Pretty Good
on August 7, 2020
Posted by: mike
Verified Purchase:Yes
I think 27" monitor is to big for 1920 X 1080. As far as performance goes this motor is very good performer. very smooth at 144mhz. my games are much smoother.
Problem is at 27" the picture is a little grainy. If this were 25" it probably would have been a much sharper picture. I have a 25" monitor and the picture is great, but it is slow and I get motion blur from it. Things are not nearly as smooth as with this monitor.
If you are just looking for a 27" monitor that is fast for gaming this monitor will work great. If you want speed and a great picture you need a 2K monitor 2560 X 1440 or 4K.

I use these in a hobby room just for some background music while;e I am working on something. They sound pretty good for what I use them for. I would not use them on my TV or someplace that I need quality sound. for the money they do exactly what I want. give me some music to listen to in the background.

Nothing but problems
on March 14, 2020
Posted by: mike
Verified Purchase:Yes
We have had nothing but problems with this fridge. it makes loud noises from time to time and leaks water from the ice maker. it all started after the 15 return policy from best buy was up. then we called LG and they won't fix it unless they see it leak which is intermittent or they hear the noise. we took pictures of the leak and they will not except that. So we are stuck with a fridge that makes noise and leaks because nobody will even look at it.

Not super fast
on December 29, 2019
Posted by: mike
Verified Purchase:Yes
I did not get this to be a super fast gaming computer. I bought this for my wife to replace her old slow computer. It is much faster then her old computer. we got this because it is very easy to upgrade in the future. you can upgrade one component at a time instead of having to buy a whole new system and that's why we got this one. It would probably play most games pretty good and for what my wife does on the computer and games she plays t works great.

Great Space Saver

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this for my wife for Christmas and she loves it. We need to free up some counter space because having a Keurig and a coffee pot took up a lot of space. This Keurig is about the same size and her old one and it has a coffee pot with it. It took a little time to figure out how to program it to make coffee in the morning but we figured it just fine.
