Pretty insane for the price, insert "1080p at 27inches is sooo blurry" folks. Plenty of people use 27-32 inch 1080p, for 105 this is an instant buy.

Title says IPS, but as description states, it is IPS type AHVA panel.
No clue what that means, but I assume it's a VA panel that is close to IPS?

Hi SlickDiu Wave
Try again, working okay for me. Try manually entering or if copy/paste the code, make sure no space at the beginning.
I hope that helps.

I really like this monitor at 1440p. Is there a under monitor speaker for this?

"What is AHVA?
Yet another proprietary "IPS-like" panel type that offers similar performance to PLS. Developed by AUO, AHVA is short for Advanced Hyper-Viewing Angle. The acronym can be slightly confusing as AHVA technology will sometimes be mixed up with Vertical Alignment (VA, see below) even though it makes use of In-Plane Switching (IPS)."

So, it uses IPS, it's just its own technology.

Is this better than this one

https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/fp/808222I g
I got dell gift cards expiring next week so I went with dell. Spec wise, this one seems better, 500 vs 400 brightness, it also has HDR and 2 inch larger. However, Dell has built-in USB hub, both HDMI are 2.0 (this only has one), and Dell's stand could turn it into vertical mode. Also, Dell has built-in power supply and this one has a large brick.
But historically, I got burnt a few times with monoprice's deeply discounted items, such as power bank and USB hub with design flaws or quality issues.
I might prefer this one if not for the Dell gift card I had, but again, if not for the gift card, I would not have bought a monitor.

Ditto. Glad I went with Amazon for the longer return policy cuz just got the $125 DarkMatter 165hz monitor.
Does make you wonder why this one is less than the 165hz version?
