Worst screen: my rating

Very bad screen, came out broken, it has 5 buttons and 2 of them didn't work when I turned it on. It's a shame when you're trying to buy something good, but it turns out to be crap. Do not be fooled!

Bought two, returned two

The first one had dead pixels in the top right corner, I returned it and ordered another one. The second came and it dimmed when I turned my monitor off and then on again, also the image was blurry. Tried different solutions, didn't help. Having had experience with two monitors out of the box, I'm looking at other brands for a 165Hz monitor.

Good for the price in my opinion

It's really good for video games, but you have to adjust the screen colors because it's a bit boring at first time. The sound quality is terrible.

Picture quality is nice!

This monitor is so good. I went from 43 on TV to this one and it's a lot better. The picture is so soft and beautiful! That's my review.

Definitely the best monitor I've ever used!

For a sub-$200 monitor, it's great for gaming or whatever task you throw at it. The 165 refresh rate is definitely a game changer!

It doesn't get any better for the price and features

165 Hz, 1 ms, on a smaller screen = ideal for small installations. No problems so far, but note that the power chord is very cheap and doesn't require much plucking. Also the speakers are sooooo bad lol really bad but were we really expecting Bose sound for this price point? nope

Defect x2 (and wait for the third)

Wow! I just love my 25" 165Hz Zepter monitor. My favorite part is that the two monitors I ordered were defective! The first came with red vertical stripes running across the screen. Screw in (there was no second) and got using my own supplied screwdriver to pull it off. The package was also missing a few key parts (I didn't realize until the replacement arrived. Luckily the four mounting screws fit the base too. I was disappointed when I turned it on but the refresh rate is great I called the…

It's still kicking months later!

Someone bought me a gaming PC for Christmas and my monitor wouldn't let me connect this new PC to it! My stuff was OLD. In any case it was great! There are different connectors for each cable you want to use! That sold me. I knew something would work!

So far so good.: my rating

This is my first gaming PC and so far I'm very impressed with how easy it was to set up and get going. I feel like I got a lot of value for my money. Not only did it come with a keyboard and mouse, but it also came with a highly acclaimed and recommended graphics card. I can't wait to dive into the games and see what this PC has to offer!

Amazing for the price.

You name it, this monitor is top notch. It's a lot brighter than other monitors I've had, but I love it. Everything in it is wonderful. In my opinion the best you can buy for 200€.
