> 3 dayThe monitor itself has no issues from what I can tell, being true to itself: a curved 1440p 165hz gaming monitor. Thats why this isnt 1 or 2 stars The main issue I have is that my DisplayPort suddenly went out without any sort of help (rough movements, voltage changes, etc) and Ive only had this monitor for 4 months. Luckily I was able to use one of the TWO HDMI ports on the back to get it back up and running again. Why theres two HDMI and not two DisplayPorts is beyond me. Mind you, through HDMI, these monitors only reach 75hz, LESS THAN HALF their rated max refresh rate. At least I can still use the monitor until I can get a new one. Low rating for shoddy internal manufacturing.

> 3 dayThis is a really good monitor. It looks good, has all the necessary cord ports, and has a crisp display. My only complaint with it is that the colors could afford to be a bit more saturated, but other than that its fantastic. I will warn, however, that the original packaging isnt the best at protecting it. Be cautious if transporting your monitor, as mine got damaged and I had to have it replaced.

14-04-2025Just received the monitor last night, my initial thoughts were not good. The first thing I did after opening the box was go to set up this monitor for mounting it to a bracket. When you pull the backplate off you have to remove 4 screws that are place holders I assume? This isnt explained well in the instructions but because of where they are and the curve of the monitor you are provided with 4 extension nuts to put in those slots which make it easier for you to mount a bracket to it and create the separation needed. However the set screws on the top and the bottom are at different depths but the extensions are all the same length which when fully tightened the top 2 are longer than the bottom too and it just doesnt seem to work after 15 mins of pure frustration I said screw it and just used the stand provided. I am going to do more reserach today on mounting this to a bracket and update my review. Outside of that the menu is a little confusing at first but once you figure it out its fine, build quality is what you would expect for paying 279 USD you can tell where they skimped on quality for price but honestly its not a big issue like others make it seem on here again for a 32 in 144hz 1440p monitor at this price point what did you expect titanium? Anyway I had no dead pixels but did notice that colors were off when I initially turned on the monitor. After doing a quick windows screen calibration it was good to go (something you have to do for literally any monitor you get). 1ms response time? Dont know where the setting is I have to look around and again this is my initial review picture quality is amazing I have not tested ghosting yet but I put a 3 Start review because I am quite happy but want to get in the settings more and test it on more games before giving a final review. If you are like me and wanted the best (curved) monitor this size at its price point I see no reason not to purchase this item.

> 3 dayThis monitor is the best monitor I have ever used in my entire 40 years of using computer hardware. It has brilliant colors, a beautiful design, a rugged stand and super performance. There are a lot of adjustments you can make in the menu to tweak the way the monitor looks and performs. And setting up for G-sync was simple and is working great, even though Nvidia states that this monitor isnt validated as G-sync compatible. Anyone who reports poor visual quality or performance hasnt taken the time to set the monitor up properly. I love this monitor so much that it is now difficult to work on a smaller or non-curved monitor! And games look and perform beautifully. Attached is a screen shot of Wolfenstein working with all the highest settings enabled and it is running in full screen at top speed. This is the monitor you want to buy if you were holding out for a reasonably priced big curved monitor. I cant say enough great things about it.

> 3 dayThis 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.

> 3 daywith a little tweaking of the settings, this monitor can look pretty good and fits the bill for a standard 1440p 27 workstation monitor. any gamers looking for a high quality experience with the 144hz refresh rate be weary, though--- in comparison to 120hz monitors that ive own from top brand monitors, this one feels extremely blurry. while the response time feels very good, the refresh rate does NOT feel like a 144hz monitor. it must be something to do with pixel responsiveness being low. after testing across multiple games and applications, i would say this monitor decidedly looks and feels like its actually running at about 90-100hz from a visual standpoint. the monitor says its running at 144hz at all resolutions, but it just isnt quite as good as anything youll get from benq, lg, gigabyte, asus, or acer--- that i have tried. the clarity on extremely high framerate games is not there in comparison over competitors, and it is extremely obvious, its not really even close, its very blurry. for a budget workstation monitor with professional oriented applications, this monitor feels very good, the colors exceeded my expectations with a lot of tweaking to the profiles, but failed dramatically for me in terms of gaming performance. Fortunately my old gaming monitors are still perfectly functional and I can keep this for work projects, but overall wish I would have just gotten a monitor with comparable resolution and size, but give up the 144hz for 60hz in exchange for a more reputable brand name at the same price, either that or spent about 50-100 extra for a comparable 144hz 27 1440p from a more reputable brand.

> 3 dayI like the sharpness of the image quality, the width of screen and the vibrant color. I encourage customers to consider this as a great home office / business monitor over and above a gaming screen. When I used Zoom today, many more participants showed up on the monitor, you can see more people at once, and more clearly, with the 27 diagonal / 24 wide screen. Four No. 2 Screws are enclosed for wall mounting. This is helpful, but their spacing is 75mm apart, most wall mount kits are ready for 100mm or larger mounting hole spacing so I had to build a connector to adjust. the monitor is performing better than expected. Recommended.

Greater than one weekI never had a fancy type monitor, so this feels great. I havent had any issues with it. The menu is a bit difficult to figure out but not impossible . In case you are like me and bought a VESA mount to attach it to, be sure to keep the screw extender thingies to put into the holes (it came with them) and then it is easy peasy to mount to VESA mount ( I have the oval back model). I am writing this review because it took me a half hour to figure that out and was about angry when I found the old box and realized they did indeed include the screws needed for this!!! And there are other reviews that said the oval back monitor cannot be VESA mounted, but I found that to be untrue.

> 3 dayNot using for gaming. I purchased this monitor for video Video editing and photoshop . And astrophotography Color nice. Large screen with the room to spread out my editing tools. Sharp image. My video card is a 1080 144htz . I was told it would Stretch to fit the screen . Thats not a problem. I presses detect. The card set up filled the screen. The circle are round not oblong no matter placement so i have no stretch. I did have to move the icon on my desktop out sides sides So far i love this monitor
