Last fall, I had to expectantly replace my computer, an older Dell SFF Optiplex with a newer, but used/refurbished SFF Optiplex, and ended up having to replace the graphics card as the old one, an Invidia GT 610 would not play nice with Windows 11, only to find out why, Ferni, and by extension, Keplar had been depricated, so anything Pascal or later were fine and had the updates for WDDM/DX 12. So had to replace that with the GT 1030.
That begat a monitor replacement. My main monitor is a 1080P Dell workstation monitor I had picked up last spring/summer when the older Dell monitor of similar specs died after being used for over a decade. So then tried to utilize the still working 20" Dell 720P monitor, but the new graphics card had no VGA port, only DVI-D and HDMI. So I replaced that monitor with an Onn brand 22", 60Hz monitor for $80 and could get it locally.
For a 1080P monitor, it's been quite good. the background photos from MS are really good, clean and full of detail.
Yes, the controls are on the bottom edge, but in the middle, and are highlighted by a blue LED when off as the power button is there also.
