The controls are on the back

Good monitor except when using two monitors side by side. Good! You can't get to the controls with the controls on the back.

Great product ruined by Revain.

This stunning monitor cost $179.99. I bought mine at the Microcenter. But first I tried to buy from Revain and it was a huge waste of time. The box of product was almost half gone and wrapped in duct tape. It was obviously a return. The way something like this was sold as new straight from Revain is ridiculously bad. And at the time of this writing 01/24/21, I see that this monitor is being sold direct by Revain for $420.97. more garbage.

Great budget gaming monitor

So far, so good. The image quality is excellent for gaming. The bevel at the edge is tiny and works well for multi-monitor setups.

Great performance from home monitors

I bought 2 because it was time to upgrade my cheap monitors for working from home. Very happy with it. Easy setup with great picture quality and a very good dual monitor setup.

Works perfectly! to my rating.

I managed to snag one from stock at the original price (>$200) and I love it! Colors are rich and vibrant, which is a huge improvement over using a laptop. Many settings to adjust the brightness of the monitor. The built-in speakers are decent if you don't have them, but I highly recommend getting a pair for better sound quality.

GREAT monitor! - my new rating

This is a huge upgrade from the 24 inch screen I had previously. The image quality is amazing with some tweaks. For the price, it's worth it even at 1080P/FHD resolution. :)

Simply the best 1080p monitor on the market

Ok, misleading title. There are the best 1080p monitors in the world. But for THIS price with THIS range of functions, there is nothing better. Gorgeous colors, great customization options, and amazing control over every element of what this monitor has to offer. And yes, although NVidia hasn't confirmed it, it's 100% G-Sync compatible.

date of birth and marriage

I ordered this monitor from production at the end of August and it was supposed to be delivered on October 7th. Instead they shipped it to California (I'm across the country in Maryland) so I had to wait another 2 weeks. I opened it up only to find that after plugging it in, there was screen damage in the top left and a dead pixel in the top right.

Great monitor for the price.

I was surprised how cheap it is. I originally bought a Dell monitor for $500 and looking around now it seems monitor prices have come down drastically. However, this monitor is good for its price. I'm sure you'll find better deals during Black Friday, but I'm very happy with this monitor.

LATEST TECHNOLOGIES: my review

It's a little more expensive, but should last me for a while. I had a pair of 27" ViewSonic 60Hz monitors that I bought in 2009. They appear to be the improved equivalent. No complaints, just glad I bought them on Revain's prime deal as the latest model has more than doubled in price in the last year. 12 years old.

The best monitor for the price

Very well built and easy to assemble, much easier than other monitors. The options and image quality are amazing. And it costs less than some monitors in the same price range that are much worse.

Assembly problem in my review.

I didn't know how to rate this because it became inoperable the moment I tried to mount it, so just based on that experience I'll consider loosening the screws to screw on the mounting plate and when I tried to screw them back on the bracket. Points totally went under in rendering this monitor unusable. All but 1 stayed. I have requested a replacement, I hope the seller will work with me. UPDATE: The return process was easy and not complicated at all. Printed out a return label and sent it back

Amazing product.

I love my monitor, it's fantastic. Everything works great except for the speakers. I had to buy a speaker because it's not as loud as I would like.

Great monitor for the price.

In earnest. 1080p gaming on a great panel is affordable. Just not here. don't buy this on amazon. That monitor, the Viewsonic XG2405, costs $179. Go to the Best Buy website and shop there. I don't know how to contact Amazon to let them know their listing is wrong so I did.

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Smooth, rich color, slightly darker, but it's a godsend.

After adjusting the settings from 60 fps to 120 fps, it feels like a whole new game. I play 6 of the 20 games I have installed on a daily basis. Use 2 to get killed by others at 120fps. No longer. Deadly as hell. Soft as silk. Worth buying even at full price. I just couldn't give the brightness the highest rating because I can't match the brightness of my three other 32" HDTVs or my 53" but that's not all because you have a good chance of turning your monitor around while you work 100 to burn…

good monitor Good sound.

I wanted an all-in-one monitor - including sound. It is, but the sound is weak. If gaming is important to you, don't rely on the sound of this monitor to make your purchasing decision.

I love this monitor

I have been using View Sonic monitors for a long time and bought this to replace one of my 24 60hz Viewsonic monitors and all I can say is WOW! The quality is excellent and worth the money! Blacks are black, not washed out grey. I just love this monitor! I recently purchased a 2k curved gaming monitor from MSI and still prefer this to the other, the picture quality is much better.

Great monitor in my opinion

I love everything about this monitor. I've had it for almost 4 months now and use it an average of 10-16 hours a day. The picture is perfect, the size is perfect and the price is right. What else is there to say.

Don't take this monitor, it's a problem

The monitor arrived in perfect condition, connected perfectly, but this monitor has signal problems. I rolled back the updated GPU drivers and all that still says is no signal. Also, the menus suck, the buttons suck, and in general it just gave me trouble. Monitor quality is great, brightness is great, it's just an annoying no signal problem. I received this recently, about 4 days ago by the way, and I might consider returning it.

Great monitor but Revain is overpriced at 211.00.

This monitor can be purchased direct from Viewsonic for $188.99. The only reason it's 399.99 is because they're sold out everywhere and Revane cornered the market and bumped the price. This is an excellent monitor. I bought mine directly from Viewsonic and I love it. wait greed Get it when Viewsonic catches up with you. If you're shelling out $400 for a 24-inch monitor, there are many better deals in this price range. It's a great monitor, but certainly not a $400.00 monitor.
