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

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.

Update on the last review. This monitor is not as advertised. Its maximum refresh rate on 1440p is 100Hz. 144Hz is for 1080p.

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)

This monitor was a great deal for what you get! The included stand has skiing legs sticking out wide, so I recommend a wall mount or vesa desk mount. Unfortunately at the time of writing, I cannot get this monitor to run 1440p 120hz with my Xbox Series X. It supposedly needs hdmi 2.1 even for 1440p120hz. However, I hear there are rumors Microsoft might fix this. Yes, the monitor is hdmi 2.0, but my MSI laptop can run 1440p up to 144hz on it no problem (with a 40mbps hdmi or greater cable). No dead pixels yet, and it has freesync support. Built in center crosshairs are optional in the OSD.

I did a bunch of research and comparing monitors. Im glad I settled on this one. I was a bit nervous at first, especially with the affordable price. I bought 2 of them for my new PC set up and couldnt be happier. Picture looks very good and Ive only found 1 dead pixel which I didnt noticed until I looked for it. Only downside for me is the menu on these monitors is rather cheap and basic, like a monitor from 2005. I would definitely recommend.

Died after 2 years :(

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

Its a great upgrade from my old 1080 60Hz monitor so I have no complaints other than if your desk has a slight wobble to it, the monitor stand will amplify that slightly. Any bump or shake to the surface it is sitting on will make the monitor noticeably wobble.

I dont think theres a better deal out there for a monitor of this quality. Its 32 inches, 144hz, 1440p, and $320. Theres nothing else to say in my opinion. Its even compatible with G-Sync and FreeSync (not that the G-Sync even affects me, because I have an AMD build), but its still cool to have. The picture is more than bright enough, and even in heavily lit rooms, it still manages to seem bright. My only complaints are that 1. I had to manually turn on FreeSync (but that was easy to do) and 2. It doesnt come with built in speakers (which was also fine because I have nice PC speakers, and I was gonna use them anyways). To put it simply, youre not gonna find a better bang for your buck!

Ive bought multiple viotek monitors for myself and others in the past and I stand by them. If you play with the settings you can get the color just right. Used for gaming this is one of the best price vs performance brands on the market. There is better quality out there but for the price you cant argue with viotek.
