I purchased this as an open box item but it unfortunately arrived with a broken screen. I went to my local Best Buy store and they graciously exchanged it for a new one. I am very satisfied with this monitor. I am a student and spend many hours per day staring at a screen and working on a computer. This screen puts less strain on my eyes and has excellent quality. I was debating purchasing a 4K monitor instead of this but they are still slightly too expensive for the size I wanted and I was able to get this one not only at an open box price but also on sale and with a rewards discount. If you're looking for a monitor and are looking for 2560 x 1440p, this is one of the best options for the price point. The non-glare screen is great, the stand is versatile, the bezels are really thin, great brightness, accurate color, and overall a very sleek looking monitor. Some people seem to have complained about the power button but I haven't really had a problem with it. If you're intentional about how you place your finger on it, it works every time. Cable management is relatively easy with this monitor. My only real complaint is in regards to the orientation of the plugins on the back of the monitor. The inputs face straight down towards the desk so it can be cumbersome to plug something into it but overall a very minor complaint. The monitor also comes with a mini display port cable (works with mac FYI) which was a nice surprise. If you have a bunch of money to throw around and want 4K for the stunning picture quality, I would say go for it. However, beware that there is not much content yet available in 4K and you'll have to upscale the display (i.e. zoom in so you can read the text otherwise it will be too small). 4K monitors will also probably get a lot cheaper over the next year so it may be worth waiting for prices to drop. Also, be sure your graphics card in your computer/laptop is capable of running a 4K monitor. This may not be true of laptops/computers older than a couple years. I was reluctant to purchase a 2.5K monitor but for the price (and the fact that I needed one now) it was definitely worth it. Big improvement from 1080p, especially in workspace. I have more room to work with on this 25" monitor than I did on a 28" 1080p by quite a bit.
