My monitor has some weird lining across half of it, bu it's not super annoying and it doesn't prevent me from doing anything. It's typically only visible on darker screens. Aside from that, I'd say this was well worth the money. Definitely keep is close to your wifi router though, otherwise it might struggle a bit. I have mine in my bedroom right beside it so it's running pretty well, but it struggled when I set it up in the living room originally. I didn't realize how much I've actually missed having a desktop computer, I like them much better than most laptops. I'd definitely buy again.
