Viotek GNV32DBE 32-Inch 2560x1440P Curved Monitor with FreeSync, 165Hz Refresh Rate, and Wall Mount Compatibility Review

Okay, I've had the Viotek 32 inch curved monitor for about a month now and I can honestly say it's a really good monitor for the price. Colors are bright, whites are blind, and it has really deep blacks for a VA monitor. Actually I only have 3 small problems with it. Firstly, the ports are a little tricky to reach as they are on the back of the monitor, meaning you have to place it on the front to get to them, which isn't the case. This isn't the best idea for a curved monitor. Second, the…

5 Stars. but the initial setup was a little tricky and a layman might need to do a little googling to get the color, brightness and contrast right. I had to make a combination of monitor settings changes, in addition to changing the color scheme on the Mac Preferences page. But they end up fitting the 5k iMac screen just fine. My minimum requirements were 27", 2k, 144hz, DP and FreeSync. I needed two additional monitors for my main 27" iMac. They tick all the boxes for the best price on the…

This monitor is very good for its price. This is the cheapest option with such characteristics. Although Viotek advertises a crystal-clear 4ms image, black blurring and some ghosting are noticeable overall. I'm particularly sensitive to these types of issues, and this monitor has a pretty slow pixel response time. However, this has never penalized me, and 99% of the time it looks like the "Ultra Low" option for motion blur is enabled in-game. The image is still fairly sharp, and thanks to the…

I would like to start by saying that I strongly believe in the potential of this monitor. I bought this to replace a small TV for our office that I was using for my PS5. Unfortunately I didn't do enough research on my site. At the moment the PS5 cannot run at 1440p natively as its only options are between 1080p and 4k. My monitor arrived with a dead pixel, but it's barely noticeable in use. It was an easy setup and some games run great at 120Hz. I recommend if you don't mind the reduced 1440p…

Okay for the money this is one of the best 1440p monitors I could buy! I bought the GNV27DB model. Pros: 144Hz (using the included DP cable) Amazing picture quality, no dead pixels detected, great customer support (had a few questions about the product), packaging was top notch (Ace Ventura could supply this monitor and I would definitely agree, lol) Cons - the back cover broke on the first day (the covers where the inputs go are plastic, felt cheap or I was too tight.) After standby, it…

I play games but this was more for day trading so I didn't want to spend too much on a bigger monitor. I also have the previous model from Viotek, gn32dr. As for 2, I like the picture quality and brightness of this model, but the stand is definitely of lower quality. The old model was a tripod that took up a lot of desk space but was RELIABLE. The thing never moved or wobbled. This model is just a stand with two legs and a monitor while the train passes my house. Although it has some movement…

This is a great overall monitor for the price, don't get me wrong. It's great at 144Hz and you hardly notice the curve. But unfortunately I ordered 2 and one of them came with a dead pixel. It's okay because it's in the corner, but I can't currently sell a device with a known defect. Also, these monitors aren't very bright. I set them to maximum brightness with optimal contrast, used the built-in graphics optimizer in Windows, and even manually edited the color correction profile…

So this is the first day. I understand that things can change over time, but I love this monitor right away. Zero dead pixels. Beautiful colors and clarity. Playing Division 2 and switching from my previous 24-inch Asus monitor is just ridiculous. I feel like I'm in the cinema. I'm no expert and I don't have tools to measure things like responsiveness, but I'm sure I didn't notice any ghosting or lag or anything like that. He plays very fluently. When I plugged it in, it defaulted to 2560 x…

Got the monitor in one fell swoop and installation was very easy. True, not even a few days passed ... on the 4th day of use, the right side of the screen went completely black, and the entire screen went black. I came back the next day and the process was very easy. Got a new replacement and it only took a week. I'm giving it 4 stars because it's still a great monitor and a quick replacement is always a plus.

