I bought three of these a few months ago, same price. They are all working great in my triple monitor setup. Great color right out of the box for me. Runs 144hz no problem. Almost no bezel on top and sides. However there is a small bezel on the bottom which can slightly interfere with butting them together. Otherwise extremely happy with these for the money.

Had this a couple months now. From a lag point of view, it is very responsive. I have the old "EVO" monitor that was used at the evolution fighting game championships 2010-2014 or so. Its an ASUS VH238 i believe. It was used due to having low input lag. After running a lag test this has less lag than that monitor. Very pleased with it in that regard. I was hoping to use it to get 120hz on PS5, but it only has display port for 120hz. Ps5 uses hdmi for 120hz. But overall it's a keeper.

costco doesnt allow purchase unless you're a member in store. the exception is buying a costco gift card and then buying the item.

another way is shopping online and the 5% charge is added

Ours does you just have to pay cash instead

Got this and returned a month ago. FHD at 27" did not cut it as a computer monitor. Pixels were clearly visible. Went with a 24" ASUS VG249Q instead. If you want to go larger than 24" for a PC monitor, I recommend 1440P.

I bought this @ Costco on 11/26/20 Black Friday for $170 same price I am using this for my Xbox Series X and it does the 120FPS well.

I've noticed this issue and it's happened 3 different times now, I can't narrow if it is the console, monitor, hdmi or the game itself

But I've noticed that on fortnite in the lobby only the screen flickers it's happened twice so far.

Just today on GTA V Online again I dont know what it is that's causing it but for about 3-5mins while I was playing I noticed it flicker again but differently then fortnite.

Either way I really like this monitor but am really in the market for a monitor with these
I don't have the money for a 4K 120 2.1 monitor as they are so new and expensive and not many monitors exist yet.

specs
1440p
144hz
1ms
ips panel
Free sync
HDR
hdmi 2.0 support
I've had this same exact issue and I can't put my finger on what it is either. It will happen randomly 2-3 times then won't happen again for a week. Otherwise, I've had no issues with this monitor for my Series S and also as a second monitor for work.

Just got my monitor today! No dead pixels, thankfully! There's a small amount of light bleed on the left and right side of the monitor but not enough of an issue to really notice it during use. It's surprisingly very, very light and easy to mount onto a third party arm. The power block is external, which is why the monitor itself is so light, but not a big deal as I can easily tuck it away. Love how thin the bezel is. Overall, great price and quality for an entry level IPS gaming monitor. I kept reading about how Costco stock has a high degree of dead pixels, but maybe I just lucked out.

Don't know about the recommendation but this monitor is probably not good for your Mac since it's 1080p at 27inch you will see pixels. Try to aim for a 1440p but dang at this price just buy and try it, if you don't like it just return it inside warehouse no questions asked really.

Saw this at the local costco.

It looks very budget.

No height adjustment on that stand.
