I recently bought a 27" AIO computer. I use a dual monitor setup, but all my extra monitors were 24". I know you can do it, but it just didn't look right to me to have a 27" monitor paired with a 24" monitor, so I was on the lookout for a relatively inexpensive 27" monitor.
Started out with an LG monitor at about the same price point. The problem was that the screen didn't line up with my AIO monitor. About 2 inches difference in the height from the bottom of the screen to the desk. Not a huge deal, but again, it just didn't look right to me, so then I was on the lookout for a 27" monitor with an adjustable height stand.
This worked out perfect. I can adjust the height so the monitor lines up perfectly with my AIO monitor. Looks great. Screen quality is very good. Bright (adjustable) and crisp. Perfect for what I do (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, e-mail, videos and web surfing).
Moving up from 24" to 27" screens doesn't seem like a big deal, but it really is. Makes a huge difference.
100mhz refresh rate is a nice little bonus, since most of the monitors at this price point have 60 or 75. Not a huge difference, but higher is better.
There are several reviews about receiving units that wouldn't power up (DOA). I thought I had one too, but I didn't. The problem is that turning the monitor on is very unintuitive. There is a rocker switch that says power, so you would think that is how you turn on the monitor. It isn't. You have to turn the power on with the rocker switch, then you have to press another small, nearly hidden button to turn the monitor on. I was literally about to pack up the monitor and return it until I figured this out. I suspect that many of those who thought their monitor was DOA didn't realize it was a 2-step process to turn it on. Very confusing.
Overall, this is a good monitor at a budget price point. I recommend.
