Perfect for grandma, who keeps telling you that text looks too small.
And I say this every time people post comments about 1080p large monitors. It's a matter of how close you sit to it. Any resolution becomes 'retina' at the right distance. People have 1080p 50" HD televisions these monitors look fine once you are sat back from them. Not everyone needs super sharp high resolution displays on their desk. Take it from an actual 1080p 27" owner, these are just fine to game, watch media and use for desktop purposes.

With it's input lag and response time you aren't going to be wanting to do much gaming on it but with actual 8-bit colours rather than the usual 6bit +FRC that most budget monitors offer colour reproduction should be decent.

Have been using this monitor for the past twelve months. General purpose, internet browsing, office work etc. Have had no problems at all. Colours are clear and bright. Large screen size excellent for watching video. Good price too. Try and find a monitor of similar spec cheaper.

Does this have a matt or gloss type screen?
I do have a preference for a gloss shiny type glass display, I find the anti reflective coatings dull the picture too much.
