27" monitor review - OK monitor for the price - Terrible for reading but probably fine for gaming and even photo editing. I am impressed by the design and overall it is visually appealing. Also has 2nd HDMI input which I appreciate for adding Roku, etc. Text has a slight grainy appearance that is driving me nuts reading word documents and PDFs so I am returning this. If I sit back 4-5 feet from the monitor it is much better but I bought this for my desk and I just simply cant stand it. Pros: happy with the overall color reproduction, good variety and number of inputs, and the plastic bezel is not as thick as I thought from the stock photo and the monitor actually looks better than the stock photo in my opinion. (the photo does represent the actual viewable area well - most of the black border is actually under the glass and blends into the screen well with a dark desktop background) Cons: Text is painful to read as a desktop monitor in the 27". I cant speak for the 23" but would imagine that would be much better.
