Perfect Size and Color
I use this for editing my photography. It is clear and crisp. It was easy to calibrate. The size enables the photo that I am editing to be large enough that I do not have to constantly zoom in and out.

Cool monitor, nice display with tilt adjustment
I use it in my office with my macbook pro and I am very happy with the monitor. Setting up the monitor was easy and it has tilt adjustment. The WQHD resolution is fantastic. I had a few issues with the adapter for my macbook. A regular DVI to mini displayport does NOT provide the expected resolution because it is limited to 1080p (HD) by design. A dual dvi to miniport does provide WQHD but is ridiculously expensive. So I looked around and finally... Show More

Exactly what it says
This monitor was purchased for gaming, browsing & videos, and software development (fitting more code on the screen is essential). For these purposes this monitor is excellent, especially at the price. One important note: while the monitor has been completely solid using the HDMI connection, the DisplayPort connection has been unreliable even with two different cables. (Connected to Nvidia GTX 970.) It's not clear if this is problem with the moni... Show More

Great
I love this monitor, great visuals and great size. My only complaint is the stand, as its a little flimsy, but not worth a star off

great monitor -
a great smaller monitor which gets you a lot of information in front of you. Be aware because of the 2560 x 1440 you are getting small images - so you can't place it too far away from you. I love being able to see two of three seperate documents at once. Great for organizing files. Plug and play on a macbook pro - early 2011

Great monitor
I am very pleased with the quality of this monitor. Crisp image, vibrant colors, and a snappy reponse time. The only downside is the speaker, it's very quiet. But don't let the that stop you from purchasing this screen. I'm very happy!

Pleasantly Surprised by the Quality of this Monitor
I purchased this monitor to use as an extended screen for a late 2015 Mac Book Pro 13 inch Retina laptop. I have used extended desktops monitors for pc laptops and surface for years. I have generally found the pc's difficult to setup and unreliable when anything changed. Out of the box, this monitor was easy to setup and connecting to the mac was amazingly easy. Apple has a far superior interface for external monitor setup and viewing features. F... Show More

almost perfect
Was purchased for gaming, FPS, use. However a cluster of dead pixels(3,NBD) in the center made it a gift for my wife instead. Turns out it's also excellent for social media, cat pics and emails. Nice Colors. I like this monitor, recommended!

Perfect
For few price of this monitor I was sceptical. But it turned out to be very very good. I've had it for a few weeks and it shipped with no dead pixels no backlight bleed or anything. It can be overclocked to about 85hz . the stand is a bit wobbly and I don't think it supports a monitor stand. It's not adjustable either. But if you're looking for a cheap very good quality 2k monitor look no further.

Excellent value
Given the price point, this is an excellent monitor. The primary con is stand with minimal adjustments. For my needs. this was an excellent purchase.

Awesome Monitor for the Price
Ordered this based on the other glowing reviews here and on other sites and was not disappointed. Using with a 2014 15 Macbook Pro and works great. Bought a thunderbolt to full size display port cable plugged it in and the full resolution was recognized without any issues. Was first interested in some of the 27 monitors at the same 2550 x 1440 resolution, but I needed something that was a little more budget friendly and this fit the bill perfectly. The 25 size fits my desk well and the extra resolution provides plenty of screen real estate for all my apps.

Great 1440 For the Price
When you buy a $or so dollar 1440 you kind of expect to have some issues. That was not the case, this is a beautiful display with a decent stand. If there is a decent amount of seismic activity in the area in which you're using this monitor it may wobble a bit. But seriously the stand is good enough, it is definitely why the price point is so reasonable. But all in all it exceeds my expectations.

Nice and reasonably priced
Good picture quality. Comes with 3 different inputs and 3 cables to match. Only complaints are that the stand is not adjustable and the controls are hard to use.

How is this only $$?
This is such a fantastic monitor! I'm a gamer/PC nerd and I decided it was time to move up from 1080p. I was using a Samsung 21.5 1080p LED display that had a TN panel, and I thought it was pretty nice. This thing is worlds better when it comes to color reproduction and brightness (it is IPS after all). This monitor is crazy sharp, very bright, and the colors are just fantastic. It's definitely a steal at this price.

Great Monitor
College student here. I love this monitor because it is very affordable and allows me to be more productive by extending my laptop display. It is great for video editing and works very well for gaming. I use the Accell Mini-Displayport to Displayport cable because it is the only cable of its kind to be approved by VESA. I use this monitor with a MacBook Pro.

LED is beautiful!
I use this montior specifically for the new computer that I made. It's very bright and visually appealing. I could stare at backgrounds and pictures on it for hours and still not get enough. Plus 25 is plenty of space to fit windows, documents, and videos onto the same screen (my resolution is 2560 x 1440). The only reason I gave this product four stars is the monitor's power button. It's located underneath the monitor, which I find to be a bit akward to turn on and off with one hand.

Looks great but....
Looks really great, but I had to download every driver I could find for my motherboard and video card before it would work. Also the menu is awkward to navigate.

Great 25 vibrant experience
Using it with a 2014 15 Macbook Pro, no glare or reflections. Excellent. Max on DVI port is 1920x1080 (you need a Thunderbolt to DVI adapter) Options on the HDMI port is 2560 x 1440 2048 x 1152 1600 x 900 It does not do HDMI audio out to the jack in the back (i.e. the audio comes from the screen, clear enough. Other than the Thunderbolt adapter, all the cables you need. Great buy, best price anywhere.

Awesome Monitor for affordable Peice
I was wanting to move up to 1440p but didn't want to spend over $. This monitor besides meeting those requirments also has a gorgeous IPS Display and Higher DPI then 27 monitors. Everything about this monitor besides the lack of mounting is a win!!

Wider than I expected, this monitor really is beautiful and performs well so far. I use it for video editing and I haven't had any problems so far. If I had the money, I'd buy a second one.

Great Entry-Level 1440p Display
I decided to pick up this monitor after months of online shopping for a decent, value-oriented 1440p monitor from a reputable brand. I had read a lot of reviews about the Korean 1440p monitors, and it seemed like too much of a risk as to whether or not you'd get a decent model (not to mention I read that the return process could be a nightmare). This monitor stood out to me because it was 25 (27 would be too large for my desk, which has another m... Show More

Beautiful monitor, great price
Zero dead pixels. Small bezel. Screen is very bright, so bright I had to turn the brightness down a bit from the default. You really can't beat this monitor for the price.

Bought this one and am using it for 3 days now. The good:No dead pixels, screen is absolutely gorgeous, colors are great and PPI density of 25 incher with 1440p resolution makes games look stunning and sharp. 4ms G2G is very good for IPS, I don't think there is any faster IPS screen actually.Design is sleek, bezels are thin and it looks very nice on the desk.

Impressive Display
This is my first external screen to a laptop, and I went big right away. The 2560 pixel view was exactly what I expected, and the screen is very impressive with the bright, sharp picture. I use it partly for office work (Excel and such), and partly for semi-professional photo editing, and it has clearly added to my results. I haven't used any other screen in that resolution, so I cannot really compare, but it is great for sure, I would buy it aga... Show More
