" ... This monitor seems just about perfect in every way. ... "
" ... This thing isn't anywhere near as nice as my 2017 mbp retina, but it's pretty close. ... If you need a second monitor for work, development, typing, editing, I'd say this is one of my go to top monitors. ... "
" ... Monitor resolution and clarity is awesome. ... "
" ... The matte finish and thin, black bezels make it easy to view in a variety of lighting conditions and from almost any angle. ... The resolution, although only 2K, is more than enough for almost any application. ... "
" ... The non-glare screen is amazing for those rare times when overhead lights are on in the studio. ... "

" ... Great monitors, I have two and both have been working flawlessly for nearly a year. ... "
" ... This monitor is absolutely beautiful but is NOT compatible with my brand new Macbook 2017 that I bought 2 months after this. ... "
" ... It also stays in calibration for over a month with no problem. ... "
" ... Have had it for a month now, and so far everything is working really well. ... "
" ... I bought another one from Amazon a few weeks ago, and I have no clue what happened, but it looks like quality control has gone down the drain. ... "

" ... I use this with direct displayport connectivity and decent quality cables. ... "
" ... Successfully connected a Macbook Pro 15 mid-2017 with this cable: CHOETECH USB-C to DisplayPort Adapter Cable ... "
" ... If you hook up a USB cord attached to your PC, you then have a number of USB outlets that are very helpful if you have a remote mouse and keyboard. ... "
" ... The ports on the back and plug ins are also awesome, it's like its on mini dock station, all my work stuff for development plugs into this monitor and I have one cable that plugs into my laptop for USB and one for HDMI and that's it, pretty nice. ... "
" ... Lots of options for ports on the back behind a well designed cover to protect the connections. ... "
" ... It's a beautiful screen with thin bezels, and it arrived with a mini Display Port to Display Port cable. ... Maybe this is a single DisplayPort input sort of thing for those with multiple video cards? ... "
" ... I've seen people complain about it not reading the small display port, I used both the small and large and had no problem with either. ... "

" ... Picture is sharp and colors vivid. ... "
" ... I sort of prefer the glossy finish, but it's really hard to find those anymore (glossy makes photos really pop!) ... Lots of menus (see my pictures) for you to choose setup options. ... 5 stars for picture quality & ease of setup ... "
" ... I use it for everything from web development, photoshop, gaming, to watching videos and love the picture. ... The clarity, crispness, and color is top quality. ... "
" ... The image and color reproduction are very pleasing and the native resolution is perfect for this size, I really enjoy the functional stand. ... "

" ... The bezel is thin and not too 'heavy'. ... "
" ... I'm sure it does it's job well, but it just looks cheap--especially when you're spending this kind of money on a monitor. ... Of course, I'm coming away from an Apple iMac that had a premium look & feel to it. ... The stand itself looks really robust though. ... To my eye they put a really nice monitor in a cheap housing and gave it a fairly good looking stand. ... 4 stars for cheap looking bezel ... "
" ... Its high quality construction and wonderful display makes his monitor a pleasantry to look at. ... "
" ... The base of the unit is similar to Apple's Space Gray, and it has an Apple-like design, which is welcome. ... "
" ... The whites are brilliant white. ... "
" ... may bump up to a 27" even tho for my work 25" is better :/ it really is a shame bc the monitor is badass, sleek, stand is perfect and rotates and all that . ... "
" ... Bought used but looks brand new inside. ... "
" ... * Kinda boring look - attractive, but not sexy like the Apple displays ... The Apple was a bit more stylish and had built-in speakers and webcam, but had an obnoxiously large bezel. ... "

" ... It has capacitive touch buttons. ... Meaning that they activate when you touch them but you're not actually pressing a real live button. ... "
" ... OSD was hard to use, provided no tactile feedback. ... "
" ... What I really dislike is the on/off button, it has no feedback and is hard to find the sweet spot (I read about this in reviews and didn't think it would be a big deal, but it turns out to be pretty annoying). ... I really wish the on/off button would control the screen and NOT the usb hub also. ... "
" ... A fantastic monitor, but the power button is inconsistently responsive. ... Whaddya know - if monitor is left on for over 30 minutes, power button doesn't function. ... This one's power button was even worse than the original - glad I waited to test the new one before I sent in the old. ... "
" ... Where it loses me is the lack of buttons and controls. ... This monitor does not have buttons for power etc. ... "

" ... No miniDP to DP cable to be found. ... Had I known this, I would have ordered a cable with the monitor, but in the questions about the monitor it says there is one in the box. ... So, not to belabor the point - no DisplayPort cable. ... "
" ... -The power cord is a bit hard to push into the back . ... thought my monitor was DOA, but nope, just didn't push the cord in far enough. ... "
" ... I would have given it a five if it had come with an HDMI cable. ... They include the other cables but no HDMI and that is the only source on the monitor. ... "

It handles most games at ultra settings 1440p, and doesn't need as much antialiasing. ... You can expect your 1070 to handle games at 60fps on this monitor, which is good, because it's 60hz. ... "
