> 24 hourBought 2 of these monitors in February. WHen I first plugged them in and got all my color settings adjusted, I was beyond impressed. The display qualities were phenomenal. Then I had them less than a month and once in a blue moon, and on random occasions, they would turn off. Sometimes they would just flicker, sometimes they would turn off completely. I live-stream professionally and this would happen during my live-streams, which in turn would cause my OBS to glitch and shut off streaming AND recording modes. This became more and more frequently and I was beginning to wonder if it was my video card, or the PSU on my PC, or the driver corruption issue from Corsairs iCue to Nvidia thats been happening for years now. When it first started happening, it was infrequent that I didnt bother with it much. Then it started to increase in frequency AND in severity. It would get to a point the monitors wouldnt even turn on anymore. By the time I figured out it was the monitors themselves, I was well past the return window. Like others have commented, the customer support drags their feet for over a month and then tells you the cost of repairs are far more than the purchase price of their monitor brand new. This is under their warranty. I was hoping this would be a great purchase and had high hopes for these monitors, but all they are now is just rubble in a trash heap somewhere, which is still worth more than the value of these monitors. I initially purchased 2 32 versions of these, but finally replaced them with 2 32 MSI Optix MAG322CQR, which funny enough is only about $30 more than these and, of course for MSI, is about the highest quality monitors on the market............and they actually last

> 24 hourI bought this monitor for my first gaming setup to get 120fps out of my Xbox Series X. Its a great monitor just beware a couple things: 1. This monitor does NOT have sound...it has a 5.5mm headphone jack for speakers to provide you with sound (most GAMING MONITORS are like this so dont leave a bad review because of it) 2. All the ports are on the very bottom of the monitor so you have to lay the monitor on its back or have it picked up to see the port you need, making it difficult to quickly unplug and plug different things in. overall its a great monitor with great picture and at such a nice price you really cannot go wrong with this.

> 24 hourLook, I felt like I was taking a risk buying this thing with all the weird negative reviews I was seeing. I shouldnt have worried, though. This thing looks looks phenomenal and plays incredibly smooth on the Series X. PROS: + The display, even when set to 1080p and 120hz, is gorgeous. Granted, I was coming from a fairly old (albeit very nice) Samsung 1080p 48 inch TV. + In comparison to my old display, there is little to no input lag and movement (thanks to that frame rate) looks ultra smooth. + I thought 32 inches would be too big for a desk setup but it ended up being perfect. I sit maybe 3-4 feet off the monitor and there isnt a pixel to be seen. + It is more vibrant in color than I thought it would be. I had no idea The Outer Worlds or Assassins Creed Odyssey could look so good. + It doesnt feel cheaply made. Its sturdy, and the stand is all metal. It even has a convenient headphones hook on the back. CONS – ***You cant currently run this thing at 1440p at 120hz on a Series X. You can on PC, but not a console. You can flip back and forth between 1440p at 60hz or 1080p at 120hz. But trust me, this is nowhere near as bad as you think it is, especially if youre used to console gaming. This monitor will likely surprise you, especially for the price*** – It isnt very adjustable. Can basically tilt up and down to a minimal degree. Keep in mind that its large and cumbersome for a monitor, so it may not be the best size for some setups. – It doesnt have speakers. You always need a headset or external speakers to play. All in all, for the price: unbeatable. Im super happy. Shooters play smooth and snappy, and RPGs look incredible. Great choice for the new gen consoles if youre on a budget (you probably should be in these times lol).

> 24 hourAfter only a month the monitor Turns off Randomly. I have multiple monitors. Other AOC monitor is fine. I tried switching ports and cables several times. I updated the Nvidia Drivers. Very disappointed product. Next time I just buy from local store. Walmart or Best Buy. Im Revising my review. Customer Support Replied to my email in less than 2 day and after some minor back and forth they gave me an RMA with Full Return Shipping Paid. So, I cant fault them. All electronics are subject to faulty but the company seems to stand behind there product. Monitor Review for my month of usable is very favorable. Beautiful picture quality 5 out of 5 OSD: 3 out of 5 Mounting : 5 out of 5 very easy to assemble and sturdy mount stand.

