Great for games

I bought this monitor solely for PS4 Pro gaming and it does its job well. The display looks good and the built-in speakers are pretty solid.

I am very happy with my screen!

After returning a branded screen and looking for a good screen to match my MacBook Pro M1 I found this fantastic monitor. Nice clear picture, excellent value for money!

  • Image retention: If an image is on the screen for too long, the image may remain on the screen permanently.

Great. Used as a TV monitor. My blind wife can now see the details of her face on the monitor. They weren't visible before. She enjoys watching FRIENDS shows and most of the scenes are dark. She is happy and that makes me happy.

Decent Monio good for me

Need a new version of this monitor for 120fps for xbox c series because this monitor can only run 60fps. That's my review!

  • Bad viewing angles

Listen to the reviews, this monitor is terrible for the price. Don't buy this. I thought the specs spoke for themselves and when I got them I searched every possible forum for a configuration that was meant for high quality gaming and this is not the right product. You will also receive a 20% commission on replenishment. Nonsense, I returned it under "found a better price" because none of the quality was worse than stated. Trust the process and don't buy.

The monitor is terrible, the picture sucks. Ghosting and pretend hdr. Well it's a joke. Repackaged and returned same day. This monitor couldn't disappoint me more.

renew product? Perhaps

The box is battered and stuffed with shipping labels. I don't know, it's a brand new product. But I felt like this is an updated product. It works well. However, I don't know if it will fail later.

Only works a few months

It's been a few months and my monitor is flickering fast. It looks buggy, like the entire screen is on a grid, and is practically useless for anything where visuals are important. That happens with multiple HDMI cables, so it can't be. Of course it's out of my returns window now. Don't waste money.

  • There are new competitors

I connected the monitor to my Macbook Pro using an Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) cable. It can be issued and charged. However, most buttons in the Eye Care menu are disabled. I suspect Low Blue Light and BI+ only work with HDMI. But my Mac won't charge when I connect it to the monitor's HDMI port. I suggest the seller provide a link to their USB-C™ cable which is not included.

4k and colors are accurate enough for my photo editing needs

I needed a 4k monitor with good color accuracy to work with my photos. This one fits the bill without completely breaking the bank. I'm not sure it'll be a great gaming monitor, but for photo and video editing it gets bright enough and has enough clear sound from the built-in speakers to get the job done.

Wobble City: my review

I was excited to try this monitor with my 4K laptop. Looks great and at first I was impressed with the quality of the image and the sharpness of the text in Word and Excel. until I started writing. I'm typing cleanly, but every keystroke made the monitor shake wildly. Even a slight movement of the mouse with your hand made it swing! I've tried positioning it on a couple of large books, a stack of printer paper, any number of items in combination, but it still rocked back and forth like a…

One has already been replaced, the second is out now.

I wanted this monitor, especially for the price. I bought two. One of mine started flickering in the second week. Raven replaced him. Now, 10 months later, another one broke. The quality of this brand is lacking. I'd rather pay half the price and switch every two years than deal with it.

Great for taking photos

Got this after looking at a cheaper Samsung ultra wide monitor with terrible color matching. I'm a photographer and I edited on a MacBook Pro but the screen was always too small and this monitor is AWESOME! The colors are rich and perfect for editing in Photoshop and Lightroom. Definitely worth the money.

Kill me now - my new review

This image quality is literally killing me. Now I'm tempted to upgrade my other two monitors to similar picture quality because this one is SO good.

Phenomenal quality: my rating

I was skeptical after reading the reviews but this monitor is truly amazing! Great picture quality, decent speakers and a good selection of ports. The 27" is quite large, but the base is centered so it doesn't take up too much desk space.

The USB-C input did not work. There are also no USB-A ports.

When it arrived I was surprised that it didn't have USB-A downstream ports like every other USB-C monitor I've seen, so I was almost relieved when the USB-C video input didn't work, so I could return it I bought an equivalent LG monitor that has a lot more features for the same price and it really works.
