is this a good monitor for the price?

I'm looking to buy a monitor to hook up to my laptop to use at home. My laptop only has a vga and hdmi port. This monitor also only has those two ports.

27 inch monitor at 1920x1080....isn't that impressive IMO. You would be better off with a 21.5-22 inch monitor at 1920x1080...a finer picture at less than half the price. 1920x1200 typically start at 24 inches.

^ There's nothing wrong with 27" @ 1080 for the average user. I find the larger picture to be a lot easier on the eyes.

I wouldn't consider that price 'good' as $300 for is around standard price for monitor like that.

not everyone is after high PPI (my parents..)

OP, that price isn't anything special...

I'm not so sure about the price because I got mine for free, but I'm using that exact monitor right now and it is pretty damn nice. I'm using 3 monitors, this samsung and 2 24" ASUS monitors and this one definitely has the nicest colours.

Price isn't that awwwing...
Samsung has good reputation though, so you can't go wrong
