It’s 5 out of 5 for what it is. Everything works as advertised. Easily hitting 150+ frames. Free sync works and got g-sync to work too even though not officially supported.
1440 is a great upgrade from 1080. Just wish I had splurged on an ips panel. Again it’s a VA panel but it’s great.
Size is perfect too. Wish the stand legs didn’t stick out so far out. But it’s well built.

I have been having this monitor for over 2 years. Great quality and has a lot of inputs. I can hook up a lot of things on this monitor. Looks so clean in my setup. The subtle curve in the monitor is just right and I use it for gaming as well as editing and work in general like research. The curve does not distort it since it is subtle.

Amazing!
Works just fine with the Xbox series x. Plays Call of Duty Cold War seamlessly at 120 FPS.
Didn’t think I’d like a curved monitor but quite frankly I don’t even notice that it’s curved to begin with when gaming.
Just be sure to uncheck the box labeled “allow 4K” under display settings on the Xbox before loading up Cold War otherwise 120 FPS will not be enabled.

I bought this monitor a week ago and it’s just beautiful. I play it on my Xbox One which obviously doesn’t support 1440p just 1080p. Hopefully I can purchase the Series X soon so I can play games with the full potential of the monitor.

Excellent monitor, bright, colors are very vibrant and clear. Smooth display with thin bezels, 1500r curve easily allows for full immersion when gaming. Easy assembly for the stand, packaging was high quality and came with ample amount of protection and stability. Overall, an excellent purchase.

I was excited to open this monitor for my new PC, but when I connected the monitor and turned it on I was very disappointed with the damage out of the box. I spent a couple hundred dollars and trusted this brand that it would be a good monitor. Very disappointed with their quality and packaging. Unfortunately it’s passed my return date. If only I turned it on when it arrived, then I would have returned this monitor for a different one.

Great entry 1440p high refresh monitor

Coming from a 1080p 144hz TN panel I was unsure if I’d notice a difference and be happy with the upgrade. Going to a 1440 p 165hz VA panel I could not be happier with my decision. Way less led backlight bleed than I thought it would have. Menu options are fairly straight forward, 165hz can only be achieved through using Display port connection as well as G-sync. Black levels look great as well as Vivid color it genuinely makes a difference in slow paced rpg games as well as fast paced FPS way less ghosting than what I expected for a VA panel. Overall at its price point it’s an exceptional buy and I would recommend this monitor to people wanting to upgrade and make that leap to 2K gaming. However it’s not all positive the two major gripes I have with it which is obviously subjective, the branding “HDR Ready” personally I would leave this setting off as all it does is just take an HDR signal and Dow sample it to SDR. I tried I’m multiple games and benchmarks to justify running it ended up just leaving it turned off as I felt the color was more accurate and vivid with it off. And secondly the stand leave a lot to be desired it doesn’t go up very high or low and has very limited movements which to some may not be a deal breaker, it wasn’t for me, but just something that is hard to tell until you have in your hands to see it.

Great "VA" Monitor for the price

Great Monitor for the price. Had low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised. It does take some time to make adjustments and playing with settings to get it to my liking. But for a 27" 1440P 144+Hz it is a great monitor. Yes, it does have some inherent problems as a VA, but the colors and contrast help. This is NOT a high end IPS 1440p monitor and if you are used to playing on a high Hz IPS you may want something else, but if this is your entry into gaming or upgrading an older 1080P (below 120Hz), this at $300 can be a good a good start.

I was able to get this monitor for $300 through Best Buy and that was a great deal. 1440@165Hz with a picture, that for me at least, required very little tweaking right out of the box. The fit and finish on the monitor is excellent and there were no dead pixels. I like the 1500R curve as it seems to be just the right amount. The only thing this monitor doesn't have, which isn't a fault with the monitor itself but the stand, is the ability to swivel. Also not a huge fan of the control stick being on the back but that seems pretty standard these days.

i switch from a 1080p 24 inch tv to this qhd monitor. looked online on increasing the refresh rate for my 2 desktop towers. its fairly simple. just hook up the hdmi at 144hz and display port at 164hz. just go to display, advanced settings, select the monitor settings and bingo. its done. if you dont do it. your settings is 60hz. also the button on back controls the settings for the qhd monitor. the spekers are factory set at 50 percent. you need to increase it at 100 percent to have an ok sound.

I’ve had my monitor for over a year now and I can happily say it is the best monitor out there. Amazing price with amazing specs. I originally didn’t want a curved monitor but this has completely changed my mind. Although it was a little sad that right out of the box I had 2 dead pixels. But the dead pixels are in corners and don’t bother me much.

Amazing monitor, especially what you get for the price. I kept going back and forth about whether it made sense to get a VA panel vs. a IPS panel. But this monitor does not disappoint. I've had it for a few weeks now with zero issues. I use the various picture modes all the time, and the menus are great at letting you customize them to your preference. Playing an intense game? Turn on FPS mode to increase the black levels and sharpen the picture. Late at night watching a movie in a dark room? Movie mode is perfect for decreasing the Blue Light levels and making the blacks look even more deep.
Cons: Wish it had a remote to quickly change between display modes and inputs. Also, because it's curved you can sometimes see the edgelighting on a dark scene. But I'm talking maybe 5% or less of the time.

Solid Budget Buy

You get what you pay for. Overall, I don't regret my purchase but if you can afford the MSI or Alienware 27 inch monitors with the higher refresh rates with a solid 1440p resolution get those instead. For those that gaming on a 1440p on a budget, this is a solid buy.
When compared to my 2nd monitor (ACER 1080p, 144mhz) the color isn't as deep or bright in some instances. If you spend the time to tweak the stock settings using the monitor, go for it and I'm sure you'll get the type of color you desire.
Viewing wise, the curve isn't drastic and it perfect for FPS gaming in my opinion.
I'd be open to giving it 5 stars if the colors were set more rich when it was running stock out of the box.
For additional consideration here are my specs on my PC:
- Ryzen 5 3600
- b450 mobo
- GIGABYTE 3070 OC Vision

Nice screen

Looks nice and have gamed on it without any issues. Like how I'm able to raise the screen up and down with ease. Everything has been looking pretty sharp. I do some light gaming so I get what I need out of it. Been playing Fortnite, Fallout New Vegas, and No Man's Sky and been looking sharp for me. The program you download to mess with the monitor settings is pretty slow and clunky, wish it was better. I wish there was a dedicated off button instead of activating the menu to turn it off. The power light constantly blink when in sleep mode, so its very annoying when I need to sleep at night so necessary to turn it off. Like that it comes with all necessary cables. Monitor speakers are passable but mostly use headphones so haven't really used them.

Definitely a good budget 1440p curved, high refresh rate monitor. It has served me well since I bought it. Only issue I've seen come across is the omni-directional button has worn down over time making it harder to fully turn off the monitor. Otherwise still working well and
