Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is gonna be long - I bought this monitor after doing a bunch of research and not finding too many reviews on it. It was for the dual-purpose of working from home during the pandemic and gaming, now that I have a PS5. So far it's been perfect for both of those purposes. I bought this and the Samsung CRG5 curved monitor to compare, and ended up keeping this and returning the Samsung. This review will be mostly based on using it for gaming, since pretty much any monitor is fine for emails and spreadsheets. Gaming Features: I've never gamed on a monitor before so my standards probably aren't as high as someone who's used to gaming on a PC. However, I did some due diligence to learn about ghosting and pixel density and motion blur, etc. to at least know the basics of what I was getting myself into. I'll start out by saying that 120-144hz is a noticeable improvement over 60hz if you play shooters or other games where speed and reflex is necessary. If you've ever gone from 30hz to 60hz, it's similar to that. You'll wonder how you were playing on 60hz all that time. Now, while there is MINIMAL ghosting on this monitor when using high fps, it in no way effects gameplay. I notice it every once in a while when I'm running around playing Fortnite or COD but never has it been an issue when s**t is going down and the fighting starts. As for HDR, similar to what some other reviewers have mentioned, things get kind of washed out when you use it so I just keep it off. The contrast is fine without the setting turned on. The OSD is good, though I don't have much to compare it too. There's plenty of picture and quality settings you can play around with to customize the image. There are also some gimmicky features like having the monitor place a crosshair in the center of your screen for you. Physical Features: Build quality was the first thing you'll notice. This monitor is heavy but sturdy as hell. Stand is great but large, so you'll need a good amount of space on your desk if you don't plan to mount (mine is currently mounted). This put the build quality of the Samsung I also got to shame. At 27" this monitor is pretty large. I was worried that in an apartment it would be a bit too big to work with on my small desk, but it's really not. It's definitely not small, and I tested out a 24" monitor because of that, but the 27" has been fine. Brightness is not an issue. I game in a room with a lot of sunlight and I don't think I even have the brightness turned up all the way. Pixel density I read a lot about before I purchased this. Forums saying that 1080p wasn't pixel-dense enough to look sharp on a 27" monitor. That really concerned me until I started using it - trust me, it won't bother you. I'll admit you CAN see the individual pixels if you're really looking for them, but you have to have your face about 6 inches away (literally) from the screen to pick them out. Because I game on console and use it for work, I'm never sitting that close. I'm always at least arm's length away. KVM: This is supposed to be some feature where you can quickly switch between inputs, but it only lets you switch back and forth from USB-C to HDMI as far as I can tell. So having my laptop and my PS plugged into both HDMI ports, I can't switch between them. I just unplug my laptop when I'm going to start gaming. Not a big deal but worth noting since the KVM thing seems to be one of their big selling points. Verdict: I'd definitely recommend this monitor, especially if you're transitioning from gaming on a TV with a console or if you're looking for a great deal on a solid panel. It's kind of like a "jack of all trades, king of none" situation. It doesn't have the flashiest features or the best specs, but it's solid in every category and has been great for gaming at 120hz. If you're looking for a monitor in the $200 range, you can't go wrong with this one.

When i got my PC 2 months ago, i needed a high-quality monitor to display my games, but i was also on a budget. After doing research, i found this particular monitor, that had all of the specs i wanted (144hz Refresh Rate, 1080p, AMD Freesync, 27 inch display) and immediately purchased it. For the price of 200 dollars, it has outperformed even my wildest expectations, and will be a mainstay in my setup for years to come.

Well packaged and works as advertised. Dont have any complaints for this price point

I bought this monitor for my pc build but currently using it as screen for my laptop and I works great. looking forward to using with my pc build once I get all the parts for it.

Such a good monitor, worth every penny. It makes cable management so easy since I just ran all the wires through the base of the monitor

I purchased this monitor to replace a higher specc'd BenQ 27" monitor. Although it was a step down in terms of resolution, the colors are so much better. Also, the price cannot be beat. I checked for dead and stuck pixels and none were found. HDR is washed out and I'll look into tweaking it at some point but the default out of box experience has been great so far. I'm not a big fan of the joystick for OSD controls since i was spoiled by the BenQ's control module but it does the job. The KVM button is nice but I'm already accustomed to using the joystick to switch between Displayport for PC and HDMI for the consoles. Like all budget gaming monitors, there are shortcomings but at the current price point, it's hard to really knock the monitor so much for them. If the colors arent favorable, there are always ICC color profiles you can find online to tweak and play with at your leisure. I can't think of any real reason to take away stars for tgis particular review and I'm personally very happy with it. Also, keep in mind that the default stand has heught adjustments, not really common on gaming monitors at or under $200!

