If all you want is a big display with high refresh rate and freesync, this is a good option. My only complaints is a lack of brightness (doesnt get too bright) and only getting 8-bit display color vs 10 for my old monitor. Very happy with $300 for this compared to $500+ for a high quality option at the same size. Also, the VESA mount isnt centered, which makes mounting it along with other displays harder. However, I am happy that it at least has the option for the mount.

1st things 1st, have been an Amazon customer for more than 15 years and this may be my first review. Why? Because I took a chance on this fairly unknown monitor and wanted to inform future potential buyers. So the first one arrived DOA, no physical damage, just a scrambled screen. Amazon had a replacement in my hands two days later and wow...going from a 24 inch 1080p monitor to this monster was a huge jump. Running 2xGTX970 in SLI and saw about a 20fps hit from 1080 to 1440p (Currently 80fps on BF V High settings). - No dead pixels - Fairly easy set up for anyone with half a brain (instructions are almost worthless) - Used an Ivanksy DP cable as others have said the included one was trash, be careful not to strip the small screws in the stand - 165hz causes some heavy ghosting in text, but not very noticeable in game (BF V), dropped it to 144hz and text is better -Color and contrast is much better than my ASUS VG248QE (TN) - OSD is fine, gets er done - Bezel is small but not the smallest, no gamer type aesthetics (A good thing) I read a bunch of reviews of people with these elite standards (Haters) and as someone who games regularly, works occasionally, this monitor more than serves my purpose. I dont need some response time only a sensor can recognize or professional colors that I would never notice.So after only 3 days it seems like a real win. I will update this review if I have any issues in the future.

Windows 10 inherently has scaling issue when you have a big sized monitor/high resolution like this one in a multi-monitor setup. My text and overall windows toolbar/apps text were blurry and shadowed, fiddling Windows cleartype settings didnt do much, not even the scaling to beyond 100%. I had to apply the registry hack (also there is a tool that does the job i.e. Windows 10 DPI fix ) and after that, the monitor and windows 10 danced together nicely. Texts are sharp and clear, toolbar menu is all nice as it should be. This is not this monitors fault evidently. For normal desktop use, you wont find it much different than your regular office monitor but its when you are gaming, thats when it shines gloriously. Gears 5 is much more vivid that before on my old LG monitor. The only thing Im missing on this monitor is the ability to tilt and swivel. That is a basic necessity these days for a monitor, I hope the manufacturer will incorporate this in their future models. Overall happy with my purchase. Now back to my Gears 5 mission. :)

Used as a temporary monitor between omen 1080 to 1440 monitors and well worth the money. Monitor has great option features like crosshair built in, different color settings and presets and plenty of hdmi and dp ports to plug all your gaming consoles into one. Would be one of my go to monitors for 1080. Also always remember to go into the settings and manually set to monitors optimal htz level. It defaults to 60htz for every pc. Don’t hesitate to buy!

It’s a monitor but, the stand is non adjustable and it sucks.

I liked how easy this monitor was to set up and great quality picture for my Xbox One S. Overall amazing monitor!

Its a really nice monitor with some minor flaws. It has a bright and colorful panel. I like how nice the image looks and the colors pop, and while I can sometimes see some slight smearing and ghosting in dark scenes of certain games and movies its not a deal breaker. I read online there are better, more expensive options but for my budget I am very pleased. Heres hoping that it will provide many years of use. The only quirk I encountered was learning how to bring up the OSD menu when changing video sources. If you only hook one device youll never have to deal with this, but if you do then switching sources is not as straightforward as it should be. It is also somewhat confusing should the monitor fall asleep. Just remember to leave the input selection settings on Auto Select and to press UP on the control stick to invoke the source selection menu. The monitor I got appears to have the latest firmware, which uses an updated (smaller) menu. I can activate Freesync in all refresh frequencies (including 165Khz), which I heard from online video reviews was not possible in earlier firmare versions. Now that I had the monitor for a while Ive settled down to lowering the brightness a little bit from its default setting. The high refresh rate is a treat but what won me over was the next step in resolution. I am really digging 1440p at 32 inches. Love the extra real state on my desktop. 2K, 4K, and 1440p or higher streaming content on youtube and Netflix shines on this monitor. If you can grab one go for it. You wont be disappointed.

Ok so the first thing I want to get out of the way is, the monitor has to be tweaked a bit when first using it out of the box. You can use it right away out of the box no problem but you probably want to fidget a bit with the settings because text looks a little blurry and if you have a Freesync compatible GPU then obviously you want to enable that. Also you have to manually set the refresh rate to 144Hz in the display settings but I think you have to do this with all monitors. Anyways for the most part, this monitor definitely has a good price to performance. Being a highschooler that has no job and in this crazy year of 2020, I was still able to afford it.

Not only was this item a fair price for what you get, it was easy to put together and start using. Great quality! Teenage gamer approved LOL

Although this is my first gaming monitor its of really good quality. The build itself is sturdy and doesnt seem cheap. Has a great tilt and good image quality. The only issues I have is that the volume control is kinda bad. There isnt dedicated buttons, you have to go into the settings to change it. Once you change it the lowest it can go is still somewhat loud and any lower and the sound turns off. Although it really isnt an issue for me because most of the time I use headphones. The product is great with a bright screen and sharp looking image.