Contrary to the many bad reviews I've seen in many GNV27DB reviews, the GNV27DB2 is a much better option. Since this is also the second generation of this model, it fixes many other problems with the original, especially as far as the display quality is concerned. I used an HDMI 2.0 cable instead of a DisplayPort cable and it still works fine but is limited to 2k at 60fps, although my setup outputs over 2k at 240Hz with no issues. Plus, unlike many others, it actually supports HDR. The…

While I've noticed that many reviews have dead pixels, I'm not one of them yet. While this particular monitor doesn't have all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a high-end panel, it clearly lacks ghosting, which I'm very pleased about. There is some darkening around the edges, but it's not critical and works fine out of the box with my Samsung 4k QLED monitor. Brightness is good, not eye-popping, but not-so-dark in-game colors don't lose too much detail. Keep in mind that this isn't an…

I have had this monitor for over a year now and have no complaints about the quality, functionality or display. For the price you pay this is a wonderful monitor and a huge upgrade from the crappy 1080-60Hz monitor I was previously using. BUT: I bought a VESA monitor stand to free up some desk space as the stand is quite large. Although this monitor is technically compatible with a VESA 75mm mount, the mount base is recessed into the monitor. What does that mean? Well, almost every single VESA…

I have bought several Viotek monitors for myself and others in the past and stand by them. Experimenting with the settings, you can get the color you want. Used for gaming, this is one of the best value for money brands on the market. There is better quality out there, but for the price you can't argue with Viotek.

I just received the monitor last night, my first thoughts weren't very good. The first thing I did after opening the box was aligning the monitor with the bracket. If you remove the back panel do you need to remove the 4 screws which I assume are the brackets? It's not explained well in the instructions but due to their position and the curvature of the monitor you are provided with 4 extension nuts to insert into these slots making it easy to mount the bracket to it and create the required…

When I bought this I wasn't sure how I felt about the curved display. I previously bought a ViewSonic 60Hz 1440p display but it was awful and everything looked blurry so I returned it. I bought it as it was similar in price and at 144hz. It's pretty good, not the best monitor I have color wise but still good enough to be my primary display. 144Hz makes the user interface smoother and more suitable for gaming. Using it alongside flat 60Hz displays works fairly well. I'm used to the flex and…

All is well. Picture quality is good and 144Hz is a noticeable difference. I only have 2 comments. 1. The included stand is MISSING BAD. He always wants to tip forward. Poor design on Band 2. You see the blurring of the LED backlight in general not bad for the money. I'm sure another $300 will fix it lolUpdate: It's been a year now and it's still working great. I just put it on the wall mount and threw away the stand after it fell forward on my head. It took a decent hit in the center of the…

Look I felt like I was going to take a chance buying this thing with all the weird negative reviews I've seen. Although I shouldn't have worried. This thing looks phenomenal and plays incredibly smooth on the Series X. PROS: + The display is great even when set to 1080p and 120Hz. Of course, I used a fairly old (albeit very good) 48-inch Samsung TV at 1080p. would be too big for a desktop setup but perfect in the end. I'm sitting 3-4 feet from the monitor and I can't see a Pixel+ on it. It's…

In general, the monitor works fine for 2 weeks without glitches and dead pixels. When I first got the monitor I had to adjust the color settings a bit as the monitor made many videos and images look very red and greenish. I changed the settings to 39% Red, 43% Green and Blue didn't change to 50%. I've also set the contrast to maximum and the brightness is fine (I change the brightness throughout the day or depending on what games I'm playing). Also, I've been playing on a 4k monitor at 60Hz…

This is a great upgrade over my old 1080-60Hz monitor, so I have no complaints other than that if your desk wobbles a bit, the monitor stand amplifies that a bit. Any impact or vibration of the base causes the monitor to wobble noticeably.

In the last three years I have purchased five of these monitors for myself and my immediate family. No dead pixels, great picture quality and no issues with these monitors so far. You can't beat the features and quality for this price range.
