Is this a perfect gaming monitor? By no means... but if you arent expecting the world and are looking for a GOOD budget monitor for gaming that isnt going to break the bank you cant go wrong. If you are worried about longevity get the squaretrade coverage like I did. Definitely has a high-end look and feel, image is very crisp and clear and the monitor is bright as balls. Very minimal bezel around the display and the controls are accessed via a small joystick/button the back of the monitor which I find to work rather well. It includes HDMI, DVI, and Displayport inputs, as well as audio inputs but Im not using the speakers in mine so I cant comment on the quality. I presume they sound about like $200 monitor speakers would sound so probably not very Bose-esque. There is some visible light leak when the display is on a black screen but honestly this isnt really noticeable when playing games, at least not to me anyway so its not something I care about. Also the LCD panel gets a little darker right at the left and ridge edges about 1/8 inch from the bezel but again not hugely noticeable (see 2nd photo) I have yet to find any dead pixels although as per the manual its only guaranteed that 99.95% of the pixels will function which is strange but okay. I did have some issues with the initial setup. I first connected it with displayport and it kept saying there was no input. Rebooted the PC and monitor and same thing so I switched to a DVI cable (not included) and it worked fine. I tried the DP cable again about an hour later and it worked, no issues since. Dont let negative reviews dissuade you. This is not a bad monitor for the money and something like 3-5% of electronics fail out of the box so all the people saying MY monitor didnt work so theyre all junk!!! are just a bit short-sighted. Also shipping carriers like to throw stuff around so that adds to the DOA numbers Im sure.

This was my first 144hz monitor and I immediately noticed the difference from 60hz. However after only 3 months of use the monitor does not work. Initially I thought it may have been a problem with my video card drivers because the monitor was flashing RGB colors. I disabled my drivers and restarted my computer and it worked fine. However when I went to use it again I had a similar problem. My screen goes blank (color varies depending on the background upon the screen no longer displaying properly) and I am unable to use it. After some research I thought it might be just a problem with the Display Port. However, it did not even work with HDMI either. So now I cant even go into settings and tweak anything that may be necessary. Perhaps this is an issue on my part or maybe it is just a bad product. Either way Ill update if I happen to fix it. EDIT: It turned out the issue was my Graphics card and not the monitor. it gets the job done and I have no real expectations the only issue I have is the it can be hard to unplug and plug in the cables because of the positioning of the ports in the back

This monitor will only display at 240hz if you are using a display port

I was looking for a good screen that would arrive to Alaska unbroken (thats a bigger ask nowadays) and that was curved. I mostly bought it as a desktop screen, but so far I have been using it for watching movies and playing a couple games. Thats where I took one star off; the sound coming from the screen doesnt sound good. So Id recommend some headphones or a speaker to bypass this issue. However, the screen looks great and the stand is really nice - it has a nice, sleek look to it and is very easy to adjust and put together. Overall, for my needs, this is a fantastic product and Im happy about it.

Let me preface this review by saying I am not by any means an e sports gamer nor a hardcore PC fan. Up until last year I gamed on laptops. Gaming is a hobby for me, not a source of income, so my needs may be less than that of a professional streamer. When I first got my gaming PC set up and ready I was so happy with it and loved the improvement from my laptop. I was originally using a 32 inch monitor from Best Buy and I loved it and didnt notice much issue at first. However, as I started playing more and different games I noticed a significant increase in screen tearing, glitching, slow load times, and issues with screen resolution for certain games. I realized after some research that I had bought a freesync monitor not a gsync monitor. Prior to that I had no clue what either of those things really meant. I didnt think it could possibly make much difference what monitor I used, and I thought bigger = better for screen size. I was so, so wrong. After doing some searching I chose this monitor for the value. Once I got it hooked up the difference was apparent *immediately*, even just with simple things like the smoothness of movement for the mouse icon. With games the graphics were immediately clearer, load times were cut to only a few seconds, the screen tearing and stuttering was completely gone, my fps could stay steadier at higher rates, and I no longer had issues with funky text sizes/clarity due to the resolution. This monitor completely changed my pc gaming experience and I couldnt be happier!

Great monitor for gaming, I use it for console and have zero complaints. For anyone who cannot find the power button, its the left most button (of the buttons in the middle) and needs to be held down for 3 seconds.

I went from playing on a 52” tv to this bad boy and it’s night and day in clarity and speed.

I love the curved effect! The colors on this are crisp and vibrant. Very happy with product.

It is a bit big and you can adjust the height by just simply pushing down or pulling up

Thanks
