The ASD has good image quality with amazing resolution, but with the awful (and in my case, unusable) camera, light bleed in the corners (even if slight), the upsell for a height adjustable stand and so-so speakers for its size, it just remains one of Apple's underwhelming (and arguably over-priced) products.
