Ive had this monitor for about a year now and I haven’t had any problems it works great and does as advertised, Ive even overclocked it before (I dont recommend even if you have a good monitor). needless to say its an awesome monitor for the price. it comes with a built in speaker and for a monitor Im not even gonna bash it. if I had a friend who needed a monitor for cheap i would 100% recommend this monitor.

The case and cover on this excellent little monitor are made of durable ABS plastic. Here is my rundown: Pros: Super compact, light, single Type-C cable for signal+power+audio, moderately bright, anti-reflective matte screen. 60Hz. Nice packaging w-decent power adapter + cables. Compact/minimalist stand +flip cover. Sufficient rear-firing sound, but not loud. Super thin and easily packed. Cons: A little edge/backlight bleed from IPS panel - but not a real problem, Volume setting is not remembered after sleep/wake or power off cycle (always resets to 50%). Bottom line: Recommended!

Windows 10 inherently has scaling issue when you have a big sized monitor/high resolution like this one in a multi-monitor setup. My text and overall windows toolbar/apps text were blurry and shadowed, fiddling Windows cleartype settings didnt do much, not even the scaling to beyond 100%. I had to apply the registry hack (also there is a tool that does the job i.e. Windows 10 DPI fix ) and after that, the monitor and windows 10 danced together nicely. Texts are sharp and clear, toolbar menu is all nice as it should be. This is not this monitors fault evidently. For normal desktop use, you wont find it much different than your regular office monitor but its when you are gaming, thats when it shines gloriously. Gears 5 is much more vivid that before on my old LG monitor. The only thing Im missing on this monitor is the ability to tilt and swivel. That is a basic necessity these days for a monitor, I hope the manufacturer will incorporate this in their future models. Overall happy with my purchase. Now back to my Gears 5 mission. :)

The 144hz 1440p monitor is flipping fantastic. I upgraded from a also pretty dope MSI Mag series 144hz curved monitor and this thing knocks it out of the water in terms of color reproduction and overall image quality. Sure the jump from 60hz to 144hz is huge, but the jump from 1080p to 1440p is also a pretty big trip. Text is really sharp on this thing and the sheer amount of screen real estate makes almost necessary to have multiple things going on at once. The 165hz is made possible by turning off freesync and fiddling with the monitor settings in windows and the tradeoff is ok but either is great really. Its not quite perfect as when I put up my pixel to the monitor the colors are considerably less vibrant and while streaming quality varies from device to device, while watching Game of Thrones infamous S8E2 there was more choppy black to dark grey transitions on this monitor than my phone. Might be a combination of OLED vs VA and phone vs PC but just thought Id let it out there. Brightness is also not quite to the level of being able to have a window left wide open on a sunny day, but it hasnt left me asking for more often.

I have had this monitor for a couple of days now and I must say it works fantastically. The picture is beautiful, gameplay is seamless, and overall I am very impressed with this monitor. I am glad that I read the reviews about the included DisplayPort cable as the one that is provided is not very high-quality. I went ahead and spent $6 on a decent cable on Amazon and I havent had any problems whatsoever, not a single stuck pixel, not a single dead pixel, guess I got lucky. The included stand requires some assembly but, unlike other people who have reviewed this products, I feel that the stand is more than adequate is actually quite sturdy. The monitor has a very nice build quality and overall I am very impressed, at first I was a little timid about buying a monitor from a company that I knew nothing about. After a little research I discovered that this particular screen is actually made by Samsung and then pixio puts these monitors together, I am rather fond of Samsung screens and this one clearly is no slouch it is an a+ product. I will not dock stars from this product because of the experience I had in shipping, however it was terrible. now I do realize that this is peak holiday shopping season and I do realize that there are probably a billion packages to deliver all over the United States but it does not excuse the customer service that I received from UPS when dealing with this package. In all I ordered this on Monday and it took over a week before I got the monitor. The customer service was so terrible that I will personally never use UPS as a carrier ever again, I was hung up on by a customer service supervisor and then I was patronized by another one, it wasnt until I got Amazon customer service involved that anything actually got done as far as UPS was concerned. Amazon for the love of all your goodly good things, allow the shopper to pick the carrier!

Easy setup and works very well for gaming and more!

if your not looking to break your bank account this monitor is a pretty good value for a 144hz panel. i tend to lean towards ips because of the picture quality. i really did not see any ghosting in this monitor so that is a plus. it does have freesync and that is another plus. the built in speakers i would not recommend using long term, i would either get a nice pair of headphones or speakers to really get a better experience.

The brightness issues other have mentioned dont seem to be an issue with my unit. Also they included a display port 1.2 6ft cable in the box. The included cable is suitable for 1440p 165hz. Was able to enable g-sync at the 165hz as well with the included cable. I used the monitor color profile provided by Hardware Unboxed $5 Patreon rewards and the colors look great with that profile applied through windows. All in all, probably the best 2k 165hz FLAT panel monitor you can get for the price. Was thinking about getting the G5 odyssey but held off as I really wanted a flat panel opposed to a curved one. Build quality is great, and Wendel from Level1 Tech on YT had high praises of this monitor as well. And they do a lot of cheap Korean monitor reviews. Dont be put off by the brand name, the monitor and panel does what it claims to do a the best price on the market. Also has an OSD crosshair you can enable for games that dont offer one or in case the game you are playing has a crosshair you dont like, you can disable the in game crosshair and use the OSD one instead.

This monitor has blown my mind to pieces. The 165hv refresh rate while I’m playing games really is noticeable. The reason why I have given this 4 stars is because the display cable that came with the monitor was complete trash. The screen would go black and would have white specks on it. Besides the faulty cable , the monitor itself is incredible. Flawless color, no tearing or dead pixels. I very highly recommend this monitor for the price. Just make sure you have a spare hdmi cable just in case.

Buena resolución, buenos colores, antirreflejos.
