This monitor has many bad reviews of people complaining it doesn't wake up properly when connected using DisplayPort. I'd stay away from it. While a minor issue, it sounds pretty aggravating if you ever use DisplayPort with this monitor.

If you don't mind ebay refurbished, you can get the 144hz model for $30 more.

I've had monitors with speakers and it sounds tinny at best. You are better off buying a cheap usb speakers.

The KW272 models have speakers, bought two for work. Speakers are convenient for meetings where I don't have to participate and just be a fly on the wall

Agreed. I need 350nits for the office and I'm about to pay $350 per 27" with the same resolution.

I have this monitor right next to me as a 2nd monitor. It's bright with good colors by my standards. 75hz is a very noticeable and appreciable bump over 60hz. It has way better colors and whites than the monoprice 2k 27" igzo 165hz I bought and returned that was $220.

I paid iirc $120 for this monitor before taxes and fees like 6 months ago? Found on SD.

I have one dead pixel........ I just ignore it and forget it. I only noticed it upon very close scrutiny. I should have returned it while I was within the window, but such is life.

It's a very solid monitor at a reasonable price. Good/great colors. There is some IPS glow so this is not the choice for very dark media, like say a dark horror movie.
