Viotek GNV32DBE 32-Inch Curved Gaming Monitor | 2560x1440p QHD | 165Hz | 120% sRGB | FreeSync/G-Sync | 2X DP, 1x HDMI 2.0 | 3 Years Zero Dead Pixels

This monitor is pretty good for the price. It is the absolute cheapest option with these specs. However, while viotek advertises a 4ms crystal clear image, there is noticeable black smearing and some ghosting in general. I am particularly sensitive to these types of issues, and this monitor stands out as having a fairly slow pixel response time. It has never caused me to be at a competitive disadvantage though, and in 99% of situations it merely looks like there is an extra-low motion blur option on in a game. The image is still quite sharp, and with the high resolution and large size of the panel I can still make out most fine details while moving the camera around. The colors are much better than my old TN panel, and the brightness and contrast in general stand out as very good. The menu buttons are clumsy, but even if I were switching inputs frequently it would not prevent me from buying this monitor. The stand is absolutely horrible. It takes up a lot of space on the desk and does not inspire confidence. This can be remedied by purchasing a quality monitor arm. Also, contrary to the zero dead pixel policy, my unit arrived with exactly one dead pixel. I wont return it over a single pixel, as I cant see it except for on a black screen, but it is disappointing. I would purchase this monitor again. Even with the ghosting, I am happy with my purchase. It is a big step up from a 24 144hz tn panel. However, if I ever get back into a few fast paced esports games, I will probably play them on my faster TN panel.

Just amazing!!!!! I got the 32 one..... dont overthink it....just buy it :)....for the folks who state the monitor isnt appearing in Nvidia Control Panel as Gsync compatible: you MUST enable Freesync from the monitors own OSD menu for it to appear as GSync. 03/16/21 edit***** Just added a picture of Nvidias CP showing the monitor as G-Sync compatible..... this because I noticed there are a few buyers who still say it does fake advertising because they dont know how to enable it..... read above to know how

Really satisfied with this monitor. It was my first 1440p monitor and my first curved screen monitor. The quality is great, the settings on it are vast and intuitive, and Im loving it after about a month of 12+ hours of use per day. It makes a great primary gaming monitor. My only complaint is that it SEEMS fragile on the stand. I havent actually had any issues, but whenever it is touched or bumped it wiggles a great deal, but it returns to its perfect resting position. Great monitor. I dont think I need two of this size and quality, but if I decide to get another monitor, I will likely go with the same brand.

PROS: 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.

Died after 2 years :(

This is a really good monitor. It looks good, has all the necessary cord ports, and has a crisp display. My only complaint with it is that the colors could afford to be a bit more saturated, but other than that its fantastic. I will warn, however, that the original packaging isnt the best at protecting it. Be cautious if transporting your monitor, as mine got damaged and I had to have it replaced.

When I bought this, I was unsure about how I felt about a curved display. I had previously bought a 60hz 1440p ViewSonic display, but it was terrible and stuff looked blurry, so I returned it. I bought this since it was similar in price and 144hz. Its pretty good, not the best monitor I have color wise, but its still good enough to be my main display. 144hz makes user interfaces smoother and is better for gaming. Using it next to flat 60hz displays works quite well. I got used to the curve and I dont really notice it in use, however Ill probably stick with flat displays for 16:9 and taller aspect ratios. There are some minor issues, like the cable hider being a pita to use and I kinda broke it, and the VESA mount being a bit complex, but those dont affect use. One issue that affects use, but is easy to workaround is that the monitor is incorrectly configured when it comes to full/limited RGB. Using YCbCr444 fixes this, but its probably only my monitor that has this problem, so likely not a concern.

This was an impulse purchase for me. I knew I was going to buy a new graphics card and that the new RTX 30xx series was going to be a huge step up from my old card. I wasnt seriously considering monitors -just window shopping and dreaming-, but the price for this one, plus the previous ratings, and most importantly the zero-dead-pixel policy grabbed my attention. Ive been very happy with it so far. The color and brightness are great, the response time is good enough for serious gaming, and it arrived without a single dead pixel. Gaming has been a pleasure on it, although my old GTX 960 is straining a bit at the higher resolution (1440p) while Im stuck on a waiting list for my new graphics card. The only minor issue Ive had is that some videos have noticeable horizontal striping when the recording doesnt quite match the high 144MHz refresh rate. Most videos look fine, but some stuff on social media looks bad. But overall this is an easy recommendation if youre looking for a 2k gaming monitor.

I 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.

My monitor works just fine. If you’re on the fence about it and are looking for better than the baseline but not top of the line, I’d say go for it. I picked it because it was a good value for a curved monitor. Personally, I love it. I never thought I could afford a “fancy” monitor, though this was still a little out of my price range. I don’t use it for gaming, unfortunately, so can’t speak to that, but videos and documents look great on it. No missing pixels. HDMI cord (not included) had some problems staying connected - could be an issue with the monitor’s port but I’m not sure. The little tabs on the back plastic panel broke off when I was first putting it together, but that was my fault probably, and doesn’t really make a difference (just exposes the cords in the back a bit). Despite these concerns, I’m still quite happy with the purchase.
