Great gaming monitor

Overall we cannot say anything negative about this monitor. Image and color quality is excellent. No lag (according to my player). I guess you can have it horizontally or vertically

Good monitor for the price

I've been using this monitor for 1440p gaming for a few months now. Great monitor and serves the purpose I need. However, the colors are not calibrated properly and I have a dead pixel on my screen. I don't mind dead pixels, but the colors should at least look decent so I don't have to calibrate them myself to get the right colors. Otherwise a great monitor for 1440p gaming for the price. Also watch the hardware unboxing video for a more detailed overview and manual color calibration.

Nice and cheap

This is probably the best monitor I've bought and it was cheaper than others with similar features. The stand looks a bit cheap, but you never notice it again after assembly.

Great monitor for those who like to play on the monitor.

I bought this monitor to pair with the new Xbox X series. The picture looks perfect and is a big improvement over the TV I used. Vibrant colors and a frame rate of 120Hz at 1440p. HDR is a great version as I have an old 4k TV without HDR. The LED circle behind the computer was a nice surprise and a really cool output.

Contact the seller

I had a problem and tried to contact the seller but never got back. I currently have a dead pixel that I need to fix. HDR isn't evaluated on the monitor, so it's annoying. Overall this is a great purchase for the price. (Removed an asterisk for a contact issue and another for fixing minor issues on a brand new monitor.)

it's ok good for me

The monitor started without any problems. and then the problems with the HDMI and DP connectors began. It kept switching my apps between the two so I decided to disable DP and it kept giving me new problems.

Very good, but there are a few issues UPDATE THIS IS DEAD

UPDATE: This monitor died on me after a few months. The panel started glittering like crazy every time it was turned on. I don't know if this was a one off issue or a widespread one, but I would avoid this monitor right now! This monitor is one of the best 1440p 144hz monitors at this price point, in fact it is one of the few at this price point. It was very comfortable to use. The stand is highly adjustable and the monitor itself is convenient to use. However, there are a few problems. The…

This is probably the cheapest 27" VA 1440p 144Hz monitor on the market. Looks good enough. The ad didn't mention any monitor speakers so be careful. Some flickering issues but overall decent quality for the price.

But works great for games.

I found myself playing and watching all kinds of videos; The monitor works well (after adjustment with the settings), but text, darker colors and small icons seem to suffer from the screen door effect. It's quite noticeable when you're very close to the screen, it looks like horizontal scan lines, I don't know if it's due to a defective device or if it's a problem with the VA panel. Discord is a great example of this effect. After an hour of use you don't notice it too much, overall I would say

Excellent purchase. in my rating

This is literally the perfect gaming monitor. It's a 1440p G-Sync compatible monitor with HDR that costs UNDER $300 and has RGB (not much that makes it perfect). There's really nothing more to say, just buy it. lol

Nice colors but terrible ghosting

Since this is a monitor with a VA panel, the ghosting is more noticeable, but it is quite annoying on this monitor. Other VA panels my friends use have virtually no ghosting, but this one has noticeable ghosting even when I move my mouse across the screen, and it's just annoying with excessive motion blur in games. This monitor would be ideal if the monitor didn't display blurry text and had less ghosting in the event of a dispute. In general, avoid such budget monitors. Features will severely…

Looks good as advertised

Great looking display, it really puts my other 2 monitors to shame. Very bright with good image quality. There are no dead pixels yet, only a month has passed.

Dead pixels from day one

I use this monitor for gaming. Literally a day ago I opened it and already I see a dead pixel. Very disappointed with their quality control. I don't know if I'll get it back or not.

HDR helps with COD - my new review

Great monitor. The perfect dual function for playing and working from home. Super fast delivery A+++ It also works on regular Xbox One with no screen tearing or lag. Also supports newer systems if they fail during the holiday season.

Simply delightful the best in my rating

A great monitor so far. The image quality is fantastic and it handles everything I throw at it. Came much quicker than expected too. The only complaint I have (and that's to be expected at this price point) is that you can't set the rear LED to a fixed color. Definitely recommend this product.

Good for the price in my opinion

You'd be hard pressed to find a better 1440p 144Hz monitor at this price point. However, he has an incurable Halo problem. No matter what overdrive or gsync/freesync setting you use, the black color will be phantom, which is especially noticeable in games. The monitor's HDR mode looks great on normal images, but has a slight yellow cast when you actually enable HDR software in Windows and a gray cast when HDR is enabled in-game.

Almost perfect, but there is a dead pixel

This monitor is near perfect, from picture quality to high refresh rate, but found a dead pixel. It's not very noticeable unless you look very closely, but it's noticeable nonetheless. If you're one of the lucky people with the perfect panel, this is the keeper

Great HDMI monitor for gaming

The fast response and sharp picture is great for gaming. The "black" isn't as deep as I would like (a little "gray"), but that's not a problem for me. The monitor came with a "D" cable, not an HDMI cable, so the HDMI connector had to be ordered separately. This was primarily annoying because it didn't specify what type of cable was included with the monitor.

Xbox Series X in my head

I would not recommend buying this monitor for next generation consoles and running them at 120Hz. The console settings indicate that the monitor does not support 120Hz or HDR.

The 165MHz update is incredible.

You lied about this monitor. I bought it to play and was expecting a 144Mhz upgrade, but to my great surprise it's 165Mhz! Crisp image, buttery smoothness and incredible color gamut!
