    Balanced, good image quality, good color rendering.

    The only thing I didn't like is that the IPS panel isn't well suited for gaming, especially games like csgo, valorant or apex. It's not too bad, but like I said, I think the TN panel does a better job with response time and all. If you're looking for a monitor and want no motion blur and a better frame rate when gaming, try a TN panel. This monitor is balanced on both counts. nice colors and good xs. Response time is the only thing that isn't as good as the TN panel

    Good monitor, suits me

    I don't play competitive FPS games, so I can't tell you how it performs in that area, but it's very bright right out of the box and the image is sharp. You can also play around with the color/image quality in the menu. Setup is easy, and to be honest, the monitor and base look beautiful. The base is slightly larger than the keyboard at 60% so it's a great space saver and is a neat little spot for a keyboard if you need space to type or whatever. Whether you're looking for a cheap but good…

    Good monitor, takes a long time to turn on

    In general, a good monitor, no criticism. The picture is nice, the refresh rate is as promised, so I like it. On the cons: - the time to turn on or switch the source is about 10 seconds. I often use KVM to switch from a work laptop to a home setup and it takes an annoyingly long time to display an image from two monitors. The built-in tiny speakers are unusable. A player would never use them. A USB hub would be much better than speakers. It's not there.

    ViewSonic for life in my head

    Have owned a 24" ViewSonic monitor for 10 years with no problems. I did this on Cyber Monday just for the bigger screen and felt bad sending my 24" for storage because it is fine to date .I've never heard of ViewSonic in 2011 when I bought this 24" unit for my only computer and have lasted through to my next 2 computers. I would never buy any other brand based on the success I've had with of this brand. This monitor is bigger and I'm just as happy as my first ViewSonic monitor. Can't comment on

    EASY on the eyes! and FULLY adjustable.

    I bought this monitor because it is height adjustable. Turns out only "gaming" monitors have height adjustment. While I don't use it for gaming, there's the added benefit of a blue light filter, eliminating the need to wear blue light glasses to reduce eye strain. Another advantage is the 144Hz refresh rate, which reduces flickering, which also reduces eye strain. This monitor is paired with an NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1660 Ti 6GB GDDR6 graphics card that supports DisplayPort output on the Dell XPS

    Great monitor - my new review

    It's a great monitor, and its ultra-thin bezel is great for dual-monitor setups. The picture looks good, the higher refresh rate is cool. The only criticism is the power button. It's at the back with the others, which doesn't really matter, but I want it to be at the bottom or on the side. Annoyingly, it doesn't turn off with one click while your computer is still on. When your computer is on, you should press and hold it for about 5 seconds. If your computer is off, you must wait for the…

    Malfunction? Just bad quality control? Returned.

    I chose this monitor for a number of reasons. Claimed high color quality, refresh rate, and non-gamer aesthetics. However, upon turning on the monitor, I noticed a noticeable backlight blurring at the top edges of the display, to the point where you couldn't ignore it anymore. It was the very first thing I noticed. Curving the monitor also causes colors to be distorted when tilted, which doesn't bode well for build quality. This is very disappointing as it would have been a good monitor if it…

    flickering and other problems

    When delivered, the monitor has many ghost images/streaks. In a framerate game it looks like ultra high motion blur. After playing around with the monitor settings for a while I managed to reduce this. After a couple of weeks, a pixel spot started flickering (as seen in the video). I fixed it by lowering the refresh rate in Windows from 144Hz to 120Hz. Raising it to 144Hz immediately brought the flickering back, and lowering it to 120Hz solved the problem. A few months later the problem…

    Great monitor, bad service

    Bought two of these monitors a year ago. Both monitors were fine until about a month ago one of them started having display issues. Contacted support, went through troubleshooting steps and was told to send monitor in for service. Viewsonic does not pay for shipping or send a replacement monitor. I will update the rating depending on the monitor return delay. Current Status: Monitor was received on May 03, 2022 Update: Monitor was returned 12 business days after shipment. I've since used it as…

    • Limited resolution options

    I bought a FHD 144Hz IPS version of this monitor to pair with an RTX 2060 tower to play Warzone and some big Steam games. Framerate averages around 100 seconds with everything on and off, which is what I was expecting. I can disable some settings and get it closer to a stable 144, but I'm fine around 120. No problem with the G-Sync setting, which seems to be working very well. I've been checking this out on Revain for over $400 for a while now. The MSRP at the time was $189. The MSRP was…

    Bought two of these monitors. One of them works fine, and the other had some dust particles behind the screen. At first I thought these were dead pixels, but upon closer inspection they are behind the screen.

    • Dubious purchase for older people

    You cannot use Gsyn or FreeSync with a 1ms response time. If you also enable the 1 ms response time, the image quality and brightness will be degraded by about 20%. When testing 144Hz with the UFO, there is significant ghosting even with a 1ms response time. I bought dll for 161, for such a price it is normal. But I would look for another one with better image quality and less ghosting.

    Amazing for the price

    Since my eyes are very sensitive, I use a low brightness. The monitor is exactly as advertised with smooth bezels and an advertised frequency of 144Hz. After using that high refresh rate I don't think I can go back to 60Hz. Very happy with the monitor and would recommend it to anyone as a budget 144hz monitor.

    White spots on three monitors for several hours

Cooperation with technical support is very difficult, they are useless. I even sent them a video clip of how I connect it to my Windows PC and then the Chromebook doesn't work.
