Anyone have any comments about this?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-27-Class-Full-HD-IPS-LED-Monitor-16-9-Aspect-Ratio-1920-x-1080-Resolution-/321749884452?customid=5e14c4391dae44aba05615e5a16cf6aa&pub=5574652453&afepn=5337259887&campid=5337259887&afepn=5337259887&rmvSB=true

I know it was on sale a month ago for $10 less.... just hesitating to bite the bullet or go for the acer....

Amazon has great deal on Acer G276HL Gbmid 27-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) Widescreen Display only $189.99 It was over $230 2 days ago. Check out the price history here.
or you can get Acer G276HL Gbd 27-Inch (1920 x 1080) Widescreen Monitor for $179

Anyone know the difference between the two models (GBMID and GBD)?
Amazon has the LG through circuit city for $193.99 which is $18 more. Some prefer to deal with Amazon then an eBay sale if the price difference in minimal. At any rate while it has a 4.4 review on Amazon, it has only been reviewed by 14 customers. The Acer G276HL Gbd has a 4.3 rating from 1259 reviewers & the Acer G276HL Gbmid has a 4.8 from 38 reviewers. Why do you think the LG is better?
I don't if any of them are height adjustable.
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

I bought this monitor on Sunday after you posted the deal here. I received it yesterday.
Didn't use it too much yet, but one thing I did notice - It only has one small speaker, and its located in back of the monitor.

I've been keeping my eye out for a (relatively) cheap 27" monitor. Came across this today:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=9801307&CatId=2318

It's not IPS and reviews are mixed, but hard to pass up that price. Thoughts?

AOC is pretty low-end stuff... Take a look at some of these:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-VN279Q-27-Inch-Screen-LCD-Monitor-/301704818996?hash=item463f023134
http://www.ebay.com/itm/EXCELLENT-Acer-G276HL-Gbd-27-LED-LCD-Monitor-16-9-6-ms-SYNX3918172-SN100302-/331526416790?hash=item4d3083a996
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Pavilion-27xi-27-inch-Diagonal-IPS-LED-Backlit-Monitor-1920x1080p-27-xi-/171884426152?hash=item28051c33a8
Yes, I'm aware. And it's not even upper end within AOC. But those links are to items that are way more expensive, and the first 2 are used (don't have much experience, but I've been told to stay away). The 3rd, which is new, is way more than double the price of the AOC. I've been keeping an eye on prices, and if I was willing to go up to $200, it wouldn't be hard to find a decent model on sale within a week or two. But I'm not, so those are not really options.

I recently replaced a stationary laptop (no charge, had to be plugged in to be used) with a desktop that I built, and I'd been looking into the best monitor setup for it. Part of the point of this was to make it easier to work from my company laptop on days that I was working from home. I use two 19" 4:3 monitors at work and wanted similar screen real estate at home. But if I bought two monitors, it would kill it for movies and media. I was toying with the idea of an ultrawide (21:9), but they're generally expensive, so I was mostly focused on something more like a 27" 16:9 monitor.

Then last week I see that Bestbuy had the LG 29UM57 for $199 ($100 off the normal price of $299). What's more, they had open box for even less. I took the plunge and it came out to $178.54.

Got the monitor yesterday after an initial shipping snafu, and all I can say is - wow! This thing is nuts. They also give you some useful software: on program for screen splitting (emulating multiple monitors) - though Windows 10 does a really good job with window snapping anyway - and another as sort of a KVM emulator (use one keyboard/monitor/mouse to switch between 2 computers).

Still have to mount it, but I'm pretty excited about it.

Does the software do a good job emulating two screens? That's a must for me.
