Invalid description

In the description it says that the monitor can be mounted with Vesa (for the 23.6 inch) but probably only for the 27 inch version after reading the comments. 144Hz with the Displayport cable works well and looks good, but the monitor looks very dim. Even after about an hour of adjusting the image quality, the colors looked bland. Unfortunately I'll be back.

DisplayPort didn't work

I've been using this monitor for about a year. I had to use DVI exclusively to use at all. The DP port worked right out of the box and I sometimes had to reboot the computer multiple times to get the screen to wake up. I've used several DP cables and none of them worked. The GPU wasn't a problem either.

Great for mid-level games

This works great for my setup, no issues with it! Clean picture and 144Hz with no visual lags. Not much needs to be said. No color needed!

Great quality for the price!

I've had this monitor since about February or March. I bought it on sale for $162 which was a real bargain. I now have a dual monitor setup and this is my primary monitor. I mainly use it for gaming. The setup was also very easy and uncomplicated! Even an idiot like me could do it haha. 144Hz is a REAL upgrade for my 60Hz monitor and I can now play games like Overwatch and Apex Legends with smooth frame rates and really utilize my GPU. Just to be on the safe side - once you go to 144Hz you…

  • Uneven illumination.

For the price, this is a fantastic choice if you're looking for something with 144Hz. The curve is just an amazing bonus. My only complaint is that it took some time to set up/calibrate so the display settings don't look boring, but everything looks fine now. I've also had some weird issues (at least with DisplayPort) where the monitor would sometimes go black and not come back until I switched to 60Hz or rebooted. I'm not taking a star off for that yet because it could be something unrelated…

Great monitor for gaming

I gave this to my son for his birthday. He really likes it compared to his old monitor and the curvature of the screen is just right. There are no dead pixels, the box came intact. It was installed within a few days. He says he sees a big difference between this and the old monitor, which had a lower refresh rate. I'll revise my review if anything goes wrong, but so far so good and he (and I) are very happy with it!

Great monitor for the price

I switched to this one from Samsung Curved at 1080p/60Hz. I spent hours choosing which one I wanted and ended up with this one over the scepter. 144Hz is clean, settings haven't changed, and colors look good. Brightness is good right away. I can see the backlight bleeding a bit when the monitor is black, but that doesn't bother me because I don't use it then. In the end I will most likely buy a new one.

Surprisingly more lucky chances

Well it's amazing but it came with a dead pixel on the side of the screen. It's ok I would go back but I don't want to wait for a new monitor to arrive :(

Excellent 144Hz monitor

I use this monitor as the middle screen in my three monitor setup. It has high responsiveness and works great for all my games. 5/5 I would buy again.

Quality monitor at a good price

plays well The picture is clear and the screen is bright. Adjusts to the surrounding brightness. I have the 144Hz version and the playback is very different when playing.

Black screen issues but otherwise solid monitor

In general, the monitor is excellent. I love the curved screen and it helps me focus while gaming or working. However, there was a serious problem - black screens. The screen randomly turns off while I'm using it. I'm not sure if these are my cables, but please let me know if there's anything I can do to fix this (in case anyone else has this problem).

Defective display port cable

The monitor works great but I had HUGE issues with the included displayport cable. From being unable to output 144Hz to completely collapsing an hour after I first plugged it in after an hour of troubleshooting, it was just a mess. For those looking to buy this, use a different cable, it should run at 144Hz. from a DVI-D cable, High Speed HDMI cable, or another brand of Displayport cable.

Decent gaming monitor

I like the 144 refresh rate and the price was good during the sale. I'm still sticking with the non-adjustable stand, though, which might not be an issue for some, but when you're trying to manage your space and plan out your power cords and input cords it can get a little annoying.

Affordable and amazing responsiveness

I liked the monitor, it was to die for. It's obviously not 4K, but 4K performance like this monitor isn't even possible. Great monitor, I recommend it to everyone.

Arrived with dead pixels.

Aside from the terrible quality control, the monitor itself seems to be pretty good. Colors were good and the 75% brightness was just what I like. Fresh out of the box it's preset to its highest frequency of 144Hz, which is nice. However, since mine arrived with dead pixels, I would have to recommend other brands or a different monitor.

Great monitor at a great price

100% satisfied with this purchase. I can't get a better monitor for the price. Crisp images and vibrant colors even via HDMI from my Xbox. So far I've enjoyed playing games on it and had several long sessions with no eye strain.

Great for gaming: my rating

I took it as a second monitor to my 4K. Some games look better in 4k, but shooters and fast-paced games look fantastic on this monitor.
