> 3 dayOverall 2 weeks in the monitor performs well, no hickups or dead pixels. When I first received the monitor I did have to adjust the color setting a bit due to the fact that the monitor made a lot of videos and images very red and greenish. I adjusted the settings to 39% red, 43% green and blue stayed unchanged at 50%. I also have the contrast set on max and the brightness is fine (I change my brightness throughout the day or depending on what games I play). In addition, I used to game on a 4k monitor at 60 hertz, and though id say the picture quality is a step down (and something I miss a lot) the extreme smoothness that comes this monitor is a feature I figure most people would enjoy, but I for one am a video quality freak, who loves to game at super high resolutions with game settings maxed out. One thing this monitor does have going for it, compared to my 4k IPS panel display is once configurated properly its color saturation is very good, colors are bold, and not overwhelming and for the most part videos look accurate. 3 months of use later: Personally the monitor though it does its job of 144hz, and ive never had any downtime or pixel issues, the issue of color accuracy, and overall scaling to 1440p is pretty terrible, many edges are jagged, and it gives me a lot of headaches when using this monitor due to everything blurry to some extent. I have since returned this monitor and went back to my old LG 4k 60hz monitor.

> 3 dayOk, for the money this is one of the best 1440p monitors I could have bought! The model I purchased was the GNV27DB. Pros- 144hz (using the included dp cable) Amazing picture quality no dead pixels to be found awesome customer support (had a few questions about product) packaging was top notch (Ace Ventura could have delivered this monitor and im sure it would have been fine lol) cons- back cover broke the first day (covers where the inputs go plastic felt cheap or I was to heavy handed.) after being in standby mode it stutters from on and off. taking out and putting back in the power cord does the trick. color is off and needs to be calibrated So with the color issue and text looking funny I spent $20 U.S. and bought a cheap color sensor from ebay. downloading display cal for free and 15 minute calibration seems to have readily done the trick. im sure using a more expensive tool would have given me better results but, Im on a budget. Ill do a more extensive calibration tonight when I get home. Games look amazing on this monitor! I play in full definition 1440p and all max settings and has easily been one of the best upgrades Ive made since my computer build. Ill be in touch with Viotek tomorrow and will update the rating if they can sort out my issues.

Greater than one weekwith a little tweaking of the settings, this monitor can look pretty good and fits the bill for a standard 1440p 27 workstation monitor. any gamers looking for a high quality experience with the 144hz refresh rate be weary, though--- in comparison to 120hz monitors that ive own from top brand monitors, this one feels extremely blurry. while the response time feels very good, the refresh rate does NOT feel like a 144hz monitor. it must be something to do with pixel responsiveness being low. after testing across multiple games and applications, i would say this monitor decidedly looks and feels like its actually running at about 90-100hz from a visual standpoint. the monitor says its running at 144hz at all resolutions, but it just isnt quite as good as anything youll get from benq, lg, gigabyte, asus, or acer--- that i have tried. the clarity on extremely high framerate games is not there in comparison over competitors, and it is extremely obvious, its not really even close, its very blurry. for a budget workstation monitor with professional oriented applications, this monitor feels very good, the colors exceeded my expectations with a lot of tweaking to the profiles, but failed dramatically for me in terms of gaming performance. Fortunately my old gaming monitors are still perfectly functional and I can keep this for work projects, but overall wish I would have just gotten a monitor with comparable resolution and size, but give up the 144hz for 60hz in exchange for a more reputable brand name at the same price, either that or spent about 50-100 extra for a comparable 144hz 27 1440p from a more reputable brand.

Greater than one weekJust 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

> 3 dayIt is what it advertises it is which is great and I like it however I thought this was 1ms response time because thats what I was searching for on amazon right but after buying it and looking back over it looks to be between 4-6 which is still fine and I can not tell a difference however I just wish it was more apparent that is 4ms not 1 somewhere in the description. It also does not have speakers which I found inconvenient because my old monitor did but I got some speakers for it and I like it a lot. The curve is a lot easier to get used to then I thought it would be. There is also a setting in the options that says response time and the options for it is off, low, medium, high, of which I have no idea what it does and if I should have it on low high or off and havent been able to find much info about it online.

> 3 dayI play games but this was more for day trading so i didnt want to spend too much for a larger monitor. I have a previous model from viotek as well, the gn32dr. Compring the 2, i like the licture quality and brightness on this model but the stand is definitely lower quality. The older model was a tripod that took up a good chunk of desk space but was SOLID....that thing never moves/wobbles. This model is only a 2 leg stand and the monitor when a train comes by my house. Although it has some movement, its not to the point of concern where you think it will fall off or anything like that; its just not quite as stable as the previous model. That being said this was about $70 cheaper than that model so investing in a mount may be a way to fix that if its an issue for you. No dead pixels, had it out of box and usable within 5 minutes or so. I would definitely buy this again. Viotek is a nice budget brand for good quality and high refresh rate without spending >$400+ 3 year no dead pixel warranty made me feel comfortable making this purchase. Just something to consider....some people are hard to please and some of the bad reviews i read were nitpicky and not things i would be concerned about like response being 4ms vs 1ms and the brightness, which i see nothing wrong with. Picture quality looks good to me and fit my budget. No complaints here after 2 weeks of use. Ill update if anything changes

> 3 dayPROS: 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.

> 3 dayI bought this monitor two weeks ago solely for the purpose of 120hz gaming on my PS5, the monitor DOES NOT WORK with the PS5 and the 120hz option. I also own a X box series X, and had to use the over ride feature to get it to work at 1080p at 120hz, which I was actually glad for, but I mostly game on my PS5 and play BO Cold War. I have tried everything from putting my system is in performance mode and watched a ton of YouTube videos, but nothing has worked. I called Viotek support and nothing worked. If you have a X Box or are using PC, then this is a good buy at the right price, but if you’re buying this for a PS5 120hz gaming then DO NOT this monitor.
