> 3 dayI was a little bit skeptical about buying this monitor but it came pretty quick with no noticeable issues. The speakers are a bit off, I noticed that they sound a bit high pitched and it can be hard hearing certain things in the game. But other than that the monitor is pretty great. I personally like the settings options and being able to tilt the monitor. I definitely recommend this for causal gaming

> 3 dayNot to shabby for the cost. Bought this for a family member who needed a bigger screen

> 3 dayDecent monitor for the price but had to send back. Had a stuck pixel in the center of the screen that is very noticeable on a white screen. Buttons being on the back of the monitor are an odd placement and have to blindly press around to adjust monitor settings or turn monitor off. Stand is very wobbly left to right . Being a 1080p on a 27 picture quality isnt very crisp. No Display Port connection if you have a newer graphics card that supports it. The on board speakers are very tinny and not even usable.

> 3 dayGreat value. I bought this to use for Xbox One and PS4 online gaming (most people know now that the higher frame rates on monitors give you a significant advantage) and have to say it does this perfectly. No issues out of the box and very easy to set up. As other reviews state the speakers on the monitor are absolutely terrible, but given what I bought this item for that is irrelevant as I will be using headphones anyway. Will see how it holds up the next few months, but starting off this was exactly want I was looking for and I couldnt be happier. Highly recommend this monitor for any consol gamers out there looking for a way to stop getting shot around corners or dying from lag. Picture quality - 5/5, I notice so much more in games now compared to TVs it is so clear Sound - 1/5, do not buy this if sound quality is a factor the speakers are useless Frame rate - 5/5, as advertised has very high frame rate Construction quality - 4/5, the stand feels sturdy but is all plastic so if you arent careful I could see it breaking Again, exactly what I was looking for and so far very happy with my investment!

> 3 dayoverall not bad value for the money, but now I do need to buy speakers - the sound quality is awful (I try to appreciate the nostalgic resemblance of 90s PCs, but...).

> 3 dayIve only had the monitor for a day but Im happy with the purchase. I initially tried to cancel the order but the seller had already shipped. I figured I would give it a try and send it back if it wasnt up to spec. Im coming from a 12 year old Samsung T260HD monitor that is 25.5 inches, 1920x1200 @60hz. This was top of the line at the time and paid $329 while this was one was only $109. The old monitor had screen tearing in games (no g-sync or freesync) and FPS play wasnt ideal, especially in COD Warzone. If youve never played on a higher refresh rate monitor before, it makes a difference. I tried overclocking the monitor to 85hz and then 80hz but neither took so I tried out the rated spec of 75hz with freesync and let me say.. I could notice the difference right away and even picked up my first Warzone Solo victory. Aiming was much more smooth and I could keep my reticle glued on other players. If youre using this for light gaming and youre coming from a 60hz panel, youll be pleasantly surprised. This appears to be a TN panel because the viewing angles are poor. Theyre completely fine when viewed straight ahead - since this is being used as a computer monitor, its not a problem for me but buyer beware. No dead pixels or edge bleeding to speak of. Blacks arent super dark but decent and the factory setting was ok as far as brightness and contrast was concerned. I configured to my liking and Im satisfied. The stand is wobbly as others have stated and I didnt even bother with speakers, nor should you. Im not expecting this thing to last but Im hoping to get 2-3 years out of it. I was looking to get a higher refresh rate monitor (144-165hz) but after doing research, you cant take advantage of the higher refresh rate unless your frames per second average is just as high (144+fps). With a Ryzen 5 2600 and an aging Rx 570, Im getting an average of 75fps in COD Warzone with the settings at high. In this case, the monitor is a perfect pairing for the 75hz refresh rate. In order to take advantage of the higher refresh rate you will need to open up your AMD or Nvidia software and create a profile that is set @75hz. Once this is created, go into display settings on your computer -> advanced settings -> monitor and then select the new 75hz profile from the drop down. Last, you will need to enable freesync from the monitor control panel (its in the menu options) and then enable it in the AMD software (not sure about Nvidia). If youre lucky, you may be able to overclock the monitor to a higher refresh rate. Just create a profile for 80 or 85hz, select it in display settings and see if it takes. If it doesnt, the monitor will revert back to the previous refresh rate in 10 seconds. From what Ive read, this doesnt harm your monitor and it depends on the manufacturer as to how far you can overclock it. Dont expect much from this panel, however. All-in-all, its an upgrade for me in just about every way. Some people say a 27 screen at 1080p for gaming isnt ideal. I beg to differ. The pixel density isnt superb by any means but I didnt notice any difference from a slightly smaller screen (25.5 vs 27) and less pixels (old monitor was 1920x1200). If I had to choose, Id take the extra real-estate over pixel density which I think only amounts to 6ppi. Theres pixel density calculators out there if youre curious. If you can afford it and your GPU/CPU can achieve 100+fps, I would go with a higher refresh rate monitor. For lower end specs, general use or a second monitor and for the low price, I dont see why not.

Greater than one weekUsing it for work. No gaming. Picture looks crisp and clear. Not sure how it runs with games. Definitely recommend for a work monitor.

> 3 dayTwo year in with a pair of these hooked to a Mac mini. It has been an adventure. The Mac and these have intermittent issues. The monitor settings are hard to adjust. The price is right, dont forget that.
