> 3 dayI have had this monitor for about a week now and I have to say this thing is great. I am using it for ps4 as of right now because I plan to get a pc in the future. Yes I know that 144hz isnt compatible with a console but as of right now this is all I have. Im mostly playing fortnite at the moment but I tested it out on other games and I literally just realized that there is a slight ghosting. Its nothing noticable at all but I was spaced out staring at my character while spinning and I saw like a small shadow or “ghosting” effect coming off his arm. Like i said nothing to worry about as I am guessing this wont happen on 144hz cause its a faster refresh rate and will be a ton smoother. I am just curious if anyone has this issue on theirs as well? This super unoticable ghosting is no reason why you should not get the monitor unless you notice a lot

> 3 dayI’m new to PC’s and recently got my first PC. This monitor works very well, and adjusts pretty easily. Occasionally, it has caused me trouble when it comes to being turned on, but I’ve just had to make sure that my computer is put on sleep mode or shuts down before I leave it. It was easy to assemble for a beginner like me, and the screen looks great. The audio is not the best, seems quieter than you may expect. I haven’t had trouble with gameplay, runs smoothly. Overall, I recommend it!

> 3 dayColor is awesome, runs smoothly. I use it on my laptop for playing Valorant and it runs much better than my screen. I get 150+ fps and 144-165 hz.

> 3 dayIts a pretty solid budget gaming monitor. Its 144hz and theres a very noticeable difference when upgrading from 65hz, so just be sure to adjust your display settings as soon as you set it up. Use the DisplayPort cable that comes wit the monitor, bc HDMI & the others dont support 144hz nearly as well. The height and tilt are fully adjustable, which are pretty good perks for two reasons: 1) The colors can appear washed out from some viewing angles and/or if youre sitting near a window, so tilting it downwards can help immensely, and 2) Using the monitor vertically specifically when programming can make you more efficient. The speakers are just.. not good. Theyre very small and the sound quality is just meh, so plan on using external speakers or headphones bc these just dont suffice. If you still consider buying it, I would personally wait till the price drops to ~$180, which its done frequently over the past few months.

> 3 dayI sold my 60hz ultrawide for this 144 because I had upgraded my pc and thought its stupid to be getting 100FPS+ and only have the monitor show 60. Right away when I plugged it in, even from moving the mouse I could feel and see the difference. This monitor is great and has a lot of settings and allows you to save setting profiles within the monitors software. 24 is massive and the stand easily holds its weight and feels really fluid when adjusting the monitor. The only downside to this monitor is the sound is from 2 tweeters and it sounds like actual garbage. I would def. recommend sticking to your headset/external speakers. They shouldnt even have the speakers in the monitor its a waste!

> 3 dayWorth the buy for the 144hz and G-Sync compatibility it has. Was a great combo with the GTX 1660TI I bought to play games with and NVIDIA announcing G-Sync compatibility to with many other monitors, this being one of them. Picture quality is okay, not the best, but just ok, monitor is very bright, had to lower the brightness so much just to stop it from hurting my eyes. One thing that really annoys me with this monitor, is that it often has problems detecting a video source, the monitor will cycle over and over through the video ports but wont detect anything even if there are things connected. This usually happens when the monitor and or computer goes to sleep. If any of those happen, it will more than likely never pick up the video source again and I have to force shut down the computer to fix it. I have searched online over this issue and it seems to be the monitor and not my GPU. This issue also happens when booting up the computer after the computer has been off(shut down). I have to have the monitor off, turn the computer on, wait to let the computer be in Windows Welcome/Log in screen to finally be able to turn on the monitor safely without having that video source issue. I kinda figured out a trick to know when its ready to turn the monitor back on, and its when my Logitech mouse stops cycling through the RGB colors and is set to 1 color because of the settings i have on it. Once the RGB on the mouse stops cycling, is when I know its at the windows log in screen and its safe to turn on the monitor to avoid the video source cycling issue. This is really annoying to deal with, and am taking a star off because of this. Should be 3 stars because of how annoying it is, but its such a great monitor that Im leaving it with 4 stars. Maybe someone on here has a fix for this issue if others know about it.

> 3 dayAs a disclaimer for this review, I am exploring this from the perspective of a lifetime user of a below average, OEM, 60hz or below monitor. I am by no means the expert authority on displays. - The build quality is noticeably solid and has some weight to it. - The base and arm allow full ergonomic movement in every direction to include up, down, left, right, and full rotations. This is an impressive feature for such an inexpensive monitor. - With all of the negative reviews across the internet damning TN panels for having bad color reproduction, I find it hard to believe we are talking about the same monitor: Not only does this panel have a crisp image and good color reproduction, it is also extremely bright. In addition, I didnt notice any bleeding or dead pixels. - High refresh rate use and gaming is now noticeably better than ever. I cant, and will hopefully never, go back to 60hz. - G-sync compatible for Nvidia users out there. If yourre on the fence about this one, Do yourself a favor and ignore all other offerings at this price point from AOC, Spectre, and those other brands. Ive already done all of the headache and research for you in this regard. The only other monitor Id suggest looking at other than this is the BENQ zowie xl2411p.

> 3 dayId love to show the colors, but the monitor died today at less than 4 months. From what I remember: the colors are washed out and ugly; correcting them takes a bit of effort (and that doesnt guarantee youll ever get the colors right). Brightness is average, I guess. My Asus that was half the price of this looks so much better as far as colors go and brightness. The speakers are... complete garbage. If you like blasting sound out of Apple Earbuds (the ones that come for free with iPhones/iTouches), then these are for you cause thats what it sounds like. You absolutely need headphones or separate speakers for these. As a 144 Hz, it does its job and can go up to 144 Hz. Not much else to say there. My biggest issue is it is a load of crap and mine died within 4 months, and the only thing it did was sit on my desk. If it goes to sleep, it will be unable to receive signal from your PC and is pretty much dead. I managed to get it working again by powering it off, replugging the DP cable, etc., but it just decided to completely die today and wont get signal regardless what I do. Im looking to get it repaired so I can sell it off and buy a quality monitor. I guess I only have myself to blame for trying to cheap out on something as important as a monitor and buying this hunk of crap. As you can see in my picture, there is dust resting on the stand from how little I interacted with it physically. It did not break because I jostled it too much or anything of that sort; left alone it decided to just die. Do yourself a favor and spend a bit more to buy one from a more reputable and quality brand.

> 3 dayThe monitor has 144hz which was my main goal for a monitor but this monitor is G-sync compatible not just a G-sync monitor. Functions exactly like it should but I wish it was advertised as G-sync compatible which is my only issue with this product.
