Definitely the best upgrade for my PC I've ever bought.

Okay, I should start my review by saying that the purchasing decision was based on numerous factors that required careful consideration. 1.) I wanted G-Sync. 2.) I wanted the excellent color quality I can get from an IPS monitor. .3.) I wanted it to be bigger than my 22 inch screen which I've been using since 2004. 4.) I wanted to be able to calibrate it to do small amateur jobs in Photoshop, video editing and motion graphics when I feel the need. There are many monitors these days, but not all

Great game/movie monitor

Right now, 2560 x 1440p (aka "2k") monitors are in a good position if you're looking to upgrade from a 1080p monitor. Graphics cards are powerful enough to support 2k monitors, but still struggle with 4k (i.e. trying to hit 60+ FPS in current games). Also, at the time of writing this review, you can get a 2k monitor running at 144/165Hz, while 4k currently doesn't. Some of them fit without a high refresh rate, but I appreciate the advancement in refresh rate technology. In terms of specs, this…

1 year later: still a fantastic monitor

I've been using it as my primary monitor for a little over a year and so far it's been fantastic. If you want the color clarity of an IPS panel with a response time of just 4ms, then this monitor is a good choice. Ideal for those who do both gaming and video/editing. Pros: IPS is great for photo/video editing. The colors are bright and clear. The 144Hz refresh and 4ms response time are great for gaming. Oil is smooth - gsync is a plus, although 144Hz makes gsync almost unnecessary - no dead…

  • Limited response time

10/10! First of all, this is not my first monitor. I have always liked high-end panels, even before I started gaming on the PC, I always did extensive research and bought a TV with the best possible picture quality. Other than that, this monitor is absolutely incredible in terms of picture quality -165Hz -GSync -build quality -screen size -color accuracy -panel brightness -built-in features -PQ The picture quality is incredible. The IPS display speaks for itself as soon as you turn it on. It's…

Good choice for high-end gaming

I don't do many customer reviews for the Revain, but if you're considering buying this product, you're probably doing a lot of research on this monitor and similar options, and for this model especially, there really aren't many. still there. I wanted to share my thoughts after a few days of ownership, I hope they help you make an informed decision. If you're looking at this monitor you've probably also considered the XB270HU and PG279Q - it's really just those three on the market currently…
