> 24 hourPurchased to replace a 6 yr old asus 21.5 led monitor (nothing wrong with the old monitor, just wanted a bigger screen). Currently connected via hdmi -> hdmi. Just ordered a DP -> hdmi to test with. Will update if it affects the review. Lets get to the Pros: * Interior packing seem to cushion the screen well (no visible damage to screen) * Assembly was quick (2 screws to the arm to the back of the screen, and rotate to lock base in place) * Screw cover and screw driver included * Power cable nice and long (i only needed 3 ft, plenty to keep coiled up) * No profile frame is very pretty (so thin) * Colors are very vibrant (kids play a lot of roblox, lots of color variants and looks wonderful) Now onto the cons: * A little dim. No where as bright as the old led monitor (especial during the day) * Video inputs are back facing * Control buttons are on the back of the monitor * Stand is flimsy and rocks a little when using the control buttons to turn on/off the monitor All in all, the kids are enjoying the bigger monitor, but i am concerned about the brightness and the wobbly stand. Im about 50/50 on buy another one. We do need another monitor for the 2nd school computer, but Im not certain this is the one. Edit: The sound is terrible. I usually use headphones but had to use the built in speaker on a pinch. Even @ 100% it is bare audible. Dropping my review by 1 star.

> 24 hourGot more then I hoped for with this monitor. Took a chance, being that I never heard of the brand, but I wouldnt think twice about buying a second when and if the its called for. A real happy surprise. And a 5 star buy.

> 24 hourWe bought this monitor so that we can expand the number of work stations at home since everyone is working from home and kids are distancing learning. The first thing I noticed when we turned it on is that the screen is not very clear. It has a glare free covering in it which is fine but when my daughter brings up pictures for her photo editing, it’s clearly not very clear for graphics. Yes, this is listed as a business monitor but I was thinking maybe that meant the refresh rate is not like a gaming monitor. But when my wife used it for work she noticed right away that it isn’t very clear. The glare free screen kind of takes away the brightness too. One thing I was kind of disappointed in is that there are only HDMI ports. I would think at this point in our technology world all monitors would come with HDMI and DisplayPort. But again, maybe because this isn’t supposed to be a graphics intensive monitor. The last negative I would say about this monitor is that it has a pedestal stand so there is only one leg in the middle. This monitor is big so with one leg, the monitor rocks constantly. Every bump of the table, high intensity clicks of the keyboard, a lot of mouse movement, it made the monitor rock and sway a lot. It just seemed cheap and on the verge of falling down. If you will use a mount then that would solve the problem but it’s just not as good of a monitor that I was hoping for.

> 24 hourI have been looking at all sorts of models to replace the three Sceptre 22” monitors on my desk. When I found these 27” ones, I was sold. So glad I did! Great color, great resolution, and for the price, you cannot beat it!

> 24 hourExcellent product for the price. Nice build. My only issues: I have it set up on a standing desk - tends to shake a little bit when I raise the desk up. I think thats more a result of my not-perfectly-level apartment floor. Im not a gamer, but Im using this monitor for heavy photo/graphic/video editing. Very strong display, great for all of my work. ONE LAST THING: Hadnt seen anybody else mention it in a review, so I felt like I should - I was hoping to run audio from computer HDMI to monitor HDMI speakers, but then have my external speakers plugged into the Auxillary port on the monitor. Sadly, the volume levels were very poor when wired this way, so instead Im running my speakers RCA>3.5mm straight into my computer. Not a huge problem, but thought anybody out there should know in case they were hoping for a similar setup.

> 24 hourThis monitor worked just fine out of the box (had previously ordered an Acer which was awful and had to be returned). Easy set up, plug and play and plenty bright. Still figuring out how to make the image sharper (some options were grayed out, so not sure why) but fantastic for work (Im not a gamer). The only thing that is really bad is the stand it comes with. I am not mounting it to a wall and the cheap plastic stand is so flimsy that the monitor wobbles constantly as I type or if I lean on my desk. There is no reason for this - just cheaped out on the stand. The awful Acer had a plastic stand but designed well enough so there was rigidity structurally and even though it was literally twice as heavy, didnt wobble at all. Would give this 5 stars if it didnt wobble.

> 24 hourReplaced a nonworking ASUS with the monitor and couldnt be happier. I dont use it for gaming though. Its my middle mounted one in my office. I have my laptop, a 42 inch TV with an adapter this monitor and the 24 inch sceptre for my vertically mounted right side monitor. Colors are brite, refreshes fast, and turns on and off quickly! Highly recommend!

> 24 hourFirst let me say that this is a computer monitor, not a sound system. Ive never depended on a monitor for good sound since the old days of video monitors. If you want great sound you had to buy a sound card and some speakers. These days all you have to do is buy some speakers and plug them into your computer and get reasonably good sound. So, Im not reviewing the sound. This is a computer monitor I bought this monitor because my ten year old computer died and I thought it would be a good idea to buy a new one instead of a new drive for the old one. Great move, new computer had an SSD drive and boots so much faster. However, it didnt work well with my old thirty-five inch flat screen TV, lots of overscan and no possible way to adjust it, either in the TV or the computer. So it was time for a new monitor. Granted twenty-seven inch is a step down from thirty-five inch, but this monitor worked perfectly right out of the box. Plugged in the power, plugged in the HDMI, turned it on and my Windows desktop was shown in full, no more overscan! I was upset that the angle of the stand had the computer tilted toward me at about a five degree angle. But Im an idiot, its been a tough week. After re-reading the description I grabbed the sides of the monitor and tilted it up to the perfect viewing angle. Id completely forgot that one of the selling points on this monitor was the adjustable stand. SO HAPPY NOW! For less than $150 this is a great monitor. Sharp and clear, easy to read, and nice colors.
