Review on AOPEN 27HC5R Pbiipx Curved Monitor with FREESYNC Technology, Full HD 165Hz Refresh Rate by Bart Lynch

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nice but not very bright

This monitor is "addictive". Good picture although 144Hz with DP. The small joystick button for switching on and off and calling up the menu on the back is impractical. There's also no auto-off feature. If you're using the DP port, you'll need to turn it on or off at the right time, otherwise you'll have to reboot at shutdown, or "skip" the shutdown and tap to make the damn thing turn off. Sometimes the display is not recognized via DP either. Depending on the setting, the screen is quite soft on the eyes with less strain. The curve looks good. The maximum brightness is not very high. This is sometimes an issue with dark areas in some games. Overall a good buy compared to many others in this price range.

Pros
  • Bent
Cons
  • Loud fans.
