Fairly bright. Great for work, school, research, etc..

Need to tilt the monitor back to be able to see proper gradients of colours, so is not great for art-related activities (photo editing, graphic design, etc...)

Clear Picture, Overall Nice.

3 weeks after purchase there is now a dead pixel. It's tiny and barely noticeable but I personally think even though it's refurbished it should be free from dead pixels. And already sent in UPC for Rebate so I can no longer return it. Maybe this will...
