Poor value
A stand that can’t hold the weight of the screen (poor adjustment range even if it could), three stuck pixels, uneven brightness on a dark screen. Poor value at any price.

Worthless
I am very computer literate and techno-savy, i.e. I know how to build a computer, install drivers, etc . . . Out of the box the monitor does not work.
