The pictures are so clear!

The monitor is larger than expected. The clarity of the images, whether in games or photos, is incredible. Now I need to see things on other monitors!

Really good brightness.

Brightness, picture quality and games look really good. I haven't fully tested it in games, just checked with a game test. Looks a little better than my old monitor. Does what I need so I have no complaints.

It's 144 Hz, don't listen to those who don't understand.

When using a displayport it's 144hz. Other than that I love this monitor, it's a great monitor and I haven't had any issues with it since I bought it. I will buy another one for dual display. See screenshot for proof.

Works great up to the stop

I've had this monitor for about 7 months and it has worked great for that time. Was very responsive, had good but not great image quality, and was generally pretty satisfactory. And one morning I suddenly turned it on and the picture became absolutely horrible. Colors washed out and no adjustments to the monitor itself fixed the issue. I contacted Viotek's support via their website (about 3 weeks ago at the time of writing this review) and still haven't received a response from them. I went…

Cheap looking but good performance.

Here's a pretty good value. The screen is definitely a contender for 144Hz 1440p, but the picture looks a bit washed out when not playing. The RGB on the back is a waste of time and could potentially save on price without it. The stand is good but I use a monitor stand. It's cheap and looks, but if you're just buying for the screen, it's pretty good for the budget.

THIS IS A 100% FACT SHOWING REVIEW

This is to clarify anything and anyone who says otherwise. This monitor is intended for general computer stuff or as a monitor for your live chats. That's all! I used Xbox One x AND S series on this screen and it's not good. Negroes are everywhere. The color settings need to be expanded so that they can be used everywhere with the right colors. I don't recommend anything for gaming at all. I liked some of the features, yes, and I'm one of those guys who tries to experiment with things. Or look…

Perfect for my use, the best in my rating

The screen resolution is perfect for me and meets my needs. I still have my old 1080/60Hz monitor and the range difference is incredible. I contacted the manufacturer to see if they provide monitor device drivers. It was mentioned that they don't provide a named device driver for their monitor, so you get a generic monitor in the devices section. games. BF1 Bf5 TitanFall all places are very nice. For me it was a nice upgrade from what I had. The only problem is that I regret not having bought…

You get what you pay for.

A 27-inch 1440p 144Hz monitor for $299 sounds like a bargain. Note, however, that even after diving into the settings, I found the color accuracy of this monitor to be very poor. The first one I got had a dead pixel so I returned it, got another one and it ALSO had a dead pixel. I'm not blaming you for dead pixels, but I'm probably keeping in mind that you can also run into quality assurance issues. After the second return I just decided to spend the extra money on a higher quality monitor, the

Good monitor but you need to change the settings out of the box

It's a good monitor, but you need to adjust the settings right away. I recommend looking for good settings, but every monitor is different.

Not what I ordered is good for me

It's 144Hz, not 165Hz. It has 2 HDMI ports and only 1 DP port. Doesn't even support 120Hz. Wouldn't buy! That's my review!

Blown out after 6 months of use. Terrible color accuracy.

I have had this monitor for 8 months and it has already burned MOJOR. So much so that I don't even want to use it anymore. If you buy it, expect to spend hours trying to get the colors closer to normal. You have to look straight ahead or it will have a horrible color transition to a green tint. So disappointed. I got acceptable colors and eventually got past the viewing angle, but got stuck with burn-in after a few months. :'(
