Ahhh, finally getting back down to reasonable price for an LED monitor!
No HDMI input, but okay for my purpose. lists the power consumption as "On: 26W, Standby Off = 0.5W" for this monitor.
That's a hair more than my existing Dell E2318HR (25W max, 20W typical, 0.3W off). Getting this to replace my aging Soyo Topaz S, which has superior color rendering due to it's M-PVA display, but consumes 100W+ due to it's old CFL backlight. Pretty neat that two new monitors can consume less than half the power of one old monitor.
Yeah, last year I got my Dell E2318HR with HDMI for $61 and thought that was a deal -- you certainly did very well at $45!
Last year was definitely THE year to be buying monitors and other stuff. This year, everybody's stuck at home from the coronavirus lockdowns. Everybody needs stuff to use at home, but nobody is working to produce much stuff. Decreased supply and increased demand, prices going up to balance the two. :( Not to mention the Fed is printing money up the wazoo and congress is sending out $1200 checks to everybody...
Got mine plugged in now. Initial impression is that this monitor is not great. Despite being a VA panel and listing a 5ms response time, which should be the same or faster than my Dell E2318HR, this monitor has noticable ghosting as I drag windows around. Even worse, it has a color shift as whites fade to black. The whites fade through red instead of fading through greys. My mouse cursor is thus blurry and oddly red looking when moving it around. Motion video will likely suffer too as a result. My Dell has no such color shift problem, and whatever ghosting it has, it is much less than this V7 L236E-3N.
Still images look more or less about the same quality as my Dell IPS panel. So at least it is okay for that purpose.
All in, I would not recommend this monitor unless you're desperate for a second monitor and you can pick this up at a low price.

In for one, hope it's good! :-)
