Pros: Initially good color and display.
Cons: Became fuzzy and unadjustable just after one-year warranty expiration.

Pros: Works great. Never had a problem!
Cons: None, none, none

I have had this computer screen for 3 years now, and haven't had a single problem with it. This is highly recommended!!
