AOPEN 27E1 bi 27 Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS Monitor | for Work or Home | 75Hz Refresh Rate | 5ms Response Time | 1 x HDMI & 1 x VGA Port

Most gaming monitors usually have a refresh of 120 - 144hz. While this does have a 100hz refresh, I wouldnt exactly call it a gaming monitor. Instead, Id call it a very nice 24 (technically 23 and change) desktop monitor with better than average abilities. During my use, the things that jumped out at me the most were the color and the brightness of the screen. The blues were deep and reds vibrant. The screen doesnt seem washed out and the contrast is good. When I first ran a monitor motion test on it, I was seeing a small amount of ghosting. At this point I realized that Windows had its refresh set to 59Hz. Once I reset it to 100Hz, the majority of the ghosting went away and things looked much better. Im not sure what panel is in this monitor but the display is not bad. In terms of build, I liked the fact the monitor has screw slots in the back for a small (75mm I think) VESA mount to attach. I also appreciated the thin screen and how easy it was to attach the stand. This monitor is very light. In terms of cons, there arent many. I wish it offered both HDMI and Display Port connections. However, HDMI and VGA do cover a large portion of computers out there so I understand. I also wish they used a universal power plug on this monitor rather than an external power adapter to reduce the footprint on a power strip. Again, not the end of the world. Overall, Ive been impressed with this monitor. Once I remembered to set the refresh correctly in Windows, it certainly woke up and out-performed other 1080P monitors I have in the house. Again, while I wouldnt necessarily call this a gaming monitor, it certainly wouldnt be a bad choice for the gamer on a budget.

Though the monitor provides a good picture, the stand is shaky. The stand does not allow to put the monitor upright and change the height of the monitor.

overall, the monitor was good— but the backlight bleed was really intense; in gaming it wasn’t that intrusive but on everything else, like browsing or graphics work, it was difficult to ignore. honestly, i think i just had bad luck with my purchase and otherwise it was a perfectly fine monitor.

Very clear and bright, best 27 for the money!!

I had a hard time getting my Windows 7 systems to accept the monitor and allow me to set proper resolution. Search for driver met with limited success, but finally got it set up correctly.

The base is faulty, wont set solid, shakes a lot, as far as the screen it is perfect. would probably by another if the stand/base was better

The monitor is actually 60hz, not 75. But other than that its a nice monitor. 3 stars because its advertised as something its not.

The color is really great right out of the box. No downloads or driver cds, just plug and play. Works great with my laptop. The games I play are mostly low end 1080p res and this monitor does the job nicely.

Overall very satisfied with this monitor. Colors and brightness are excellent.

Running into a problem getting dual monitors setup on a NUC. Using a thunderbolt cable can be interensting. Apparently the native resolution does not like to work. And when you plug in the cable the HDMI monitor becomes the secondary and as such you lose access to the display options. Other than that, the monitors work great and have a good picture.
