Amazing monitor. Even more amazing customer service.

So I'm going to address the elephant in the room first. I bought this monitor in August 2020. It has worked great for 90% of the year I've owned it. It initially hits 165Hz without the need for overclocking or anything like that. It has good gaming response times and is a decent size, but isn't too big if you need a multi-monitor setup. It's more than reasonable for its price. However, I said it worked great for 90% of the year. This is because around June 2021, white spots appeared on the…

Good for gaming, bad for everything else

This monitor says it's 1080p, but at least it's only for gaming. Because any 1080p+ movie, video or TV series I play on this monitor looks like 720p or 480p - which is a shame. I used to have a TV as a monitor and it was much better suited for it than this monitor. The only thing I can't complain about is the games as the quality of the games is great. Also, the brightness and color bar is only good for gaming, it gets annoying when you try to use it for something else. Don't recommend this…

FANTASTIC for the money

I've only had this monitor for a few days but will update if I have any major changes in my thoughts on it. Other than that, this is my first high refresh rate monitor and it is WOW. I have another lightweight 75Hz gaming monitor from Acer and it pales in comparison. The colors on this monitor are very vibrant and the 165Hz refresh rate is buttery smooth. One thing to note: it sits low, close to the desk, and the stand is a few inches shorter than my other monitor. It's not that big of a deal…

Great picture for beginners

I bought this monitor after it was recommended to me. I'm new to PC gaming, just finished a Lenovo and am using a Samsung TV as my monitor while waiting for this one. The picture quality is DIVINE. The move from 60Hz to 160Hz was crucial and now the size is perfect for my needs. Valheim done decently and I can't wait to play FF and KH on this monitor. The video shows the quality of the image (night light mode was on). However, the video is too generous with the sound. It's very grainy…

A really great monitor for the price

I've only had it connected for a few hours, but so far I'm absolutely thrilled. - No dead pixels. - Refresh rate up to 165 Hz with DisplayPort (cable included). fantastic on the default settings. The best I've ever seen. - FreeSync is an option if you want to try it. - The vertical field of view is excellent. - The horizontal viewing range is decent. A minus point: I don't like the tripod that came with it. to adjust. It's short and has three points of contact with the table, so I buy the mount

SPECTREacular in my review

FYI, to get 144Hz, don't forget to go into settings (you can type a search bar if you can't find it) >> System >> Display (change to 1920x1080 if your HDMI /VGA cable for some reason this doesn't auto detect) >> Advanced Display Settings >> Display Properties for Display 1 [also Display 2 if you are using dual monitors]) >> Click on the Monitor tab >> Select 144Hz and save/ok First Impression: I was a little nervous as I think 24" might be too small as I've…

Second monitor in my review

I had this exact monitor model/size last year and bought a second one when I saw it was on sale and wanted to upgrade to a dual monitor. It was an extremely reliable monitor and I never had a problem with it in the time I spent with it. I find this unbeatable for the price and the 165Hz frequency. (Don't bother with cable management, I know it's bullshit)

Very good, just one problem

I've had this for a year and the only problem I had was the sound. The volume is very low, so I recommend getting a speaker or something if you want to hear something. Otherwise great monitor

  • IPS panel. The IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel is second to none when it comes to consistently delivering maximum color reproduction and clear visibility from multiple viewing angles.

Very good, but only 1 thing

One thing I've seen on my monitor is that sometimes when my computer is in sleep mode and I wake it up, sometimes it doesn't show an input connection. So I just unplug the power cord and plug it back in and it works. This error is very rare, but this is just a guide on how to fix it. Although a good price for 165 Hz and the presence of HDMI or Display Port.

The perfect 1080p monitor

Bought on June 4, 2021 for about $180 and have had it since (January 2022). It worked right out of the box, simply plugged into the included display port and has been using it almost every day since. Luckily I had no dead pixels at all. However, as usual, speakers should definitely not be used if the user enjoys good sound, but that's not a problem for me as I use headphones when gaming. Very pleased :)

Small backlight

Overall this monitor is good except for the speakers and backlight. Leaks are easy to ignore, especially when gaming, but the speakers aren't that great at low volumes.
