Enjoy crystal-clear visuals with this Asus 27" LED HD monitor that features AH-IPS technology for vibrant color reproduction and Tracer Free technology to ensure fluid video playback. Built-in speakers with SonicMaster technology deliver crisp audio.
It's a nice display, but as soon as I set it next to my 27" iMac (2013, not retina) it didn't even come close to the sharpness, detail and brightness. That's ok for me, I really just needed the extra real estate for video editing. This is a great second monitor, but I would not use it as a primary editing monitor for photos/video color grading. Also, I don't see the quick refresh rate difference either. In summation, it would be a great monitor for $200 or less.
