It took me awhile to investigate monitors before deciding on this one. Of course a 1440 for a 27" would be a better decision if you can afford it( over double the price), but for $200 this is a fantastic monitor.After returning a less expensive ACER ( due to contrast limitations) and AOC ( no VESA mount but a nice monitor) I was happy I decided to spend a little more on this Dell. This is my first monitor with a "glossy" screen and the picture is beautiful and crisp. If you are using this is a bright room or have lights that may glare off of it you would be better off with a different monitor. If you can control or have limited glare possibilities, go buy this one. I don't use the USB slots in back, to difficult to reach when VESA mounted. Of course I wish it had more inputs than just 1 VGA and HDMI, but at this point the setup works for me. I have it in a dual monitor ( with a 24") set up using both for my work and personal computer. No complaints, but buy it when it's on sale. Dell Monitor software makes color adjustments easy and updated for Windows 10 if you need. Seems like BB has a pattern and will run a sale on this every few weeks.