At first, I was skeptical about a 27" 1080p display since pixel density starts being an issue. But in person, I can say the pixels are not visible unless sitting uncomfortably close. The colors are amazing on this IPS panel, and the 144hz is buttery smooth. I would recommend this to a first-time 144hz buyer, and people who like to content create and game since these colors are pretty accurate out of the box. And as a competitive Rainbow Six Siege player, I can say this works perfectly for fast paced shooters.

The quality for the price is great. I can’t tell that big of a difference in quality from a more expensive monitor. I use this for Xbox series x and it works great. 4K monitors are too expensive at the moment and this looks great.

Alot of people will be looking for monitors for the new next generation of gaming. 4K@120hz lets be real ps5 and xbox series x Aint hitting that fps so go for the next best thing that is possible 1080p@120hz on ps5. (at the time of this review ps5 doesnt support 1440p) So I'll write what I am using this monitor for. My main use for this monitor is shooters for the low latency since we are hitting 60+ fps for shooters now thankfully on consoles the difference between how smooth 60-120 is noticeable. For this part I'll write how to turn on 120hz on consoles Only specific games can turn on 120Hz for that to happen you need to go into setting on the PS5 and turn graphic option to performance otherwise this monitor will not turn on 120hz mode Lets go pros and cons now Pros -Has 2 USB 3.0 ports which u can use to connect to ps5 and get 2 extra ports -Great pc monitor 144hz -Great console monitor 120hz -IPS display so colors do not look washed when viewing from the sides <-- this is also a con explain later -Color-brightness all good -Low latency - for some reason the PS4 and PS5 let this monitor go 4K personally i wouldnt use it other than streaming services Cons -IPS display backlight bleed is pretty bad when the whole screen is black no perfect blacks like what VA panels can do -HDR do not turn this on the colors will be extremely washed out something HDR is not suppose to do Games tested for this review -Demon Souls PS5 -God Fall PS5 -COD:Cold War PS4 60hz PS5 120hz -Warzone-PC

Everything I wanted and expected and more. The monitor is very durable, the color is vibrant, and the build is VERY solid from the monitor itself to the base stand. Included 3 different power cables for the United States and European standards, Display port capable, HDMI cable, and USB power cable. I had mine shipped to my house and the packaging held up perfectly as well. No scratches, dents, or dings. I would recommend this monitor to anyone without a second thought.

Had no issues getting it powered on and no screen damages, the only thing that sucks is that all the connections go behind and on the bottom of the monitor making it hard to see what you are plugging in once its already assembled, and idk but on other sites it said that there were speaker already installed but on best buy it wasn't too detailed on that subject, it doesn't have built in speakers and kther sites probably mean like that you can use the mic plugging for separate speakers. Also all the extra cables were great.

Really good monitor for a good price. Never had any issues and I like the way the screen will adjust.

I bought 3 of this monitors for my home office station .... they are working great !!! love the professional look..... this is an excellent monitor for gaming or anything else ... 1ms ips everything you want and more ..... 1080p for 27" is enough

I did a lot of research for this, and honestly I don't think you can get a better 1080p monitor that balances quality, functions and design for this price (unless you find a really good discount). I use it daily for work and gaming and it's been amazing. If you're wondering if a 27inch display is too big, it is a bit too big sometimes, I never open fullscreen windows, but that allows me to have 2 windows open at all times, which is what I needed for my daily Zoom calls (I'm a language teacher). For gaming I move my chair a few inches back and play with a controller, but I do feel like you'd be too close to the monitor if you play with mouse and keyboard (I usually never do so it's not a problem).

This was my first monitor purchase and I must say I am really pleased with this. After plenty of research I found this to be one of the better IPS displays in this price point and the picture is really good as well. If you can get it on sale, I highly recommend getting it. Even at full price it’s a great deal.

Works well, good colors, and easy setup. It's nice that the monitor comes with several cables, so no additional purchases were needed for HDMI cables, etc. I also like how easy it is to raise and lower the monitor on the stand. This is great monitor for basic work from home.

Very clear and beautiful monitor. Best thing is that it is so compatible with so many options for connectivity. Easily can be used w a PC or a laptop as a second screen. Colors and clarity are great. Only been using for a few weeks so will have to see how durable it is.

When i bought this monitor i was looking a good price and up to date specs for gaming. So when i saw this on sale i had to buy it. It not only completed my gaming setup it allowed to play new and current at 1080p resolution.

Very nice monitor for the price, works well with my games. bought it to replace a monitor my cat decided to take a bite out of. First monitor with DisplayPort, so now my Oculus Rift can always be hooked up to the HDMI.

My first 144hz monitor and i can say that this purchase was a good decision. I game on it a lot and am amazed with the performance. Also it looks pretty. I do have an issue where it would not turn on unless i unplug and plug back in the power supply. Other than that it is a good monitor.
