I have owned this screen for about 4 years now. It's a great screen in general but there are some features of it that stop it getting a full five stars.
1. The LED power button is quite bright. This becomes an issue when you turn off the lights to watch a movie and you have this annoying bright blue light shining at you.
2. The on board speakers are pretty rubbish, but what can you expect from speakers on a monitor?

For starters, I haven't experienced many of the problems other people have mentioned. The build quality is really great and Windows 10 hasn't caused any compatibility issues as far as I can tell.

PROS:
-Amazing Display
-Build Construction is phenomenal
-Trackpad hardware is good, but the software can sometimes ruin it.
-Battery life is decent when using an external monitor.
-Touchscreen is responsive.
-Small bezels mean small footprint, making it very portable.
-Minimal Bloatware ("Free" pre-installed games, etc.)

CONS:
-Chrome just doesn't really work right. Flash is slow and scrolling is truly a nightmare.
-With a high res display there are some scaling issues.
-Connecting to an external monitor with different scaling is a nightmare. Windows 10 tries to choose the right scaling but it doesn't implement it correctly and you end up having to configure things yourself.
-Two finger scrolling in Chrome is awful. Install the Chrome add-on SmoothScroll to fix many of the issues. Luckily, this is a software problem not a hardware one. Scrolling is buttery smooth in Microsoft Edge and Windows apps, Google needs to add Microsoft Precision Trackpad support and then this will no longer be an issue.
-Trackpad can be a little jarring when you try to make small movements (not just in Chrome, everywhere).
-The high res display is a huge battery suck and reduces my usage time to 3 hours with the brightness low.
-Keyboard is decent but the travel is a little low. Not a huge negative, just not a plus. You can't expect much with a laptop this thin though.
-Doesn't feel as good as a Macbook Pro in terms of out of the box usability. Microsoft and PC manufacturers have yet to find the correct balance and combination to make a laptop perfect for the user right after you turn it on for the first time.
-Webcam placement and quality is pretty bad. I never use a webcam so this isn't an issue, but for anyone that uses a webcam regularly this computer simply will not work for you.

This laptop has a few faults that bother me quite a bit, but overall I think this is the best Ultrabook out there right now despite this.

The screen is an acceptable size and is generally useful, but it does not magnify the size of viewed print or objects very much.  I estimate that it may be able to double the print size depending on the distance between the screen and the viewed material.  Also of note is the fact that the image becomes more obscure as the distance away from the material increases.  I find the screen adequate for reading newsprint but sorely lacking if attempting to read small print or information on prescription bottles.

A final point of concern:  The screen and its stand are not balanced very well.  The assembly tips over too easily so it needs to be held to stabilize it even when placed on a flat surface

It plays DVDs well, as a DVD player should, it is portable, the battery life is okay, and overall features for the price point are good.

However, my biggest issue is with the display resolution.  It feels equivalent to watching standard def TV, rather than a DVD quality display.  Since we are bound to compare the display resolution of this DVD player to that of the tablets out there in the market, the quality of the display of this player is still far from the quality that tablet devices have to offer.

I wish the tech specs had informed of the display resolution, but that information was not available.

The screen is very nice looking.  However, there are a few problems:
* The waxing/warnishing is not complete...in the there is no warnish between the carved areas except the excess when they did the flat sides
* The leg was warped on arrival -- and the packing was quite damaged
* There is significant fuming that overtook my house.  I have 2 small kids--so this is a major issue.  I left it with a fan all night to blow it out of the house.  If it doesn't stop gassing after another day, it is going back.
* It weights ~50 lbs not nearly the ~75 that is listed on amazon

Highlighted key features and my take on the practicality or usefulness of these features:

1. SuperClear MVA technology for stunning color performance and wide-angle viewing - Best with HDMI, only average with VGA
2. Flexible connectivity options include HDMI and VGA - Not all machines come with HDMI and VGA is a fading technology (this monitor really needed a DVI connection option)
3. Full HD1080p resolution provides superior pixel performance - Yes, provided you have HDMI available
4. Exclusive ViewMode technology delivers superior color rendering and intuitive settings - Not all that amazing:  I really don't want or need to adjust the color based upon whether I am watching a movie or viewing the web.
5. Flicker-free and Blue Light Filter technology for more comfortable viewing - Finally a feature that can be used with both HDMI and VGA and yes, its easier on the eyes
6. One of the industrys best pixel performance policy - Yes, but only if used with HDMI

One feature that is not expounded upon by the manufacture is the built in sound and there is a reason for that its not very loud (I can get better sound out of my cell phone speaker).

This particular monitor is a very good monitor IF you are able to take advantage of the HDMI connection instead of the VGA connection.  VGA is capable of fairly high resolutions and frame rates however it's still an analog signal and any visual feature would be degraded with the VGA connection rather than the HDMI connection.

