Grice, I've never really seen too much negative posted about their build quality, but as the old saying goes, sometimes you get what you pay for. Most of the KDS monitors I've seen are quite low in the specs, but if they meet your purchasing criteria, give it a shot. Just make sure you purchase from a place w/ a good return policy an no restocking fee, that way if you don't like it, you're only out some time and not cash. Hope this helps.
