Same resolution as my laptop

I just set mine up but im disappointed with the resolution. I didn't realize it was only 1920x1080... That's what my laptop has. I bought a monitor to get more screen space, view more information, etc. I'll have to return it and get one with better resolution.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I think this monitor is ok for a work monitor. I must express this .This monitor is not recommended for gaming, for one the monitor does not support motion blur reduction. When using freesync the response time cannot be changed and the response time is automatically set to standard. This makes the ghosting visible, disorientating and sometimes nauseating. When freesync is off and the monitor is set to fastest response time it looks fine, until you play a game. There is a sharp tone that appears when images a moving on the screen and a small not very noticeable after a while ghosting. This can be overlooked since it does clear up the screen some what, aslo enabling gamemode does not help this issues. The lack of back-light strobing and MBR makes it hard to use. So if you are not gaming it is a good monitor otherwise find an alternative.
I planned to use this to screen mirror my iPad through a Roku streaming stick to ease eye strain. There is considerable lag in the response time, especially when using my wireless mouse. I wonder if the “FreeSync” would change the lag time, but it seems to already be built-in and activated out-of-the-box? It’s also time-consuming to get start. Using a TV, AirPlay automatically turns on the TV, but for this monitor, the monitor must be started manually and there’s no dedicated on/off button, so I’ve got to use the one little button on the bottom center edge of the monitor — and I can barely figure it out — and instructions regarding how to work that button didn’t come in the box. The tilt of the monitor is not enough for eye comfort. I wedged in a tile underneath the base to tilt the monitor upward to a more comfortable viewing level. Also, using AirPlay with the TV, I could send the picture to the monitor and the sound to a speaker other than the TV, but with this monitor, the picture and the sound always go to monitor. In retrospect, this monitor really is not adequate for this particular task; I should have bought a TV for this task instead.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

If I knew it was a static mount, I would not have purchased it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my monitors for everyday normal use, surfing the web, checking emails, and watching content. The monitor is great and wasn't overly expensive. The only issue I have with it is the refresh rate.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was using this monitor for my work. The resolution was high and color contrast was good. I will definetly recommend this to others.
