Excellent monitor, the best in my rating

It's the perfect monitor if you're gaming on PS5 or the new X series, and it delivers 120fps on those consoles for half the price of Alienware. Excellent purchase.

The perfect monitor for gaming

The best price x quality you can get. I've been using this monitor for a few months now and I'm very happy with what I got! Poor Contrast: If the black levels and white levels are not set correctly, the display may look washed out or too dark..

Great monitor for the price, colors could be better

The monitor is excellent, no ghosting on me yet. The menu is very simple and easy to navigate, with detailed descriptions for each so you know exactly what you're changing. Colors are a bit dull and standard whites are a bit greyish but you can easily fix that with profiles and just tweak the settings to your liking but this is a TN panel so colors aren't as vibrant but compared to others TNs this one has one of the best to date. If you want a good, reliable 144Hz monitor and don't want to…

This monitor is amazing.

I got this monitor because I upgraded my entire setup. I'm almost done building my PC so I used this monitor on my previous 1050 ti computer. Despite the old 1050 ti, I can still run up to 300 frames in VALORANT on low settings. 144Hz is so smooth and a huge upgrade over the previous 60Hz. Colors are also amazing for a TN panel and viewing angles are good too. I don't like a lot of presets so I'll just stick with the FPS preset because it looks the best. Navigating the menu is very easy. At…

Excellent value for money all round.

Likes: Great price, great value, no dead pixels, easy setup. Only a small minus, it is difficult with color balancing. It seemed to have a gamma that was too low and a green that was too bright out of the box. It took me a bit of testing and trial and error to get it balanced. It was once a hard stone.

So far, so good! Used for PS4 games

So far, so good! My son seems to like it. He plays on PS4 and chose this monitor when he gets PS5. It has an HDMI cable which was very expensive ($160 IMO) so I'm not sure if that's a quality factor for the monitor. I'm not a gamer lol.

Disappointed but not surprised.

One day and it was a mistake. I wish I'd bought this and spent just a little more for a monitor that's really worth it. I do a lot of graphic work and I really should have known better than to get into it. Damn bad picture quality. Nothing to say.

The best monitor in my rating

That's so pleasant! Mom gave me a present for my birthday! The quality is excellent! Big upgrade for my old 2010 monitor!

  • Bad image sharpness

Great monitor, I like it but I can only set it to 120hz not 144hz. A bit disappointing but other than that it's GREAT for gaming, has good settings for gaming and even settings for the crosshair on screen when you like shooters.

Works well to run HDMI at 144Hz

I can get it to work at 144Hz over HDMI, but it doesn't run at 1ms on HDMI. I think you need a display port cable to get 1ms like I got it to work at 144Hz over HDMI. I have the latest drivers for my gpu or apu, then i enable freesync on my desktop, then i enable it in my game in the amd menu, then i enable basic freesync in the monitor menu and boom, it runs at 144hz but gets none 1ms over hdmi so not sure, another point I would like to highlight is that I've been testing this for less than a…
