> 3 dayThat frickin blinking blue light. I made the mistake of getting this for my office, which also happens to be in my bedroom. When the computer its connected to has been idle for some period of time, the monitor starts blinking this unbelievably bright blue light that can only be disabled by unplugging the monitor from the wall. Maddening! I did find a partial fix - in the settings, you can make it so the blue light stops blinking after 30 minutes - but no less. So if you use it before bed, you need to unplug it from the wall, or wait the 30 minutes. All this to say, dont get this monitor if youre going to be sleeping in the same room (unless you love blinking blue lights ya frickin weirdo)

> 3 dayViewing angles are fine and the screen looks great, but if I breath to hard it will wobble left to right. I think the monitor stand is made out of match sticks.

> 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.

> 3 dayThe power supply for this is small and has a wall wart. this does not work well if you are mounting this as the cable is short and you is is very particular to this monitor so it will be hard to replace.

> 3 dayLiterally. You get what you pay for. This is a 27 screen with relatively thin bezels, good screen quality, and absolutely easy to set up. Its a hundred dollars people, dont go ordering and expect to receive some top of the line LG/Samsung smart monitor quality type of build. Know what youre buying. Its a hundred dollar monitor. Sure, the stand/base is made of very thin plastic and does not seem uber durable, but if youre a normal person who keeps it on a stable desk (even better, wall-mount it) and doesnt have much trouble toppling the whole desk over, not much of a problem. Audio is definitely low tier for sure, but I use headphones/soundbar so it doesnt bother me. Buttons on the back are not so easy to navigate but give it a week, you wont even notice it. Right most for power, second right most of source change, and left most for settings. Figured it out in 30 mins and have had no issues with it since. Easy quick plug in and play. Comes with an HDMI cable and product manual. No dead pixels, no scratches, no issues. Again, for a ONE HUNDRED dollar monitor, not much to complain about. Cheers to Spectre. Great deal right here.

> 3 dayThis 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.
