HP Pavilion 27-inch FHD IPS Monitor with LED Backlight (27xw, Snow White and Natural Silver)

Functions well, but no written directions in my container in English. Had a devil of a time getting it to turn on. Their picture instructions are ambiguous and lacking in clarity. The buttom to turn on is on the underside of the monitor, in the right front corner and can not be seen unless you place your face well below the bottom of the monitor and look back up, because the underside button is thin and not deep enough to be seen when looking at the front of the monitor from your desk height. The picture instructions reference no underside buttom but merely a symbol on the bottom right front corner of the monitor and suggest you merely turn on the monitor (after connecting it properly, of course) but pressing in on the symbol. Well, the symbol is not a button and does not push it. Clearly a gross ambiguity that could have EASILY been avoided by a picture showing an hidden button on the underside of the monitor and by showing an error pointing up rather than an arrow pointing directly to the symbol at the front right bottom corner. I assume their absence of written English instructions, but providing me written instructions in Spanish and some other language was a packing error. If not, again shame on the manufacturer.

I bought this monitor on a budget of cause. but the colors are really nice on this monitor. I was told this wasnt for gaming. I am not a hard core gamer. and the response time 8ms, I could not even tell any motion blur. AT ALL lol. I have an Asus monitor with 5ms right next to and was trying to tell if i could see any difference. none at all. and the contrast is not that bad ether. I got this monitor for 180. I think its a pretty good deal. It is pretty good for gaming. I played battlefield, BO3, mass effect 3. But there was a catch.. the first one a got has been use/opened. but they sent me other one for free.

Im using this monitor for about one month with a Macbook Pro. The image quality is very good, accurate colors without any adjustments, 27" is huge, very bright (I use it on 50% and I think is too bright, I eyes hurt at night). The build quality is also very good. It matches with the Macbook design no apparent buttons and the power led can be turned off. To use in the desk the height is about right I felt no need to put it higher, it tilts vertically, the screen is almost borderless which gives a modernity impression. Although Amazon claims that it comes with a VGA cable, I received mine with an HDMI cable, which was a very good thing ($ 10 economy in a new cable). No backlight bleedings. The cons: there is no support for VESA mount, there is no built-in audio or audio output port, there is no way to up or down the screen vertically, its pretty bright so at night I need to change the brightness I need to go through a long path in order to get this done, its very hard to hide the cables (and cables really bother me), for a 27" display I think a resolution above 1080p would be something desirable. Although the cons I think the pros and price (below $ 200.00) makes this monitor a really good deal.
