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

Ok, 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.

The monitor itself has no issues from what I can tell, being true to itself: a curved 1440p 165hz gaming monitor. Thats why this isnt 1 or 2 stars The main issue I have is that my DisplayPort suddenly went out without any sort of help (rough movements, voltage changes, etc) and Ive only had this monitor for 4 months. Luckily I was able to use one of the TWO HDMI ports on the back to get it back up and running again. Why theres two HDMI and not two DisplayPorts is beyond me. Mind you, through HDMI, these monitors only reach 75hz, LESS THAN HALF their rated max refresh rate. At least I can still use the monitor until I can get a new one. Low rating for shoddy internal manufacturing.

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.

Ive bought multiple viotek monitors for myself and others in the past and I stand by them. If you play with the settings you can get the color just right. Used for gaming this is one of the best price vs performance brands on the market. There is better quality out there but for the price you cant argue with viotek.

Cant really tell how much better this is compared to a flat screen, but its a good monitor

Died after 2 years :(

First one had dead pixels notified seller had me return it. Sent another out right away works as should

So Im not sure if its considered motion blur, but whenever theres movement in a game theres a motion blur effect. I find it very annoying...thankfully I dont use it and the person who does doesnt care. Other than that, its a good monitor. Nice size, seems to have good color and it supports 1440p.

Its a great overall monitor for price, dont get me wrong. Its great at 144hz and you barely notice the curve. But unfortunately I did order 2 and one of them came with a dead pixel. Its not a big deal, since its in the corner, but still, I cant sell the device now with it having a known defect. As well, these monitors are not very bright. I have them cranked up to max brightness with optimal contrast, used Windows built-in graphics optimizer, and even edited my color correction profile manually. These are just dim panels, unfortunately. Probably the main reason Im giving this monitor 4 stars instead of 5.

Pros: - Great specs at a very affordable price. - Smooth performance for games at high settings (my GPU is a Radeon RX 5700 XT) - 3 year manufactures limited warranty and support. - 1500R curvature provides excellent immersion for games/videos. Most curved monitors from more well-known brands usually only come in 1800R, though the difference is only slightly noticeable. Cons: - Lack of height adjustment. Unless you have a large desk, you need to get creative to have this sitting ergonomically correct. - Max brightness level is par at best. Not great if using in a well lit room. - Average default display settings out of the box. Optimal color calibration and optimization is left up to you. The OSD is not very user friendly so the process was quite tedious.
