that these replaced: these were much brighter and showed better color

I'm not a stickler for perfect color, so I don't have a means of calibrating (nor do I plan to), so I can't tell you how imperfectly calibrated they are, but if you're looking for perfection and do a lot of photo/video editing, you'll likely want to go for a better calibrated monitor.- Speakers are tiny tin cans: I have a cheap bluetooth speaker on my desk that I'm not fond of (likes to turn itself off even when plugged in)
