This is the second one of these that I have purchased. Light and easy to mount on my desk monitor holder. Great value for the price.

I am very happy with this monitor so far; I have only used it for about two weeks.  It was easy to set up. The colors are accurate and sharp. I use my computer a lot for photography (PhotoShop) and I am happy with the way my photos look. The only negative is the built-in speaker; not very good.  I am happy with my purchase.

This is a really great monitor. I'm happy that the height can be adjusted and the screen tilted. Resolution is perfect for me and I use it with external speakers. I like that it comes with 4 USB ports on the side. Definitely recommend it. Great value for the price.
I use it for graphics, 3d design programs.

Very nice monitor.  Easy to hook up and functions great.  No dead pixels and I don't notice any motion blur while gaming.  For the price, this monitor is hard to beat!

Really great monitor for the price. Crystal clear, only thing is I wish when you turned off the monitor the blue led on the front would turn off. Kind of annoying since it is in my room but I'm definitely going to order another one.

This monitor is very good for the price, has ghosting that is noticeable but with regards to its gaming performance who cares. I love it. Everything I wanted in a monitor finally

Has a few bad pixels, but in out of the way locations. Overall I would recommend this monitor. A great Bang for the Buck at $167. That's hard to beat in the 22" range.

I picked this up at microcenter for around $200, and boy am I glad I did. I was on the fence about a lot of monitors, as they all had similar specs but I wanted something pleasing to the eye as well. Frankly, this doesn't disappoint.

First off, I primarily use this for gaming on my xbox one and it's great. There's no noticeable input lag which is great for the fps I like to play. And I have a 120hz HDTV from LG and it's nice, it wasn't cheap but this monitor beats it hands down. I know people say 120hz is good for games but for FPS it is not! They almost always have greater input lag as the games aren't native in 120hz. Regardless, this is a great monitor for gaming, although there are no speakers in the monitor. I picked up Logitech 2.1 speakers for $20 at microcenter also and they work wonderfully.

My next use is as a dual monitor with my Macbook pro when I'm home doing work. For the price, it's hard to beat. The image is nice and there isn't a lot of light bleed unless viewed on the all black screen at odd angles, and when the monitor is in use it isn't noticeable.

All in all; this is a great monitor for a multitude of things. Great as a dual monitor setup with my MBP and great as a gaming monitor. I'd highly recommend this.

Great monitor for the price. This monitor is great for gaming or casual use. I wouldn't recommend it much for editing on Photoshop as the colors don't seem as clear as they could be. I already setup the monitor perfectly and the color quality's pretty good. In games such as CSGO I could easily identify a player from the background. The screen size is a bit too big for my liking and you can't adjust the height. Overall I think this monitor would go great in a double or triple monitor setup but it's fine just as is by itself.

Full disclosure:  I will pretty much only buy Acer monitors for my PCs because  I think they are the best quality for the price.  That being said, this is a great monitor.  I got the 27-inch set up was easy; everything about it is easy.  Side note, you will to make sure to switch from 60hz to 120hz or 144hz in the display options either through your video card or on the desktop.

People gripe about the stand; I am using a desk arm mount and it works wonderfully.  The higher refresh is instantly noticeable doing regular tasks, with almost no ghosting with the mouse pointer and gaming its smooth and buttery. I was using a 24-inch 60Hz IPS 1080p Acer monitor previously as my main display and compared to this monitor, the IPS monitor was almost a hindrance to my system and its potential.

I would definitely recommend!

Sturdy built. Beautiful display. Reasonable price. I use it for photo editing and I am very satisfied with the display quality (color, sharpness, contrast). I won't lie, it is not the best monitor out there for photo editing, but unless you want to spend above $500, even thousands for a truly professional monitor, this monitor definitely wins the budget category

I'm not sure why Amazon grouped three different monitor together, but the one I am reviewing is the VN247H-P

In terms of the specs, this monitor is great.  It has two HDMI ports, audio in, and an audio out port for headsets, etc.  The monitor has speakers which is decently loud and of decent quality (It's better than laptop speakers (HP dv7t in my case) by far, but don't expect it to beat dedicated speakers / surround sound systems).  It comes with VGA cable, a DVI to HDMI cable, and an audio cable.  If you want hdmi to hdmi, you will need to buy that yourself (I bought the amazon basics ones)

Now for what I mean by "work required"
First of all, the screen was badly calibrated when shipped.  Everything was washed out, etc because all the settings were near max.  Definitely run windows built in color calibration ("calibrate display color" in Windows 8).  The colors look much better after that.

