> 3 dayI wasnt looking for anything fancy---just a larger monitor so I can work from home 1 day a week. This came with its own HDMI cable, it was very easy to hook up. The display is excellent the size was perfect! The picture transfers very well from my laptop to the monitor w/o any special sizing needing to be done.

Greater than one weekPretty standard budget gaming monitor. I originally purchased this to replace a failed Acer monitor, and it performed well. The only complaints that I have is that the backlight is noticeably dim, even after making the necessary adjustments through the easy to modify settings. This dimness is readily apparent when used in a multi-monitor setup. Ive since replaced this unit on my main rig, but continue to use it in my hardware lab, where it performs adequately, and the dimness is not a factor.

Greater than one weekIve only had the monitor for a day but Im happy with the purchase. I initially tried to cancel the order but the seller had already shipped. I figured I would give it a try and send it back if it wasnt up to spec. Im coming from a 12 year old Samsung T260HD monitor that is 25.5 inches, 1920x1200 @60hz. This was top of the line at the time and paid $329 while this was one was only $109. The old monitor had screen tearing in games (no g-sync or freesync) and FPS play wasnt ideal, especially in COD Warzone. If youve never played on a higher refresh rate monitor before, it makes a difference. I tried overclocking the monitor to 85hz and then 80hz but neither took so I tried out the rated spec of 75hz with freesync and let me say.. I could notice the difference right away and even picked up my first Warzone Solo victory. Aiming was much more smooth and I could keep my reticle glued on other players. If youre using this for light gaming and youre coming from a 60hz panel, youll be pleasantly surprised. This appears to be a TN panel because the viewing angles are poor. Theyre completely fine when viewed straight ahead - since this is being used as a computer monitor, its not a problem for me but buyer beware. No dead pixels or edge bleeding to speak of. Blacks arent super dark but decent and the factory setting was ok as far as brightness and contrast was concerned. I configured to my liking and Im satisfied. The stand is wobbly as others have stated and I didnt even bother with speakers, nor should you. Im not expecting this thing to last but Im hoping to get 2-3 years out of it. I was looking to get a higher refresh rate monitor (144-165hz) but after doing research, you cant take advantage of the higher refresh rate unless your frames per second average is just as high (144+fps). With a Ryzen 5 2600 and an aging Rx 570, Im getting an average of 75fps in COD Warzone with the settings at high. In this case, the monitor is a perfect pairing for the 75hz refresh rate. In order to take advantage of the higher refresh rate you will need to open up your AMD or Nvidia software and create a profile that is set @75hz. Once this is created, go into display settings on your computer -> advanced settings -> monitor and then select the new 75hz profile from the drop down. Last, you will need to enable freesync from the monitor control panel (its in the menu options) and then enable it in the AMD software (not sure about Nvidia). If youre lucky, you may be able to overclock the monitor to a higher refresh rate. Just create a profile for 80 or 85hz, select it in display settings and see if it takes. If it doesnt, the monitor will revert back to the previous refresh rate in 10 seconds. From what Ive read, this doesnt harm your monitor and it depends on the manufacturer as to how far you can overclock it. Dont expect much from this panel, however. All-in-all, its an upgrade for me in just about every way. Some people say a 27 screen at 1080p for gaming isnt ideal. I beg to differ. The pixel density isnt superb by any means but I didnt notice any difference from a slightly smaller screen (25.5 vs 27) and less pixels (old monitor was 1920x1200). If I had to choose, Id take the extra real-estate over pixel density which I think only amounts to 6ppi. Theres pixel density calculators out there if youre curious. If you can afford it and your GPU/CPU can achieve 100+fps, I would go with a higher refresh rate monitor. For lower end specs, general use or a second monitor and for the low price, I dont see why not.

> 3 dayIf you arent worried about the built-in then its a pretty good screen.

Greater than one weekI just hooked this up after a black friday sale. Things Ive noticed. (no dead pixels for me). Pros - its definitely a large improvement vs the 24 monitor I was using before. - I verified on blankwebsite.com - the yellowish light to get rid of blue light is nice. Its a lot easier on the eyes. Cons - The stand is extremely cheap. It feels like if my cats bump it it will tip over and brake. Also you cant adjust the angle of the monitor on the stand (it is a really cheap flimsy stand). This is probably a deal breaker for me. - It has a wallwart rather than a regular plug which could make it difficult for fitting into a powersupply or outlet. - theres a really annoying flashing blue light whenever your computer isnt sending signal to it. In the dark its really annoying.

> 3 dayI was in a bit of a rush Black Friday shopping and judged a book by its cover: I did not check to see if these monitors were IPS rated, and they are not. The cover image showed color-grading software being used, so I added these to the cart and moved on. The color depth / representation isnt BAD at all -- but I did buy these to edit videos on, so Im going to give one to our church secretary and buy an IPS monitor for my actual color grading.
