Fantastic monitor for the price - will update if anything happens
1 of 1 found this helpful Note: I've only had the product for a couple of days now, and will update this review if any quality control issues arise. Also, this is my first monitor.
Personally, I was looking for a big screen to work and occasionally entertain myself with, and I wanted minimal glaring issues alongside it. A 24" screen would be fine, but I would prefer 27" for a monitor I plan to keep long-term. On a 27" screen I figure I would significantly prefer 2k to 1080p resolution, especially since I will be hooking up my macbook pro to the screen. A really low refresh rate could be bad, since I'd like to view videos and movies smoothly, so I figure 60 hz or greater is fine. If possible, I'd like the colors to be vibrant and the blacks to be black, but they don't have to match macbook pro levels. I looked up a video of this model and saw that there was not much IPS glow and that the colors looked pretty good. This model satisfies all my criteria without any more perks that would jack up the price (4k, larger, higher refresh rate, advertised as with 'amazing colors').
The monitor's huge and nice to look at. The colors are great - they largely match that of my 2015 macbook pro (though maybe I just don't notice the difference). The blacks are black, and I don't notice much IPS glow at all (perhaps a bit at the bottom left, but I have to look for it to notice it). I hook it up to my macbook pro via HDMI. The stand height is not adjustable, but the height it's set at is where I'd want it anyway. There are also lots of settings you can adjust to get the monitor looking just how you want it. I run it at QHD and 70 hz refresh rate for smooth youtube videos and casual games. The monitor also arrived much sooner than I had initially expected (10 days earlier).
I think it's definitely the best monitor I could find for the price.
