Review on Upgrade Your Display with Viotek GFV27DAB: 165Hz Widescreen with Adaptive Sync and High Definition by Joseph Hills

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Ok, but backlight and brightness 😬

Let's start with a great budget monitor. The monitor supports consoles (Xbox at least), which is great for gaming at 120 fps at 1440p. I also use it with my computer which works just as well. My only issues are backlight bleeding and brightness. Backlight bleeding is terrible when the monitor is dark and appears dim. Having all my lights off is fine, but in a lighted room it can be quite noticeable. In addition, the menus are easy to navigate, the 1440p resolution at 144Hz, the warranty (3 years) and the colors are surprisingly decent for a VA panel. This is great if you want the best of both worlds, high resolution and high frequency, but you can find a great monitor with an ips 1080p 144Hz panel for around the same price and it will probably look better. In any case, I recommend this monitor, despite its shortcomings, a good buy!, 8/10
