Review on Viotek GNV24CB 24 Inch Monitor 1920X1080P FreeSync 1920_X_1080, 144Hz, Curved_Screen by Sean Taylor

[edit] After 2 years of owning this monitor it is already defective as shown in the second picture. I had this problem off and on after my freshman year, but now it's getting pretty serious. For a $200 144Hz monitor, I couldn't ask for more. I've been using it for a few weeks now and haven't had any major problems. A DP cable that supports full 144 Hz is included. Games on my GTX 1070 look amazing on this monitor but then again I don't have much experience with gaming monitors as this is my first monitor over 60Hz so I can safely say it doesn't look terrible. Too bad I can't take advantage of the free sync that comes with this monitor, but honestly I'm just glad I have this monitor. However, the included stand is so-so, only height-adjustable, but at a fixed height. You would have to move the whole stand to adjust it horizontally, and that doesn't work so well with three legs. The 24" monitor is NOT frameless. Another downside is the terrible built in audio which I could definitely do without, but you shouldn't be using your monitor's audio anyway. One of the main issues is that there is a dark spot in the top left corner and another one on the opposite side It's only visible in normal use against a lighter background like in my picture, but not when gaming Pros: - 144Hz - Curved (depends on your preferences) - Decent display quality - DP cable included - Inexpensive $$ Cons: - No horizontal screen adjustable only by vertical angle - Misleading no-bezel ads (only for their larger screen models) - Terrible monitor settings - Poor sound quality - 2 dark spots on the edge of the display
