do most laptops have a full hd 1920x1080 resolution? are you sure?
Very few do. Even on "Gaming laptops" such as Alienware 1080p is optional.
Macbook Pros, commonly considered the pinnacle of laptops don't offer it on their models either…
Edit: Macbook pros 17'' do offer 1080p. Nice.
What a stupid response…
1080 on 27" is a joke because panels that size are generally available with 2560x1400 resolution.
If you just want a bigger monitor but not better resolution you might as well just go buy one of the 32" 1080p LCD TVs which are going for less than the price of this 27" monitor.
Well my 32" Sony 1080p LCD TV cost a bit more than $386.10. In fact it was $800 with the PS3.
@atlas
Not so much more considering the PS3 is worth $300-350 in the split. Oh and the blu-rays another, err.. $10.
LOL woah I got a fair few neg's for that but anyone with a basic clue will know what im talking about either way buy a cheap 22" screen that's 1080p and you'll be better off if you buy this your just buying a stretched out screen it'll look rubbish regardless of the price this isn't good value
1080 is mostly optional on laptops lol no idea what your talking about
Review copypasta from techradar
Let's get the bad news out of the way first. This is a TN panel to which Viewsonic has applied the usual technological kludges in order to achieve quick response times.
We speak here of overdrive, a technique that pumps pixels full of excess voltage in order to make them change colour more rapidly. To a point it works. But it can also cause some nasty image artefacts. Often referred to as inverse ghosting, the problem involves a trail or shadow that appears in the wake of a moving object in approximately the opposite colour to that object – hence 'inverse'.
Unfortunately, the VX2739wm has it and it has it bad. All sorts of weird and not very wonderful things can be seen whether you're in-game or just shuffling a few windows around the desktop. Fugly stuff.
Slick looker
The good news, however, is that this isn't your only option. Viewsonic has made the VX2739wm's overdrive completely switchable. In fact, three levels of pixel response are on offer and it's only the fastest that suffers from overdrive-related nastiness. Of course, it's also only the fastest that hits the 1ms metric. But no matter.
The middle setting still makes for an extremely responsive screen and one that doesn't suffer from obvious image quality flaws.
Elsewhere, this monitor mostly impresses. The 27-inch diagonal and full 1080p native resolution works extremely well, offering decent elbow room and good font legibility along with stacks of in-game detail.
As TN panels go, colour saturation and vividness are also strong, even if TN weaknesses, such as narrow viewing angles and colour compression are sometimes all too apparent.
It looks pretty slick, too. Okay, the tilt-only stand is hardly the last word in finely engineered adjustability. But thanks to the glossy black plastics, restrained styling and solid build, it adds a sophisticated dash to any desk. It wouldn't look out of place in the living room, either.
All of which means we're very happy to recommend Viewsonic's latest. For under £300, it's a very nice image-rendering device. Just don't get too excited by all that 1ms malarkey. It's basically a load of rubbish.
$40 Cheaper than Staticice…
How about this one then?
In terms of sheer size (specs and refresh rate be damned) this AOC V27m monitor/TV would be the cheapest 27" around. Also comes with a remote.

What's wrong with 1080p 1920x1080?
Nothing is wrong with it, its just a low resolution for such a big Monitor. 1920x1080 is ideally on a 22" monitor, or even best on a 18.5" widescreen monitor. So the pixel remain the same and the monitor size keeps increasing, hence image quality is lost.
And what about the 40", 42", 50" TV screens with that resolution?
Well do you sit 1 metre or less watching TV on a big screen?
Doing work on computers you do so resolution is important.
all fugly
I take it you havent seen a dell 30" LCD monitor before?
Exactly, and with a monitor your going to be much closer that watching a tv, so its more noticable as well.
I've got a good 27" 1080p monitor and I have no problems with it whatsoever. It looks perfect. Any larger, and you need a higher resolution if you're using it as a computer monitor, but it really is fine as long as you get a good quality one.
Resolution is not too bad for the price. You would be paying a lot more for a higher resolution monitor. Although I would prefer to buy two or three 24" monitors for the price of this one and run them in eyefinity.
I have a lot of older clients that get high resolution monitors thinking bigger is better, but for them it's not. What they need is this kind of monitor - large but with a modest resolution so what is on the screen is readable.
1080 on a 27" what a joke
