Excellent 144Hz monitor, reliable under heavy use

I bought this 144Hz monitor in July 2019 but didn't use it until March 2020 when many of us started working from home due to COVID-19. This monitor has been used very intensively for the last 5-6 months, averaging 12-16 hours a day with no issues. Colors and contrast are excellent with no flickering or other issues. Netflix looks good. It's worth noting that the output is much clearer when connected to a 144Hz display port (143Hz as shown in my Dell Latitude 7300's display settings). This drops

Nice gaming monitor, but why isn't a display cable included?

If you like high frame rates for a low price this is a really good buy and you can even overclock your monitor to 165Hz! That's my review.

Great monitor. Especially for the price

Very good monitor for the price. Everything is fine, the picture is excellent. The only downside for me is that the viewing angles are a bit poor, but not terrible. The way I set it up, I see some green on top of the white writing. in the upper right corner. Plus, for the price, you can't beat it and I would definitely recommend it.

Nice smooth gaming monitor!

True 144Hz at a decent price. Pretty good. Freesync works fine with my 5700 XT graphics card. No tears anymore. Now I can rip and rip demons in Doom Eternal while this monitor keeps up. It even helped me climb the CS:GO leaderboard! If you go from 60Hz to 144Hz everything will be very smooth! If you have a PS4 or Xbox One switch with some kind of external audio, you can also use them with 2 HDMI ports. Just make sure you have or buy a DisplayPort cable if you want better PC-free syncing. Only…

Great for the games in my review

My husband plays online games and loves this monitor. Had to change settings and now says it's a great monitor for gaming. The only downside is my computer tower can't connect to it so it's strictly for his PlayStation and I have to make room in our office for a second monitor for my computer.

Stay away from this monitor and this company

I bought this monitor with my new gaming setup as it was pretty expensive on Amazon for its price. I adjusted everything and everything looked fine. It worked fine for a month or two before I started having TV interference. It was something I had never seen before in my life. At first I thought it was something with my HDMI cable, so I tried a different one. The problem subsided for a while, and then I started having glitches on the TV again. Then I thought it was my GPU, I recently bought a…
