Review on Upgrade Your Display with Viotek GFV27DAB: 165Hz Widescreen with Adaptive Sync and High Definition by Kevin Kohl

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Very good, but there are a few issues UPDATE THIS IS DEAD

UPDATE: This monitor died on me after a few months. The panel started glittering like crazy every time it was turned on. I don't know if this was a one off issue or a widespread one, but I would avoid this monitor right now! This monitor is one of the best 1440p 144hz monitors at this price point, in fact it is one of the few at this price point. It was very comfortable to use. The stand is highly adjustable and the monitor itself is convenient to use. However, there are a few problems. The default color profile, HDR on or off, is terrible. In the end, I gave up all monitor-driven settings and used Nvidia's color settings instead. The speakers aren't very loud, so plan on using an external speaker or headphones. All in all, if you don't mind using a different audio device and either want to customize the colors or just use the Nvidia color profile, then this monitor is a must-have if you're after a budget-friendly 1440p 144Hz monitor search.

Pros
  • High scores for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Limited shelf life
