Being of the older generation, I'm not very 'tec-hi' so I've relief on the young mans advice. I place a lot of trust in the brand-name Philips from my past appliance purchases so immediately mean quality. As a reconditioned item meant in suddenly came into my price range. The screen size was mainly what I needed from the 2 monitors in order to replicate the same work set-up at home. So far, it's been excellent.
