Pros: This monitor is overall very nice. After adjusting the settings on the monitor and computer, the picture is bright and crisp. Colors show well and construction is solid. It comes with HDMI and VGA cables, which might save you a few bucks.
Cons: Speakers are terrible (but that's expected). If you're really looking for it you might notice the backlight seems a bit brighter toward the bottom of the screen. It doesn't bother me and I don't really notice it during normal use.
Other Thoughts: There are better monitors out there, but for the price it meets my needs perfectly.
Pros: Very nice looking monitor, the picture was perfect out of the box, my computer immediately recognized it and changed aspect ratio automatically. Stand is very stable for such a big screen.
Cons: Nothing really, much bigger then i thought it was going to be, but that's just my lack of knowledge on screen sizes.
Other Thoughts: i don't use the on-board speakers because this isn't 2001 and i have much better speakers already. They do suck but what are you expecting?
Pros: Great picture for the price, loving the big 27" screen! (had a 21" Dell monitor beforehand) Easy installation - less than 1/2 hr (being cautious and including removing old monitor). Bought it on the Premier price so I'm still definitely happy with the purchase!
Cons: The builtin 2 watt speakers had a definite tinny metalic sound. I had read the previous reviews and thought I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to sound quality, but I just couldn't deal with the sound quality and reconnected a pair of desktop speakers I had on hand.
Other Thoughts: Came with VGA & HDMI cable (which I'm using), but the length on this is about 6' so keep in mind if you're needing to put tower under desk on the floor. Plastic construction around monitor and base, but felt solid.
Pros: Brilliant colour depth, and wonderfully sharp edges. So far this monitor looks wonderful. Ordered two and I am currently dual-screening them on a GTX 760 super overclock with dual link DVI.
Cons: None yet
Other Thoughts: Not terribly fond of the annoying red blinking light when its off, but I'll live. Can't really classify it as a "complaint".
Pros: Good price
Good picture
Cons: Base mount not removable. Comes with short cables.
Other Thoughts: Bought this for using with vesa mount. With the base arm attached looks weird. Not going to break out the hacksaw as will probably void warranty.
Pros: Bright and clear to all edges. No dead pixels. Seems to tilt forward a little more than most monitors which was exactly what i needed. Base is solid with very little screen shake.
Cons: The only con i have is when the computer is off the power light on the front blinks on and off. No big deal.
Other Thoughts: Very good monitor at the on sale price.
Pros: Beautiful image, great color saturation. I plugged it into the HDMI port of my high-end nVidia video card, and everything worked perfectly out-of-the-box. Very good value for the price.
Cons: The built-in speakers aren't the best sounding. But, I never expect built-in speakers to sound all that great, so I'm not taking any eggs off because of it.
Other Thoughts: I know that it's customary to write something about the controls, but I'm afraid that I can't. The only control that I've even touched is the on-off switch. Everything was perfect when I connected it to the machine, so there was no need at all for me to even try out the other controls.
Pros: Nice overall monitor.
built-in speaker
nice display and picture
Cons: Speaker sounds cheap (similar to an average cell phone speaker
Pros: Great monitor. well packaged, included HDMI and D-sub cables. Great price at $169.99 with free shipping.
Cons: Required a workstation cleanup, i.e. dust bunny herding and cable roundup. This situation added more work for me.
The speakers sound real tinnie (sp?) but what do you expect from full range 2" spekers.
Other Thoughts: I bought this monitor for my my mother (80yo) to upgrade her old 20" standard format monitor. I had to clean up her desk and surrounding area. 10 min. install and 1 hour cleanup, looks great (the station), but am pleased with everything now.
Pros: Excellent price on sale, $169.99. After reading online about the monitor, I found out that it rates as no.3 in model quality behind Samsung, that's a big plus. Has built in speakers that automatically play when using HDMI, a plus. Has HDMI Dual Link DIV-D, and VGA inputs, Another big plus. I like the black color, another plus. And that's all the eggs...4.
Newegg .com delivered on time as usual. NJ to VA in 2 days for free, can't complain about them, they are always fast and on time, at least for me, every time.
Cons: The only problem I have with the monitor is when connected to HDMI is black border of 1 inch on the sides and 3/4 inch at the top and bottom, hey I bought a 27 inch monitor not a 25 inch one. I had to connect it using the analog vga connector to get full screen real estate, in doing so I lost the audio on the built in speakers. Now I have to purchase a speaker cable to use the speakers, oh well I guess I will use them for center channel speakers and keep the 2.1 computer speaker for R & L sub to create an odd 4.1 speaker system that will require some fine tuning for proper balance between them. D@#n, more work and money to achieve perfection, but that's how I am.
Other Thoughts: I am an EET (Electrical Engineer Tech) you know a hardware engineer. I purchased this monitor for my 80 year old mother as an upgrade for her 17 inch (square, well almost square) monitor. I asked her for her opinion about it after I set it up, her response was "I have to get used to that big of a monitor first". So I'll have to wait to give a more in depth review of it in the future, so please stand by...
Pros: No stuck pixels, easy to use menus, stand is strong, nice color, good view angle. Comes with HDMI and VGA cables but not DVI cable.
Cons: Screen is a bit brighter on the bottom then fades darker towards the top, this is most noticeable with a white background like a spreadsheet, not a big deal to me but some may be bothered by it.
The unit arrived on time in perfect condition. Only draw back are the cords a little too short on one end! Power, HDMI, and VGA cords should be about 3 feet longer in order to be useful. Had to use my previous cordage.
