Good monitor while working

I ordered this monitor as a Christmas present and unfortunately it had a large patch of dark pixels right after the first use. I ordered a replacement and this monitor worked very well for a week before the screen flashed erratically for a few seconds and then a 2 or 3 inch wide vertical rectangular portion of the screen went completely black from top to bottom (when it was off for example). .

Great monitor for Black Friday

It was sold at a pretty insane discount on Black Friday and it was the best buy of the year. I really had to play around with the monitor settings to tweak the performance. I got halos out of the box. Overall a great monitor!

PSA: This is the highest rating of ALL AMAZON MONITORS.

Short version: Any monitor you order will have dead pixels. This particular monitor came with dead pixels, as did 8 other monitors I tried on Amazon. That being said, this one comes with an excellent warranty, so pull the trigger.

Great size for programming

The bezel is slightly thicker. It is robust and can be swiveled left or right and is also height-adjustable. I've been using it for about 6 months, mostly browsing the web, Netflix, and programming. There are no dead pixels yet, everything works. Features two HDMI ports and one display port. It would be nice to install two of these as dual monitors in the future.

Great monitor for the price!

Great IPS gaming monitor with minimal IPS glow. I've tried LG monitors but couldn't get over how bad the IPS glow was. Very happy with this screen! No dead pixels, good colors, minimal IPS shine and a fantastic price! Better guarantee than the competition! By the way, my old Viewsonic XG2402 is still robust and uses a second monitor.

Great monitor! the best in my rating

A very good monitor. Great to play, although admittedly I only play casual games like Sims and Stardew Valley. Videos look great too, but don't forget to check the settings. There are a few basic ones that are not included. Brightness and color depth/accuracy are excellent. The size is perfect. Very happy!

Pixels fail in the third week

I received this monitor a few weeks ago, or maybe just a few, but I threw the box away without thinking that so many Christmas presents had arrived. Anyway, I have 17 pixels on my screen that are all white and it's really annoying. Don't throw away the box like I did. It's a great monitor, otherwise it just sucks that the pixels are already degrading because I paid $240 for it.

Great monitor for the price.

I have no problems with this monitor. The picture is excellent, the 1ms mode dims the screen which can be an issue for those who can play in a brightly lit room.

Good monitor but too expensive.

I bought this monitor from Microcenter in November 2021 for $230. Great monitor for the price. Goes well with my 3070ti. I was able to overclock to 165Hz with no issues. The main issue I have is that Revain is selling this monitor for $400 despite it not being nearly as much or as good as a monitor. It has a decent IPS screen, but the display certainly isn't fantastic. The display isn't very bright and the built-in speakers are a bit mediocre but workable, but nothing I would use over a…

Great monitor for the price

The monitor is smooth and there are no problems playing games at 120 fps. The monitor also arrived in excellent condition.

Great price, great performance.

The original monitor had dead pixels and a dull spot, the replacement came two days later, it was very easy to return the defective monitor. The replacement monitor works great. Solid construction, beautiful images, incredibly fast response times and smooth refresh rates. Definitely in the sweet spot of affordability and performance.

Great monitors with high resolution

I don't actually use them for gaming, but I bought about a dozen for workstations. Overall, this is good value for money. A higher resolution maximizes the screen real estate.