The short of it is this monitor should have a DVI connection available. HDMI is the best connection option, VGA is the lowest connection option, so there should be a middle ground which would be DVI.  Strangely, the illustrations for hookup show a HDMI and DVI port but this model does NOT have DVI  only HDMI and the soon to be outdated VGA connection.

To help answer a lot of questions, let's get down to the details.

pros:

1. Quite hearty and can handle many programs running at once.
2. Compatible with pretty much anything any PC should be. Most programs whether they're videogames, paint and design programs, animation programs, or pretty much anything any average person would use, this laptop is fairly capable of running.
3. Rarely has errors.
4. Windows smart screen is as accurate of a virus protector as you can get for free.
5. Touch screen is decent
6. Beautiful graphics.
7. A very agreeable price.

cons:
1. Though not a serious flaw to my knowledge, it can be overwhelmed and freeze but never for too long.
2. Has a short battery life. You should really just keep it plugged in most of the time.
3. The main virus protector it comes with- Malware bytes- is a bit obnoxious and I recommend getting AVG instead and shutting it off.
4. The keyboard will eventually start to wear down. But this is normal and fairly inevitable with any laptop.

All of these problems are typical for many computer and none were irksome enough to take away from the positives.

mentionable features:
1. Can use DVDS and CDS, but it's best if you install a better video program for your movies than the one it uses by default.
3. Windows 8 will take some getting used to.
4. Touch screen isn't too accurate
5. The camera isn't fantastic quality but still likable.

I own the 16 GB metallic gray version of this tablet. I will keep this brief and split it into pros and cons.

PROS -
Very thin, very light
Android is very responsive and powerful
Customization is very easy, especially compared to iOS
Fantastic screen - bright, vivid colors, and great viewing angles
Outstanding battery life - easily get 1 and a half days of use
Great price

CONS-
No USB, HDMI, or SD Card ports
App selection is lacking, both in quantity and quality
Accessories are very pricey
Some build quality issues*

*On my tablet, and on many others, the screen has had some issues where "Newton's Rings" appear after the tablet gets too warm. They can be described as oily looking marks between the Glass and Actual LCD display. It is similar to pressing down on a calculator display. This is a common issue. What happens is that some internal part warps (not quite sure which part) from the heat, and causes the LCD to touch the glass. It does go away after the tablet cools down and doesn't cause permanent damage, but it is annoying. People who live in very hot areas (Texas, Arizona, etc.) might want to be careful using it outdoors or leaving it in a hot car.

Pros:
Good quality screen
Love the aluminium top. A lot better than previous Asus laptop, which gathered scratches
Comfortable clickpad. It's big, sensitive, and doesn't have those buttons that broke eventually on my previous Asus
Now it's very easy to install M2 hard drive, as you need to unscrew only two screws
Charger is quite small
Performance in 3D Mark Vantage - around 20K points. That's level of 2011 PC

Cons:
Battery is not detachable. As I use mostly as half-stationary computer, and most of the time it's connected to power, that probably will kill it soon
Doesn't come with M2 screw. Luckily, you can unscrew one from it's cooler

The screen is good. It does have the marks in the middle where the 2 ends meet. But not a big deal. It is a great screen.

I refinished the basement recently and as a result I ordered this screen for a bigger and more theater like looking presentation in the home theater. The end result is very pleasing and one of my friends was convinced and ordered one for his home theater.

There are two minor issues, although they don't bother me much, I think it is worth pointing out.
1. The installation instruction has a step to install the silk backing as a protection I guess. I could not find the silk backing material what so ever from the delivery package.
2. The size listed for different screen size is for the white part only.  If you are tight in space, you need to add about 3" to each side for the frame before you make the decision.

The hanging of the screen is by two metal brackets on the top, just like hanging a picture frame.  It is kind of flimsy to leave it like that. I put a piece of dual lock fastener at the center bottom back (where the supporting beam is) so there is something holding at the bottom as well.

Pro:
1. Big, wide, gorgeous and beautiful display (except text).
2. Two HDMI ports for special needs.
3. Many display modes to choose from and it is quite convenient (standard, reading, dark room etc..)
4. Very good quality in photo and video display for a VN panel.
5. Light weight screen panel.
6. Flicker-free display, without PWM.
7. True 8-bit color VN panel, without dithering.

Cons:
1. The screen is not entirely matte. It causes a slight reflection and thus reduces the effectiveness of flicker-free display.
2. Text display is a bit blurry, fuzzy around the character edge (explained below), lack in text clarity.
3. The stand is low and a little bit filmy.

The screen is actually glossy screen surface (with a 3.4% haze anti-glare layer). You can see yourself clearly when the monitor is turned off. But It is not like a full glossy panel which behaves like a mirror.  During the day, the screen will have some reflection if you are sitting closed to the window.  By the way, I also own Benq GW2760HS which screen is truly matte, and Benq also has better display in text clarity.  Between the two, I like the BenQ model better (which is also Flicker-free with true 8-bit color VN panel).

