Yes, the monitor looks fine. It is connected to an old Dell Optiplex 390 with an i3-2100 and 8 GB of memory. I don't watch movies or play video games on it or anything. It is basically a glorified terminal for me to citrix/remote desktop to work.
I've found my off-brand (Aukey) "blue" mechanical keyboard has been a greate improvement in my quality of life though (even though it is not very ergonomic).
It is funny how when I started using Visual Studio around 2008 I didn't have a 1920x1080 monitor and I wanted to see all the panels and it was so painful.
Right now, my biggest pain point is my horrible Internet (Wi-Fi) connection. It is especially painful because I move my mouse or type something and nothing appears on the display and I don't know whether the remote computer is slow or my network connection is crapping out again.
Almost feels like I am whining about a non-issue because even fifteen years ago, I was on a dial-up "soft" modem and it would have been unthinkable to get pretty much live full 1080p remote desktop.
