Solid Purchase
Pros: 1: Overall Build Quality 2: Display Quality 3: Increased Viewing Distance
Cons: Glossy Bezel&Base (Really not a deal breaker) Built in speakers sort of a waste IMO. You wont buy this for its sound output. No one spends that much money for a monitor with speakers. They will usually have a sweet headset or speaker setup already.
Overall Review: For the quick answer on the product scroll down to the end of review!!!! This monitor is an upgrade from my 2011HPx, don't judge me, I know I was behind the ball here. And please don't say, "He cant give an accurate review on such a serious leap of quality." I have seen and experienced many monitors whilst gaming. Please understand I am just a common gamer, nothing special - I'm out to help the average joe like myself. The size of the monitor made it very easy to lounge a little more while I game. An extreme forward posture of focus and gaze can really mess with your comfort while gaming and likely cause a marginal->major impact on your gameplay - as it did mine. The Build Quality of the monitor I would say is of a very sturdy solid construction; and there's no need to worry about the "top-heaviness" of those 27in coming down at all. It's big, but nothing the base couldn't handle (is that what she said?). The monitor itself is easily worth the money. I'm a practical shopper when it comes to spending money. "Does this item really improve my experience for the amount of money it would cost?" I got this item while it was still on sale, and I have to say - I feel as if I stole it from Newegg. I believe the original price was 360, and I came by it from N.E. for 217$ after shipping. To me, it was hard to pass up. And I latched on to the old adage, "Sometimes forgiveness is better than permission." Not that I advice it to others haha. The Viewing Quality: If you want a fancy description from me, skip this. Im talking to the average joe: all I need to do is reiterate what you're buying here, 27", 4ms, HDMI, LED B.L., LCD, 20m:1. You need to learn what all those little things mean, it's easy to lookup. Seriously, stop now and look it up. Every buyer is different so I'm not going to get into "what it looks like", because what you are looking for and how you view your screen are both entirely different perspectives from my own. All you need to know, is that I rate this a 9/10 viewing pleasure. It has a very refreshing crisp appeal to my eyes, fruit for the retinas, if you will. In the end people ultimately look at a review and hope that it helps make up their mind on some aspect of the product or if the product is worth the money. My final answer: BUY THIS PRODUCT!

Overall Review: No time for pros and cons. This thing is worth the money. That's what you need to know. Look for in depth reviews on the product if you want. When you come to the customer review what you're really looking for deep down is to see if the other buyers recommend the product. I do. BUY IT!
