I recen tly had a 27" monitor and 1080p looked fine , so you may want to consider that different monitors will present a display differently and you want to consider the source on what you hear. Not everything is 100% all the time every brand and every model will have some percentage of failure or defective parts.
A report or someone saying something does not mean the whole line is bad , all 27" monitors are bad with 1080p ?