> 24 hourThis monitor is the best monitor I have ever used in my entire 40 years of using computer hardware. It has brilliant colors, a beautiful design, a rugged stand and super performance. There are a lot of adjustments you can make in the menu to tweak the way the monitor looks and performs. And setting up for G-sync was simple and is working great, even though Nvidia states that this monitor isnt validated as G-sync compatible. Anyone who reports poor visual quality or performance hasnt taken the time to set the monitor up properly. I love this monitor so much that it is now difficult to work on a smaller or non-curved monitor! And games look and perform beautifully. Attached is a screen shot of Wolfenstein working with all the highest settings enabled and it is running in full screen at top speed. This is the monitor you want to buy if you were holding out for a reasonably priced big curved monitor. I cant say enough great things about it.

> 24 hourPROS: Phone and online support/service was excellent so far. Just FEDEXd the monitor to them. Was happy with the monitor when it was working. CONS: Around 7 months into ownership the monitor kept losing the input signal. Changed all the cables, tried all the ports (including video card). Intermittent issue that would happen at anytime (maybe after an 1 hour, few days or a week. Sometimes took me days to get it running again. Connected another older monitor up and its been working for weeks without any issues. P.S. I did just buy another identical monitor. The price has gone up about $40 or $50 from the first one. Wondering if this is another manufacturer taking advantage of COVID with everyone needing more stay at home monitors and PCs. Oh last thing. I just found out the monitor was from China. Had I known that before the two purchases I would have shopped around for a non-Chinese monitor. The reason being the Chinese governments (not people) aggression and treatment of people throughout the world. If I remember Ill update this after getting my monitor back and set up for a few weeks. Stay safe and enjoy life folks.

> 24 hourThe monitor itself is nice quality, I have no problems with pixels or glitches or scratches, and it provides a good picture for the games I play. However this monitor has a strange monitor stand. Despite saying this monitor is Vesa compatible 75mm, the monitor stand is designed to fit into a unique sleek backing. If you like their stiff non-movable stand, this is no problem. The back has a plastic covering that hides all of the components. However, if you decided you wanted to install the monitor on a conveniently mobile stand, you will have no luck. The area youd have to screw it in is a unique shape and is too far inside the monitor casing for any screws to reach. The top two screw holes are too close together and a good inch deeper than the wider holes on the bottom. I believe there are other VIOTEK monitors that dont have this weird unique monitor stand, so I would recommend those over this one. Good monitor, horrible stand. You win some you lose some. If I can come back to this review and post pictures I will.

> 24 hourWould’ve been an easy 5 star review except for a few minor issues. Main one being the inconvenient placement of the hdmi ports. Anytime I’m switching out cords, I have to hold the monitor in one hand and insert the cord into it with the other. Also the picture messes up every now and then when I turn it on but resolves when I turn it off and on again

> 24 hourThis monitor is very cheap, for a reason, I understand now. First, it came with missing parts (i.e., no screws to even put the monitor together, no manual, and no screwdriver for the screws). I had to message them to ship it, which was shipped about 5 business days later. Second, it is extremely dark compared to any other monitor Ive ever had, and there arent many ways to make it noticeably lighter. Whenever I mess with the settings to make it brighter, it makes the letters/words on the screen blurry. Third, the screen tearing effect/motion blur on this monitor is atrocious. I have done everything I can to try and fix it. They recommend putting Picture Quality Response Time to high, but even then, its just terrible. If you have any movement on the screen, it is a VERY noticeable blur. This is coming from both FPS games (Valorant) and RPGs (Path of Exile). Unless I can get some direction on how to properly configure the monitor (if its even possible), I would NOT buy this.
