Excellent buy! and and EXCELLENT screen with a lot of WoW factor!!! I am impressed by this 27.5 viewable, beautiful display. Very easy to use and very bright (I had to turn down the brightness, it was so intense--> read it will perform well in a bright, sunny room. No problem with reflections, etc. The bezel is black and small making it versatile to put just about any where. I am very happy with it and feel I have gotten absolutely the best monitor out there at this time for screaming fast game play, wonderful graphics/movies and for just $499 plus shipping from Costco.com. Since I just spent $3500 on a new Apple Mac Pro 8-Core graphics workstation, I really appreciated not exceeding the $1,000 cost level for a near-30" monitor with a very fast (3ms) response time and true 1080p beauty. In many ways, this monitor surpasses Apple's cinema displays that still have a very slow latency and cost a lot more for comparable screen real estate. If you get this monitor, you won't be sorry!
