Text is blurry at 1080? I wonder how we read the internet back in the ol vga days
blurrier* relative to 1440p or 1080p @ 22". sure, you can read text on it, but if your main use is excel, emails, etc, why use a 27" unless you just prefer a larger screen and are going to blow up the scale anyway.

and you mean back in the day when monitors were also smaller? and back when that was the mainstream technology? not sure you understood my point. why intentionally choose a worse DPI monitor when higher DPI is available mainstream (a dime a dozen at this point), especially when it may suit better for office work? i'd rather squeeze two 22" at 1080p for office work rather than a single 27" at 1080p and not have space for another.
27" 1080p PC is good for older eyes.

According to a lot of people that value other people's opinions on the internet, seeing edges of pixels = blurry, apparently.

I games on a 1080P144hz 27" for a few years with no issues, $80 for this is a steal.

Exactly. 27" 1080P 165Hz for gaming is great...for productivity, meh, but still doable. I use the low dpi 45" 1440P LG OLED, sure I can see the pixels...when I look at the pixels.

$80 for this is definitely worth the risk of the brand.

They were also 15 inches max vs 27. They are also much more blurrier and you wouldn't use one today. Therefore, his comment has a valid point. I do agree that 1080p at 27 inches is not an ideal monitor for office use.

$38 for shipping and not available for store pickup. I can find something better in the $120ish price range. Ah well.

Ya'll wanting to argue about an $80 monitor just cracks me up. I don't work in an office environment either. Oh, and some of us had the bohemoth crt bigger than 15"

I guess I can't speak for the monitors, but every Westinghouse TV I've ever seen in my entire life had the worst picture next to anything else in the store and I mean anything! That being said, if I lived anywhere near Micro Center, I would go pick one up and put an old Apple TV that's just collecting dust on it just to have the weather on a monitor all the time because I don't have a PC. EDIT…. I think I'm going to go with the same monitor in a 24 inch with IPS display for $99. Is that a good alternative? https://www.amazon.com/Westinghou...r=8-3&th=1

Quote from muchwow :
for office use, 1080p on a 27" only takes up a lot of desk space without providing screen real estate (pixels), not to mention text looking blurrier as a result.
i'd say it's a killer price for gaming on a tight budget, where you get the immersion of 27" without needing a beefier gpu to push 1440p pixels. text clarity isn't as important in gaming.

I am a home office user that uses (dual) 27" 1080p and work with tons of tiny little excel cells and reading image-scanned PDF contracts with 10,000 words in 3 pages and nothing has ever been "blurry" to me whatsoever. source: my eyes YMMV

Ya'll are on crack.

Exactly. Older eyes and 27 / 1440 don't mix well.
Most PCs scale the text to the equivalent of whatever is good for the eyes anyway, I don't understand how 1080p is necessarily better for older eyes.

Depending on your source material many people find 1080p superior to 1440p. Sure it is a lot better these days but originally it was a fairly awkward resolution.

I went to the Madison heights location to take a look at this while snagging some other things.

They don't have it on display, and they don't even have them in the monitor department.

Specs show it should work as 165 hz with HDMI, but the reviews indicate it might only work with display port. Is anyone who has this able to confirm if you get 165 hz with HDMI?
