> 3 dayHonestly there’s nothing about this monitor that I don’t like. The price is appropriate, the quality is nice, 2 day shipping with prime, and it’s great for budget purchases! If there’s anything to complain about it’ll probably be that there’s no sound from the monitor but there’s a headphone input along the back so if you’re looking for a decent monitor for under $200 please look no further than this!

> 3 dayI’ve had the monitor for abt a month now and it works great so no complaints Edit: I’ve had the monitor for over a year now and it still works wonders so it was an absolute steal when I bought it for $156

Greater than one weekTo be clear, this is a review of the 24 model, not the 27. Ive only had it for a couple days, so Ill have to wait and see whether my long-term experience matches my initial impressions, but so far it has met all my expectations. Easy to assemble and hook up, with no stuck pixels or other cosmetic issues. It only comes with an HDMI cable so I had to buy a DisplayPort cable separately but thats not a big deal. Also, I was pleased to discover that it does indeed support G-Sync. The store page listings gave me the impression that the 24 and 27 models both support FreeSync but only the bigger one had G-Sync, so when I ordered the smaller one I expected to have to figure out how to make FreeSync work with my PCs Nvidia card. But the actual packaging (and a sticker on the stand base) make it clear that the 24 one absolutely does support G-Sync too, and once I had it connected it was easy to enable it from the Nvidia control panel. Im upgrading from a basic 60 hz office-style monitor, so Ive immediately noticed a big difference when gaming. My PC isnt particularly powerful, so most games cant stay above 100 fps without turning down the graphics settings, but even running at 80-90 fps, everything feel noticeably smoother. The 1 ms response time also makes a big difference there - my old monitor had an input lag of something like 8 ms. And G-Sync seems to be doing its job as far as avoiding tearing or stuttering, and even when I keep the graphics settings high and allow the framerate to fluctuate, it still feels smooth. The overall image also looks brighter, clearer and sharper, with noticeably more vibrant colors. Thats especially true when gaming but it even applies just to web browsing. As gaming monitors go, this one is pretty much the most affordable option without sacrificing quality, so its probably outclassed by most other gaming screens, but if youre upgrading from a generic 60 hz monitor its a substantial improvement. My only complaint is that, for whatever reason, the default gamma setting is way, way too high, so when I first plugged it in the whole thing looked really washed out, with colors that were actually less bright than on my old monitor. At first I thought it was a contrast problem so I tried to fiddle with the monitors own contrast and brightness settings but that didnt work. But then I went into the Nvidia control panel and turned the gamma down by about 30% and voila - instant fix.

Greater than one weekI have had no problems so far works great. I am a moderate gamer so nothing hardcore. Its heavy and sturdy. I dont like the white LED in the bottom when its off it flashes and in a bedroom it bothers me. It would b nice 2 turn it off or dim it or have another color.

19-11-2024monitor is spotless, no scuffs on the screen. picture quality is good, some adjustments are required to get the brightness/contrast/color better. heads up, youll probably want to go into your monitor settings and actually apply it to 144hz, mine was set to 60hz before I corrected it I play rainbow six siege on an i5 CPU with a gtx 1070 GPU, I can push 150-175 fps and the change from a 60hz monitor to this one is like night and day. I am not disappointed b this monitor

> 3 dayI like this monitor for the clear picture on screen and sharpness. Great for games online as it seems faster to get up then my old monitor had. Good buy and great look. I recommend this monitor to my friends and family.

> 3 dayThis is an excellent gaming monitor for those of us who are also working from home during the pandemic. Colors are great for a TN panel. One of the things I like the most about it is the ability to adjust the height of the stand. I have a sit stand desk at my studio that I often times swing up and down during the day while working. The ergo capabilities of the monitor makes it so much easier on my column to withstand the entire day at home! I would definitely recommend it to anyone in the market for a gaming monitor. At $199 it won’t break your bank, and you’re getting an impressive 144hz refresh rate!

> 3 dayid say this is one of the better TN panels Ive worked on, colors are slightly washed out from the factory, but going into windows color calibration helped fix the issue. Have an IPS panel next to it so I can tell the slight color differences but if you only have one monitor, you would probably never notice. good to note that it comes with a very sturdy stand and that it is indeed VESA mountable (unlike the reviews and answers say)

21-11-2024Going from a 55 inch tv, casual gamer, to a little bit more serious of a gamer, this monitor as exceeded my expectations. The quality is good in my opinion, but im no professional gamer. Going from a 55 inch TV to this, has by itself made me perform better in competitive gamemodes. So take this as you will. I have had it for almost a year and to this point nothing has gone out or broken on it. Works as intended. And seems to me to be above average.
