Purchased this monitor about a week or two ago and I'm loving it so far. Only reason I even gave it a chance is because I own a 23" as well, and it has always been an excellent monitor. The 27" so far, is no exception. I just discovered I am a bigger fan of IPS monitors- although they do appear very glossy and the screen itself is mirror-like, even when on, I still prefer it. The colors are just more vibrant and clean to me.
