For me, this causes eye strain to the point I had to enter my nVidia settings and mess with the color control there

It serves well enough as a cheap secondary monitor for a home dual monitor setup, but I would recommend against it as a primary monitor if you're prone to eye strain like me

so I wouldn't continue to suffer from eye strain using my laptop screen.

This greatly reduced eye strain but about 25% of the darker spectrum becomes black

colors not as vivid as I had

Can't complain too much as it's a cheap monitor.

not as sharp as I had hoped, but fairs well for documents and spreadsheets

Then another ½ hour on the internet finding many users as perplexed as I with no guidance on how to make those darn buttons do what is needed.
