Greater than one weekThis is a great budget 1080p monitor. I use this as a secondary monitor to help with multi-tasking and also have my PS4 connected to it. There are obvious pros and cons to this monitor, but keep the price in mind. Pros: Matte finish to help against glare Plenty of options to adjust picture Blue light shift has multiple levels of adjustment to make picture warmer if desired VESA mountable Built in speakers Price Cons: Speaker output quality LED indicator (subjective) For an IPS panel (stated by vendor in questions section) this doesnt have the greatest viewing angles The included stand is a bit wobbly All ports face downward (subjective) The Pros of the monitor are pretty self explanatory so Ill go over the cons. -Although advertised as a 75 Hz monitor, its running at 60Hz in 1080p. But this could possibly be due to the cheaper hdmi cable I got for this monitor. -The speakers dont have the greatest sound quality, but I didnt expect much for the price. The speakers work fine if you just want to hear something from your game, but I dont recommend them as primary audio output. -There is an LED indicator on the bottom right corner (LED projects light downward) that illuminates solid blue when it receives signal, blinks blue when its awake and awaiting signal, and is solid red when the monitor is off/asleep. -Like mentioned above, the vendor answered a question about the panel and stated its an IPS panel. I also have an LG 27GL83A-B IPS monitor and the viewing angles are much better than the spectre. But again, keep the price in mind. -The included stand is a bit wobbly but I ended up mounting this monitor so I stored the stand. This monitor did not include hardware to VESA mount so ensure the monitor mount/stand has hardware or get hardware. -The power, HDMI, and VGA port face downwards so you may need 90 degree adapters for the HDMI ports to prevent the cables from sticking out from the bottom of the monitor. -Something else noting is the buttons on my monitor are in a horizontal orientation, but still in the bottom right corner. OVERALL: I researched a bit before deciding on this monitor and Im very happy with my purchase. Ive already recommended this monitor to other friends looking for a budget friendly 27 monitor and if I had to do it over again Id still stick with this monitor.

Greater than one weekAs the review headline says, excellent deal. A steal at $150 for a 27 monitor with a decent screen suitable for office work and gaming. The extra size allows me more multitasking capability, which I need for work. And its always good to game on a bigger screen. A good buy. Recommended. (Plus, the 2 HDMI ports are a bonus, since many monitors come with only one.)

Greater than one weekLove the monitor size, weight, clarity. Only complaint would be the sound - not great volume if you try to use that instead of headphones for meetings. I dont game. I have 2 of these in different sizes that I use for work. The larger size here has been AMAZING!! Its so lightweight that Ive been able to move it around as needed easily, too, when I choose to work in different spaces. My smaller monitor (same brand/style/model except 2 smaller) is older and has had zero issues. The HDMI connected immediately on both.

> 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.

> 3 dayExcellent screen and presentation for your computer at a reasonable price. Very good picture quality without eye strain. The only drawback I found was they tinny and weak sound of the speakers. I deducted one star for that but you can always add your own speakers.

> 3 dayDecent monitor for the price but had to send back. Had a stuck pixel in the center of the screen that is very noticeable on a white screen. Buttons being on the back of the monitor are an odd placement and have to blindly press around to adjust monitor settings or turn monitor off. Stand is very wobbly left to right . Being a 1080p on a 27 picture quality isnt very crisp. No Display Port connection if you have a newer graphics card that supports it. The on board speakers are very tinny and not even usable.

> 3 dayCan’t speak to gaming; picture quality seems pretty good so may work fine for that. However, i purchased two for work from home setup and letters in Outlook and Word lack clarity and its noticeable and i tried many adjustments, including sharpness (which has only 0, 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% vs 0-100 for all other adjustments.. This is not totally unexpected due to size vs resolution, but what makes it much less tolerable is after one day each monitor has a dead pixel. I guess these arent bad for the price point, but understand these aren’t going to be perfect, especially if used for work. Update: changed rating from 3 stars to 4 because on one monitor the dead pixels were actually stuck and by rubbing the screen I was able to unstick them. On the other monitor, I was within the 30 day window for Amazon and they exchanged it for me. Thank you Amazon! Hopefully no new pixels will get stuck or go dead.....

> 3 dayWhen this monitor goes to sleep with the computer, their is a light that says on all night long. So I always have to shut down the computer at night so the monitor doesnt annoy me. Also, I was disappointed that it doesnt come with any type of connection cable or hardware other than the HDMI cable. So I had to get an adapter to be able to plug it into my USB port. Of course, this was probably specified in the purchase description, so it is not fair for me to call it out. But I would expect it to be able to connect to a normal computer right out of the box. However, the picture is good and the monitor has a good design.

> 3 dayFor the price this large monitor, is good but not great. Speakers sound very tinny. I called technical support for help with the sound and they said this was the normal. If I had known about the sound quality I would have bought a different monitor. Will keep it but will not recommend it to my friends.
