Walmart is selling this monitor for $220. Does anyone have any opinions about the monitor. I would be using it only for photo editing. Thanks.

Better deal than at B&H.

It’s a TN screen not an IPS screen so your viewing angle changes your perception of the image on screen. Covers 100% sRGB display, so that’s good, but less of the aRGB space. Important factors a lot here seem to overlook. You should also look into a color calibration https://photographylife.com/how-to-calibrate-your-monitor

I’m trying to figure out how to determine the monitors color space. If 72% NTSC is 100% sRGB, how do I determine 100% aRGB. Should the specs say something like 92% NTSB? How big a difference will that make for standard photo editing for someone who will be printing high quality prints? $240 seems like a pretty good deal, all else being equal.

IMHO, this would not be a good monitor for PP work. One way to easily tell is that it is just too inexpensive. A GOOD monitor in that size would be a bit over $ 1,000.00 . Many specs are important and I'd suggest you look at the Adobe RGB spec as more important. Best of luck.