Comparing to BenQ GW2760HS (which I also owned), this Asus screen is about 1 inch wider and  inch higher in height.

I'm a mainly text reading person, In my recent research of monitors, I have evaluated several IPS 27 inch monitors (LG, Acer).  This Asus model is better in term of text reading comparing to those IPS monitors (not in video or photo quality though), but it is nowhere better than BenQ. BenQ does not have the fuzzy text problem.

If you are a person who is mainly focusing on text reading and web surfing, I recommend you look at VN panels instead of IPS panels.  Between the two (this Asus and BenQ),  I would recommend BenQ.

(My experience tells me IPS monitors are fantastic in photo and video display, but only average in text display. The text in IPS monitors are tend to be fuzzy, and could look blur a little bit in some models.  Also, glossy type of IPS monitor tends to cause eye-strain.)

Also, this monitor only has only two HDMI ports and VGA ports. If you want DVI, display port you may want to consider another model Asus VN289Q.

Hope this help !

Overall, this is a great TV with a great picture and offers a lot of features for the price.  I use this TV for every-day TV, sports (football mostly) and movies.  The picture is bright and contrast is very good.  Viewing angle is not bad, but the colors do tend to wash out a bit after maybe 50-60 degrees off center, especially when displaying a brighter picture.  Football looks great on it and one of the first things I watched a baseball game which was absolutely awesome looking.

I did have to spend a little time to adjust some settings for things I found a bit annoying out of the box.  The "Eco Solution" settings would adjust the picture brightness based on room lighting and would dim the picture way too much with the default settings.  The good news is it provides ample adjustment to limit how much it dims as well as the ability to turn it off completely.  I also had to adjust brightness, contrast, etc. to look good in my environment and to suit my tastes, but that is not uncommon.  The other odd behavior I found was when watching shows with the constant (and annoying, IMHO) camera movement like "Law and Order".  The movement of characters in the show looked very unnatural and almost had a weird 3D effect.  I found that adjusting the Auto Motion Plus to the "Clear" setting improved this quite a bit and I don't notice it any more.  Again they provide a few knobs to turn to adjust this to your preference.

While I didn't buy a TV for internet apps, they are rather cool.  I use Pandora quite a bit and it's great.  The Social TV would probably be pretty cool for those into social networking since you can watch TV and mess around on Facebook at the same time.  I'm not much into this stuff and I still found it to be a nice feature.  The Smart Hub user interface is a bit clunky but gets the job done.  The internet browser is useless without a way to point-and-click.  Entering text for web sites or logging into online services is painful without some type of keyboard.  I downloaded the Samsung Smart TV remote app for my iPod Touch and that works pretty well, but still is quirky at times.

The controls on the front of the TV are absolutely useless.  The controls are on the lower-right front of the TV.  These are not buttons, but are touch sensitive areas in the bezel with no defined borders and the silk-screening is virtually impossible to see with the TV on and without bright lighting in the room.  Keep the remote handy.

Overall, I'd give a 4.5+ star rating for picture quality.  I'd give it a 5 if not for the viewing angle.
I'd give a 3.5 star rating for everything else...mostly needing improvement in user interface.

The screen itself meets our business presentation needs although a bit heavy and bulky to transport.  Frustrated with having to return the first two screens which were damaged in shipping.  Hoping the third screen arrives without incident.

The Good: The i5 version is fast enough for casual use even when streaming videos.  The touch screen is very responsive, accuracy and easy to use.  It came with a DVD drive which I was surprised by as most transformer books or 2 in 1's don't seem to have them.  Windows 8.1 automatically turns off the keyboard and mouse when converted to a tablet, but Windows 10 didn't.  (I upgraded as soon as Windows 10 was available, so Microsoft or Asus may fix this at some point)

The Bad: The screen is not very bright even at full intensity and the contrast is poor even when looking straight on.  When viewing at a slight angle (even 15 degrees off axis) the colors do not appear true.  This makes it difficult to enjoy photos with others.  The keyboard is not back lit making working in a dark room a little difficult.  The audio quality is nice when opened as a laptop.  The speakers are on the under side of the computer on the front corner.  When it is folded as a tent this puts the speakers behind the screen and pointing down which muffles the sound considerable.  It has a built in microphone, but doesn't seem to be very sensitive.  When doing a Skype sound test the meter only comes up to about 15%, but regardless, it does seem to work fine.

But at about $500 I am very happy with my purchase.

There's not much to complain about this screen from Dell. Colors and contrast look great, it's an affordable IPS display with a nice size. My only complaint, and it's just a minor issue, is that the buttons are trickier to press compared to the older Ultrasharp models. So occasionally while attempting to turn off the screen, I'll miss the proper button press. Not a big deal, just something to note.
