Buy a monitor stand

The overall quality of the screen is amazing for the price, and the 24-inch size is perfect for my smaller desktop. However, the included kickstand wobbles very easily and can wobble even while typing.

Great monitor for color/art work - no speakers

I have a Pbiip which is a 144hz monitor and I'll let you know if you are considering buying it, regardless of what other reviews or the website say there are NO speakers on this model. The 75 Hz model has speakers, the 144 Hz model does not. Hope that helps!

Does the job - my new review

I bought this monitor because my other one was starting to fail. Let me start with the status; It's not adjustable so you're stuck at a pretty ergonomically uncomfortable height, but I was able to solve this by reusing my old monitor's stand as it was mounted with a VESA mount. Image quality is pretty good, especially after I calibrated it with a calibration tool. My main gripe is this: to take advantage of the 1ms response time, you have to turn on VRB, which reduces the brightness…

8/10 Honestly not a bad monitor

I really have nothing to complain about except that I had to turn on the maximum brightness setting, everything else is fine so far.

Great IPS monitor for my needs.

The monitor is great for IPS at 240Hz. Slightly noticeable motion blur on fast mouse movements in FPS games like Escape from Tarkov, but again not bad for IPS. Not as fast as a 144Hz or 240Hz TN panel, but good enough for gaming. The brightness of this monitor is excellent. I'm a casual gamer, not a pro. The only downside to the monitor is the location of the power switch on the monitor. You have to press the button underneath to make adjustments and it sits too close. I turn off the monitor…

Good monitor.: my rating

From the modernist crimson stand to the back of the monitor, this thing looks great! The matte screen with anti-reflective coating is also a nice touch. The strange experience I've had is that my computer recognizes that this monitor can go up to 165Hz even though its description here only says 144Hz. And that's using an HDMI cable. Also, the screen is frameless, but the image itself stops where the frame would start anyway. Not a big deal considering how good the rest of the monitor is, but I…

Suitable for current generation consoles

The picture of it is great. I don't know if it was my settings or compatibility issues, but on the PS4 the image kept reverting to lower brightness and darker colors. However, I don't have this problem on the PS5. Otherwise, the image is pin-sharp, the refresh rate is stable, and the monitor itself looks good on a desk.

How to increase Hz?

I bought a 165Hz 0.5ms VG240Y but when I plugged in my PS5 and looked through the settings I couldn't find a way to get the claimed 165Hz. Otherwise, the monitor is very good for its price.

Amazing IPS monitor but the stand could be better

I wanted a 24-inch 144Hz IPS monitor for gaming and coding, and this monitor definitely does both well. Colors are accurate, viewing angles are great, and with 144Hz, everything feels smoother even when you're not gaming. The only thing I wish for was a better stand. The stand takes up a lot of space, it cannot be raised/lowered or rotated - only tilted. However, the monitor is VESA mountable, so another option if you don't want to use a stand. Also, I haven't noticed any issues with the…

Very nice with a few quirks

I am very happy with the monitors, when I use them 144Hz looks really good on them. There are several errors I've encountered. First, the monitor buttons are on the back. It's not that big of a deal, but reaching for the back to turn them on and off is a little annoying. Second, every time I turn off the monitors, my desktop configuration changes and loses signal. This problem only occurs with these monitors and not with others that I have used in the past.

24 inch 144 Hz is not bad

Updating to 60Hz I tried using a dual screen but I need a different cable, there is clearly a difference in detail and smoothness in games. There are no speakers, I hope it will last a long time.

Good monitor, only lasted a year and a half.

This monitor was great, I bought two of these and have been setting them up since I've had them. Regular use since October 2020 and last week one of the monitors just got up and started to fail. I haven't moved it, touched it, or done anything that would obviously cause it. The monitor just started going crazy and then the whole screen went black and discolored. There were no power surges or anything like that. The problem was entirely related to this monitor. So is this a good monitor…
