You can do better
So this is your review... All you did was say this monitor is good and the Samsung monitor isn’t... I was looking for some good comparisons between this and the Samsung and all I got was “more lifelike than the pale, anaemic Samsung” What about the response times and ghosting and anything remotely technical...
Your review if you cannot guess is not so high on my score board... If this is all you need to do to become a review journalist then I might actually be in with a shot after all... Oh and you spelt Anemic incorrectly and I’m dyslexic!!!
