Here's the spec page for the cl25ff: https://www.asrock.com/Monitors/C...cification
And for the cl27ff: https://www.asrock.com/Monitors/C...cification
1080p 23" - 27" 60hz ips displays have been the budget tier standard for years, and tend to go on sale for around $60. In this past year, various companies have started releasing 100hz displays targeting this same market.
A refresh rate of 100hz is decent for office productivity, content consumption, and slow paced singleplayer games. The response time is rather poor, with an advertised gtg (grey to grey) response time of 4ms. Advertising around gtg response times tend to be quite misleading, with even low tier va gaming monitors being (verging on fraudulently) advertised as having a "1ms" response times, so expect real world response times to be far worse than the advertised 4ms. That being said, these are not gaming displays, and if your primary use cases involve gaming I would recommend you avoid them unless your budget is extremely small. It is very important to note that these displays only have a vga port and a hdmi 1.4 port, they completely lack displayport. Amd gpus support freesync over hdmi, so if you have an amd gpu you should be able to use freesync over hdmi without any issues. Nvidia gpus do not support vrr (variable refresh rate) on any hdmi version earlier than 2.1, meaning that if you have an nvidia gpu you will not be able to use freesync or any form of vrr with this monitor. Therefore, if you have an nvidia gpu, I will once again even more firmly recommend against using these monitors for gaming, as a 100hz fixed refresh-rate display is poor even for low tier gaming. It should also be noted that these monitors are the lowest tier of freesync, meaning even on amd gpus they lack LFC (low framerate compensation).
The 24.5" monitor should have a good ppi (pixels per inch) for most common viewing distances. The 27" monitor is at the very upper end of what's generally considered an acceptable size for a 1080p display, and will likely appear somewhat blurry unless you tend to sit further back from your monitor. I will chime in and say from personal experience as someone who has used a 27" 1080p monitor, I personally found the ppi to be too low and it made everything appear somewhat blurry at my standard viewing distance. This is obviously somewhat subjective, and depends on your viewing distance, but the most common recommended size for a 1080p display is 24".
A brightness of 300 cd/m2 is decent, and perfectly acceptable at this price tier. Unless you're using this monitor in a bright room right next to a window with the sun streaming in, you're unlikely to have issues with the brightness. The advertised contrast ratio of 1300:1 (Typ.) is exceptional for an ips panel if true, though I'm rather skeptical. I would not at all be surprised if there's "technically true under very specific circumstances" style marketing going on here. Based on the 16.7m "display colors" the bit depth of these monitors should be 6bit + frc, so functionally 8bit. Having 99% srgb coverage is good at this price tier, unfortunately the specs don't mention coverage in any other gamuts, and without professional reviews I have no way of knowing how well they'll display colors outside of the most basic srgb gamut. There's likewise no way of knowing at this point how accurate colors are out of the box. As an ips monitor viewing angles should be rather good. On the other hand, as an ips panel there will certainly be ips glow present.
The included stand is fairly poor, with the only adjustment options being to tilt 5° forward or 20° back. It cannot height adjust, pivot, or swivel. Fortunately, being 100mm x 100mm vesa compatible means it should be easy to attach these monitors to a different stand or mount.
Overall, if you're willing to deal with a mail in rebate, this is a good deal.

A monitor deal + Newegg + Mail in rebate = utter disappointment

Regardless, a budget monitor like this is almost certainly a poor option for any sort of color sensitive work such as photo editing.

1080 is still good enough for gaming and light on a GPU, yet the refresh rate keeps things smooth.
"If it had _____ I'd jump."
It's $71. :-)
At this price it works in any slot though.
with good reason. yuck.
99% of ppl will probably intend to use it then not bother. would seem like the heydey of these was about 2010? pre amazon. i remember their being very specific instructions to follow for fear of getting rejected...
