I picked this 27" monitor up on a doorbuster sale for 119.00, and for the price, it is a good deal. It is easy to set up,the stand is fairly sturdy, and the display is clear w/no dead pixels. That said, be warned of a couple things. The overview states that it is 75 Hz refresh rate, but in the production specifications it says it is 60 Hz. Even after checking HP's website, I still am not sure which it is. After spending several hours on the phone with HP, I found out that this is also a budget monitor, built for the discount stores. So I made sure to register it for the warranty since I have no idea how long it will actually hold up. There are no speakers either, which is a bummer, but for the discount price, it's ok. Also no HDMI cord, have to get your own. The model number is actually just 27W, and can be found on HP's website. I use this for work, and light gaming, so it is adequate, and the larger size makes it so much easier to see. So if you are not too picky, and can get this on sale, go for it. The full price though is not worth it though. For 249.99 you can buy a better 27" monitor. So watch for the sale.
