Viotek GNV32DBE 32-Inch Curved Gaming Monitor | 2560x1440p QHD | 165Hz | 120% sRGB | FreeSync/G-Sync | 2X DP, 1x HDMI 2.0 | 3 Years Zero Dead Pixels

5 stars... but initial setup was a bit tricky and the layperson might need to do some googling to get their color, brightness, and contrast right. I had to do a combination of monitor settings changes, in addition to changing the color scheme on the Mac settings side. But in the end, they do match the 5k iMac screen quite well. My minimum requirements were 27, 2k,144htz, DP, and FreeSync. I needed two extra monitors for my main 27 iMac. These fit the bill nicely at the best price on the internet. When I initially plugged them in, I will warn, they seemed to be locked into 1080p and as a result looked quite pixelated and not good. However, after a few minutes tweeking the settings, and turning on FreeSync, they are quite close to my main monitor. Perhaps the color isnt quite as true as on my main 5k Apple monitor, and the contrast is noticeably worse, especially in displaying darker colors, but its really pretty close, those are just nitpicks and one would not expect to match up a $1200 monitor with these at about $250... for the price they are FANTASTIC!!! I will also add that they do a good job of auto detecting which input is being used. I use Raspberry Pis a lot so Im often adding and subtracting inputs from these monitors and switching between the inputs is relatively easy too, requiring just 3 clicks to the monitors buttons to switch from using a Viotek as a third monitor, to having it be its own monitor for one of the other Pi computers. Really cant say enough about how surprised I was at these monitors quality. They also came with a dead pixel guarantee, however that didnt come into play because every pixel on the two of these I bought was perfect. Shipping was a bit slow, but thats on the seller and anyways were in a pandemic so thats quite forgivable and they were only a couple days late. Thats about all. If youre looking for a good main monitor for Linux, Mac, or even if youre slumming it on Windows (LOL), these are the absolute best bang for your gaming buck in the 27 curved 2K 144hz category.

This monitor is pretty good for the price. It is the absolute cheapest option with these specs. However, while viotek advertises a 4ms crystal clear image, there is noticeable black smearing and some ghosting in general. I am particularly sensitive to these types of issues, and this monitor stands out as having a fairly slow pixel response time. It has never caused me to be at a competitive disadvantage though, and in 99% of situations it merely looks like there is an extra-low motion blur option on in a game. The image is still quite sharp, and with the high resolution and large size of the panel I can still make out most fine details while moving the camera around. The colors are much better than my old TN panel, and the brightness and contrast in general stand out as very good. The menu buttons are clumsy, but even if I were switching inputs frequently it would not prevent me from buying this monitor. The stand is absolutely horrible. It takes up a lot of space on the desk and does not inspire confidence. This can be remedied by purchasing a quality monitor arm. Also, contrary to the zero dead pixel policy, my unit arrived with exactly one dead pixel. I wont return it over a single pixel, as I cant see it except for on a black screen, but it is disappointing. I would purchase this monitor again. Even with the ghosting, I am happy with my purchase. It is a big step up from a 24 144hz tn panel. However, if I ever get back into a few fast paced esports games, I will probably play them on my faster TN panel.

Ok, so this is day 1. I realize things may change over time, but right out of the box I am loving this monitor. Zero dead pixels. Beautiful colors and sharpness. Playing Division 2 and the change from my previous 24 Asus monitor is just ridiculous. I feel like Im gaming at a movie theater. I am no expert and dont have any tools to measure things like response rate, but I sure havent noticed any ghosting or lag or anything. It plays super smooth. It defaulted to 2560x1440 when I hooked it up, although at 60hz. It was simple to change it to 120 or 144hz though in my graphics settings. I read a couple of reviews from people saying the monitor was a little dark even at 100% brightness. I have no idea what they were seeing, but this came set to 90% from the factory and it was so bright I couldnt stand to look at it. I have turned it all the way down to 20% and its now comfortable on my eyes. YMMV but its way more than bright enough for me. All the features are working. The audio out for my headphones is fine. Display port and HDMI ports (all 3) work. Picture in Picture works great. i have my work laptop connected as a second input and can switch between it ansd my personal PC easily. One thing to note, there is a Picture Beside Picture option for dual inputs where the screen is halved and you can see both inputs at the same time. It works, but it screws the resolution up where everything so distorted its not really useable. Ive fiddled with other (lower) resolutions but that didnt help much. Maybe Ill try a custom resolution if I can set it. 1280x1440 might work. Overall I am extremely pleased at the initial experience. I was a little worried that a cheap, lesser known brand monitor might have issues but its solid and beautiful. Would buy another in a heartbeat.

I was looking for a good 27inch monitor which is either a 4k or 2k panel. I came across this model. There arent a lot reviews on youtube for this product which is kinda shame because it is actually a great panel. Pros: 1. Lets face it, its budget friendly. I got mine for 260 bucks. 2. Resolution is amazing and color calibration is little bit on the saturated end. Picture and video looks crisp and nice. 3. Great response time. 5ms is probably an overstatement. I actually tested it. It usually falls somewhere around 6-7ms which is still great. 4. VESA compatible 5. Beautiful and subtly curved screen. Cons: 1. The HDMI cable included is trash. It doesnt really support fast data transfers required for 2k display. (I would suggest getting a displayport 1.4 cable for this model and not HDMI) 2. Stand included is not good. Youre better off buying a VESA mount and stand separately. 3. Its not bright enough. Overall, I am happy with this monitor. I would definitely recommend it.

Well the monitor is great I love it I been using it for 1 year and something but for some reason when I try to put my ps5 to run 1440p 120hz the screen goes black and the ps5 tells me that my tv dosent support 1440p at 120hz I also try to put the resolution of the ps5 at 1080p but it will not run 120hz either But on Xbox series S it does run 120hz on 1080p when I try to put 1440 it kicks me back and says that my monitor will not run 1440 at 120hz But in PC it will allow u to play at 1440p 120hz so u can only take the full advantage if you a PC player I will not recommend for consoles players

A good monitor, I have enjoyed it for the three weeks Ive had it

I needed monitor that was bright, didnt hurt my eyes looking at it 10-12 hours a day ( I work from home - IT Security). This absolutely delivered and didnt break the bank. I had never heard of this company before and thought I would give is a chance. I am happy I did!! As for gaming, I tried it just to see since I already had another 32 for gaming. This was crisp and the G-Sync worked like a champ! I may get another of these for my workspace.

First one had dead pixels notified seller had me return it. Sent another out right away works as should

This is by far the BEST monitor I have EVER OWNED. It out performs my Dell, Asus, Acer, & Viewsonic units. BY A LOT! And it looks better while doing so, both with its design and screen quality. It is absolutely bright and has superb vibrant colors! And mine came with ZERO dead pixels. There is NO lag or ghosting while gaming, and watching movies is super enjoyable. I just cant believe what a difference it made coming from my last 144Hz, 1ms, 24 monitor. This is a whole new ball game! I am EXTREMELY happy that I decided to give Viotek a chance after I did extensive research and comparisons. Now I really want to buy 2 more for a full peripheral setup.....but I am already spying their 32 version.... :o)

Everything is great. Image quality is good and 144hz is such a noticeable difference. I have only 2 gripes though. 1. The stand it comes with SUCKS BAD. It always wants to tip forward. Bad design on that 2. There is visible LED backlighting wash out Overall not bad for the money. Im sure another 300 dollars would fix that though lol Update: had this for a year now and its still working great. I put it on a wall mount exclusively and threw the stand away after it fell forward on my head. It took a decent hit in the center of the screen and it never looked any different. If its on sale for the near 200 mark get this monitor.
