I purchased a ViewSonic 27" IPS widescreen monitor (VX2770SMH-LED) from Amazon for $264.68. I have had it for a week and LOVE this monitor. I should have gotten this thing years ago.
The monitor provides HDMI, DVI, and VGA inputs. It has speakers and headphone outputs but I don't use them. It has a 3yr warranty whereas other vendors typically offer 1yr. The stand doesn't allow up/down adjustment, nor does it allow portrait/landscape rotation adjustments, but I didn't want those anyway. Super thin, looks great on my desk, and the display performance is fantastic. The only thing about this monitor that is close to a "negative" is that the controls (power, various adjustments) are touch controls mounted on the monitor stand.
Again, I've only had it for a week but I have no regrets and would order it again. Great value for the money IMO.
