Good, not great

This review is from: LG 27EA83R-D Ocean Black 27" 5ms WQHD HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor IPS pivot&height adjustable 350 cd/m2 5,000,000:1
Pros:
Overall its a pretty nice monitor. Color is very good and comes pretty well calibrated out of the box, with little need for adjustment. The OSD menu is fully-featured and easy to use. The stand is very well made and functional. I really like the aesthetics of the bezel and base with the nice brushed aluminum looking finish. Comes with a cable for each input type. No dead or stuck pixels.
Cons:
Image quality is good, but not great. There are 2 issues that made me dock an egg. 1) Being an IPS panel, it is prone to IPS glow (aka PLS glow) which can look similar to backlight bleeding. This can vary monitor to monitor. The one I received has a bit of glow from the bottom-right corner, but it is only noticeable on dark screens and not that bothersome to me. 2) Crosshatching. It is not too bad, as I only really notice it on a white screen if I lean in such that my face is a little too close anyway. At my normal viewing distance of about 2.5 feet, I don't notice it.
Overall Review:
There is a price point at which I would have found the cons I listed, however minor, to be unacceptable. I picked this when it was at a very good sale price though, so I find myself content with it.
If you're picky, you probably won't be satisfied this. If you can live with some minor imperfections, this is not a bad way to go, especially when its on sale.
