not as good as i thought

The monitor is decent but I'm having trouble getting good settings for the monitor. Freesync flickers badly, the monitor sometimes glitches and reboots. the response time of the va panel is actually not that good and i noticed the input lag of 1ms on a tn 1080p 75hz panel. Overall I'm not happy with this monitor but I threw the box away so I think I'll stick with it.

Nice curved monitor.

Nice monitor, small for a gaming monitor but a huge improvement over my laptop. Used with a custom PC. So far very satisfied (1 month).

Terrible for games

Too bad I didn't know what a VA monitor was before I got this one. The ghosting is awful on this one, no amount of setting change will fix it. I ended up buying a TN at half price and it has stayed with me ever since. Never buy a VA if you plan to watch something with fast camera movements.

It's great quality for this price

In short, for me everything about this monitor shines, I was able to gsync via freesync without any problems, 165 Hz and refresh are excellent! The built-in ultra-high resolution setting was a game changer - it was much easier than manually changing sharpness settings in-game or using g-experience.

Good 1440 gaming monitor.

It's a good price for a budget monitor, but it's very comfortable and my games look great with 1070, 1440 and 165MHz GPUs. You don't have to spend billions of dollars on a GPU and a 4K monitor, it's fine. New with curve and I like it better than flat for gaming

Good multifunction monitor.

The best multi-purpose monitor for gaming and media consumption. The black color is black and the backlight is very minimal. The on-screen menu is very convenient. I like the curve, very exciting. I changed the Gamma setting to "4" and the Overdrive setting to "Balanced" as I've heard that would help with ghosting. So far I can play normal fps. It's not the fastest panel, but I'm very satisfied.

Best dollar for dollar value.

Incredible value. Excellent picture quality, especially for games. The only downside: The stand adjustment is very limited and the flex can take some getting used to. I highly recommend this monitor.

Great budget 1440p monitor

I wanted to get the G7 Odyssey but when I went to buy it it was sold out by November. I didn't feel like waiting so I bought it and I think it's pretty good considering how cheap it was, although HDR isn't the best.

Great monitor. Not a very good delivery of my Revain.

Great monitor but I asked for it to be sent in Revain packaging and Revain did not honor my request and sent it in the original packaging. Very disappointed.

I had to go back - my new review

I don't know what the problem is, but it worked for a few minutes. I was able to check the nvdia control panel and display settings but nothing. The monitor was turned off and would not turn on. I unplugged the power cord and plugged it into a different outlet. Nothing worked so I had to send it back.

It's great for the price

good - very clear picture, the colors are so good and no gradient, very bright, correct some details of the picture and voila, basically factory, it's almost perfect, i use it for xbox one x in 1440p 120hz, and on the pc 1440p 165hz gtx1070.

Great monitor with some features

This monitor is great for its price. FSU Bc is a bit questionable Bc, if your frame rate is too low you will experience flickering. When gsync is off, the monitor works fine. This is because it is not gsync certified. However, for a 1440p 165Hz monitor I can't complain and am happy with my purchase.

Very nice: my review

I waited a few months before posting a review. I was very happy with this monitor. Brightness is good, black tones are decent, response times are good. A very high quality gaming monitor for the price. Will buy a few more.

Fantastic, but not HDR capable

Pros: It's cheap, has good visual clarity, minimal ghosting after turning off overdrive, and just enough curvature to be useful. Cons: HDR. The HDR readiness rating is ridiculous. The display cannot offer enough brightness to support HDR. Nevertheless, this monitor is worth its money in this price range.

The quality of the monitor suits me

Great gaming monitor! Although the only downside in my opinion is that the quality of the display could have been better, it was an overall good monitor which I owned for 3 days until the screen gave me dead pixels lol at least

Very good update: my review

I bought this new monitor to replace my old 1080p panel, the picture quality is great, the contrast is great too. The only downside is the 1 dead pixel in the top right corner, but it's barely noticeable, and the ghosting you would expect from VA panels. But overall I am very satisfied.

great monitor except

I like everything about the monitor, but there are a few dead pixels, one right in the middle. so ideally located at the right dead center. This is very annoying.