Second, I may have received a semi defective unit in terms of the stand.  The hinge wouldn't budge when I first tried to tilt the screen.  I knew something was not right because I was close to breaking the housing on the monitor with the amount of force I was applying to tilt the monitor.  I then checked the instruction manual which does show how to remove the hinge mechanism.  Following that, I realized the nuts (hex shaped versions) were on way too tight.  I loosened them and the monitor was able to tilt normally.  Hopefully this is an isolated incident, because requiring extra tools to set up a monitor is not the way to go.

Third, as other reviewers say, the stand is a bit "flimsy".  I do not fear the stand would break even when left alone, but it does flex / wobble more than other monitors when the table shakes.  In other words, there is no need to shake the table, so don't do it and you will be fine.

Fourth, the placement of the ports on the monitor is TERRIBLE.  It's behind a flap in the back and due to the low clearance, it was really difficult to plug in the wires.  In the end, I gave up feeling for the ports and had to lay the monitor flat on the screen (on the protective covering it came in) and plug in the wires by aiming carefully.  If you need to constantly remove the cables out of the monitor, this isn't a really good fit.

(Non monitor related issue) Lastly, remember to switch the audio settings so the sound will actually come out of the monitor if you are using HDMI.  Right click the audio picture in the task bar > click playback devices > select the monitor > click set as default

Now after all the initial set up issues, I must say the monitor itself is pretty good.  The colors look great after calibration, the sound was better than what I expected (I was thinking average laptop speaker quality, but it is much better than that), and the response times are great as well.  The thin bezel also looks aesthetically pleasing.  If you can ignore the setup gripes and don't alter the monitor after the initial setup, this is a very good monitor for the price.

This is a great monitor at a reasonable price. I use it for work and gaming. It is clear and easy on the eyes, I believe the colors are better than any of the Samsung monitors I have had in the past. Set up was easy and it fit the articulating mount that I have on my desk easily. I would definitely purchase again.

Excellent monitor for the price. I see some people had resolution issues, and had to go into their settings to resolve them. I didn't have any problems at all. I just plugged it in to my wife's computer and it popped up with a beautiful picture. I'll be purchasing one for myself in the near future.

This is a great monitor for everyday use including web browsing, word processing, spreadsheet work, and watching videos. Watching a DVD on the computer produces video quality similar to watching on a conventional TV.

Set-up and installation were easy with Samsung's instructions clearly written and well-illustrated.

My only complaint with the monitor is a hum from the power adapter built in the monitor. When there is little surrounding noise I can hear it.

All in all a great monitor at a great price.

I bought this monitor on Cyber Monday for really cheap, and for that price I am very satisfied. I can get 1080p on it and the image is very clear. Of course you have to adjust the image to your own liking, which I did and it works perfect. It's huge, so if your looking for a big monitor this is it. The only downside is that it did not come with a DVI cable, just with VGA. Kinda disappointed about that.

One major problem that I had with it was that right out of the box, i noticed it had a tilt to the right. I checked on a straight surface with a leveler and I was right. But a little work on the screws helped the problem.

This is a pretty good monitor in my opinion. If you can get it under 150$ you should get it.

An excellent monitor for the price. I purchased this with the intention of 1440p gaming on my PC. Honestly I didn't expect the difference in resolution to be so incredible. The screen is only 3" larger than my other monitors, but it feels MASSIVE because its 2560x1440. Windows look tiny on the thing (though they are still easily legible). I don't play twitch shooters, so the input lag is fine for my purposes, and the colors are good looking, if not necessarily accurate out of the box. The only complaint I could level is that there is minor backlight bleed around the bottom two corners, but it's within what I would consider acceptable for this product given the price. $50 more than a Qnix or similar Korean panel and I get a USA warranty and a more polished product. I'd consider it money well spent.
