    Fantastic entry level monitor for 1440p gaming. Bought from a review from @PCBuilderChannel on YouTube.

    Upgraded to this from my samsung 27” curved monitor and it was worth it after playing around with the settings I was able to get the the picture to where i liked it. The monitor stand itself has the slightest horizontal tilt to it which bugs me a little bit when im not locked in while gaming but its worth the pick up if its on sale and you need a new monitor.

    Was kind of nervous after realizing there were 2 different panel manufacturers and receiving the less desirable of the two(BIM model) but holy crap this thing is crisp. No bright spots, even coloring, and man is gaming on it smooth. Well worth the money spent!

    product arrived without any imperfections, no dead pixels, and thankfully I got the version with an LG panel, not the lower quality one that i think its a chinese brand called obe or obo or whatever. Im so happy with this monitor!

    This is a good monitor and especially at the current price point and will definitely work for some but I received the BOE panel twice in a row and even after being reassured by Amazon customer service that I will get the LG one after the initial return, my second monitor was also the BOE variation of the panel. It really sucks that they would put out a product that is basically a gamble and a ton of wasted time and money (in my case at least). I tested it and the colors on it look horrendous. I installed a ICC profile that shouldve fixed the color issue and played around with OSD settings a lot as well as followed instructions by youtubers and others on the internet but could not make the screen look any better. I have to say thou, if you are going to exclusively use this for gaming, it might be worth the shot because I played a few matches of PUBG on it and it looked quite good with the 1444p resolution and high refresh rate. Its hard to say no for this price but I am returning it for the second time and will be getting a mid-range priced monitor to avoid any more headaches. This probably used to be a great monitor back in the day when more LG panels were available but HP decide to cut corners and started making a lot more with the BOE panel apparently, its hard to get the LG panel nowadays it seems.

    I got this from the Treasure Truck deal. Under $190 shipped for a 165Hz 1440p IPS monitor. The first one I got from this deal had a defect in the top right corner of the panel that was only visible from certain angles. Seemed to be a deformity in the panel itself. I returned it for another one which is perfect. Its an excellent monitor that I was lucky enough to snag for under $190 all said and done. As with any other monitor HDR 400 is kind of a joke and looks worse than standard range. Leave it disabled. Had no problems running it at 165Hz over the included Display Port cable. AMD Freesync Premium was enabled by default. The colors are not the best out of the box, but are easily corrected with the OSD. Theres a couple of presets which are okay, but I prefer the custom RGB option to set to my liking. You can also use custom color profiles as well. The backlight is bright. This one has no issues with deformities or light bleed. It looks great. Slight color banding even after calibrating, but not worth trying to return again. No dead or stuck pixels. No flickering issues. I missed it the first time it was a Treasure Truck deal, but got lucky and snagged it the second time. If it comes back up again I will certainly get another one and you should too. For that price you really cant beat it.

    I bought this on sale with pretty high hopes, due to the largely very positive reviews. Im mostly satisfied with it for the price I paid. -Colors are vibrant and overall pretty good, despite not using the nano-ips backlight like some other monitors that contain the same LG panel within. -I like the looks of it; simple, somewhat classy/elegant and understated (not a flamboyant gaming monitor look. -No dead pixels -Performs well when playing games Two things preventing me from giving it 5 stars: -Some bothersome IPS glow, much more prominent on one side than the other. Backlight bleed from edges was quite minimal and perfectly acceptable, but the glow on black screens is very bothersome during loading screens or very dark scenes. I dont game on PC much and never watch movies on the computer, so I decided not to return. -The blue light reduction coating is something I dont like. Yes, you can apply ICC profiles (which I did) and tune the color a bit from there, but I felt like I could only get it a tad too warm, and a tad too cool, and couldnt achieve truly neutral whites I wanted. Its close enough for me I guess, so again, I didnt return. It sounds like I just got a less than stellar draw in the panel lottery, so I wouldnt let that dissuade you. Its an okay monitor for the price, but I think Ill definitely try something else when Im ready for a second 27 to replace my ancient 22 for a dual setup.

    Lets go straight to the point. Pros: -165Hz (Display Cable only). -Good picture quality. - Good color Vivid. -1440p resolution. -27inch is prefect size for gaming. Con: - Colours out of the box is not great. You need to change or customize it to get the best out of it. -Everytime you touch the HDMI or display cable it turns off the screen and it comes back up again. -Theres a little dull color area in the right side of the monitor. its very small and you dont really notice it when you are watching movies and playing games. -Also I one dead pixel (Not too bad)

    For the price I paid of roughly 150 dollars you cant do better.

    Only thing I didnt really like is that the colors were a bit inaccurate out of the box, used some software and got a proper color profile on it and its amazing.

All play, every day. We"ve redefined high definition gaming with IPS technology, 165Hz, 1ms response, AMD FreeSync™ Premium, and more colors than ever before.
