By profession, I'm a writer and project manager. I don't need to battle enemies where milliseconds count. I was still skeptical of this monitor due to the fact that it's 27" at only 1080p, and only 60Hz refresh rate. At this size, 4k would be better, especially if you've got great vision. I don't, but I'm sensitve to flicker. I've spent a lot of time with the huge and expensive curved monitors, and I can see the difference in resolution if I focus on it, but I don't notice it at all while I'm working. I also don't sense any flicker. The colors are vibrant and seem accurate. Some reviews stated that the display is glossy, but as someone who has been staring at monitors for 40 years, I can assure you it's much closer to matte.
Regardless of how mechanically and/or technically inept you think you are, this thing is incredibly quick and easy to set up. After everything was unpacked and unwrapped, it took less than 30 seconds (and no tools) to attach the stand. I didn't even pay attention to whether or not it came with instructions - if it did, they weren't needed.
Unless you're a hardcore gamer or developer, this is an excellent way to give yourself more screen real estate and is a fantastic bargain.
