I absolutely love this screen, it’s big, easy to assemble, easy to use, with great color and with a very good price. I would recommend without hesitation !
Seriously good monitor, fully adjustable and perfect for what I need it for. Easy button controls and ideal for gaming. Will probably get a second one when i add to my setup.
This monitor is okay, however it occasionally has issues of flickering, that as of writing hasn’t been resolved in a driver update. It is 144hz, and it is a 1440p ultrawide, however on the ufo test it has significant ghosting that’s worse then my Asus 144hz 1080p monitor that was made over 10 years ago and I wish I’ve seen high speed pictures of it before purchasing.
This monitor has bright spots at the top that is only visible from extreme angles and does not effect the viewing experience
Overall though I’m happy enough not to return it, but I would consider other options, the xiaomi 34″ monitor uses the same panel but the overdrive implementation is bette
60hz is also completely fine for me as well as I don’t tend play loads of multiplayer so wasn’t too worried about having higher FPS
The build quality is great and it was very easy to set up with no tools needed. The bezels stood out as there impressively thin on the sides and top compared to a lot of other gaming monitors I was looking at…
It also came with all cables needed including HDMI and DisplayPort.
In terms of the screen quality – it is absolutely incredible! Coming from a much larger 4K tv this is just on another level in terms of brightness, picture quality and colours for games (I’m still in awe playing AC Valhalla sometimes…). There’s also plenty of settings to change around in terms of picture, colour and input delay but out the box I’ve barely had to change anything.
The only drawbacks are it’s lack of mobility with the monitor only having the ability to tilt (no up down motion or swivel) but this wasn’t a big deal for me considering the price.
It also has very week built in speakers which do the job, but I’d recommend using headphones if possible.
To sum up if your on a budget and would prefer picture quality over a higher refresh rate – you can’t go wrong with this. It is great value for money and I’m really happy with it!
he speakers haven’t got a very good quality but the rest of the monitor is good
Took me ages to finally upgrade but I’m glad I did. 144hz is honestly the new 60hz and makes almost everything you do on your pc feel so much smoother. This was the best value I could find at the time of purchase and I’m really satisfied.
I had this on backorder since December, glad I waited. This is a great value 4k monitor with speakers, I ended up paying 250, I believe it was as low as 230 around Black Friday.
I have a 12 year old Illyama 24″ which is still working and has decent speakers, the speakers on this are fine for my use but average. I have a 4k Asus and the speakers are much better but that cost about 400.
They provide a UK 3 pin cable, EU 2 pin cable, HDMI cable and Displayport cable.
There is no manual but it is pretty self-explanatory, manual available to download online.
The buttons are tiny and fiddly and the button function indicators are hard to see. I am going to stick on some laels on.
So far so good, image looks fine but I do not have a trained eye, I just need it to work.
Edit: The speakers are very poor, after a week I had to buy some speakers for my PC as the ones on the monitor are unbearable. It’s a shame as this is my 4th monitor with speakers and these are the worst. The monitor display itself is fine though, nice small bezel, same vertical footprint as my old 24″.
The monitor arrived quickly and on time. Unfortunately the wrong cable was provided in the box from the manufacturer (not the sellers fault). However, when the seller was contacted they quickly responded by email and phone to help. A new cable was sent out and everything works great. The monitor is great quality and the seller is even better. Top tier service!
Great value for money , my son loves it so easy to set up and use
I’m no expert at these things and I bought it for my son who is used to having a TV as a gaming monitor. The difference between this monitor and a TV is huge, amazing picture quality, everything looks much sharper with better resolution, even at 1080p. For the money this is a good buy and ideal for gaming unless you’re a nerd about these things and require more.
Brilliant monitor, fantastic image quality, bought this size rather than having 2 separate monitors, was advised that the curved screen helps those of us with old eyes that need glasses and it really does work and looks impressive on my desk too!
Amazing monitor 120 Hz bought for my son for his new Xbox series X and he absolutely loves it great value in comparison to others
The monitor is built to every high standard, it comes with all the cables like HDMI, Display port. However, the speakers aren’t too great, but as it’s a monitor that is respectable, as usually monitors don’t have speakers. I have had no issues with my monitor ever since my purchase. I would recommend this monitor especially for the price as it is 165hz for an extremely good price.
Bought this monitor for use with my Xbox Series X. Stupidly bought one without HDR. But the screen is fantastic. The picture looks amazing running 1440p @ 120hz. Speakers give a good sound as well. No USB sockets or headphone jack. But overall a great monitor for the price.
Replaced another branded monitor that just wasn’t up to the job so went for this to replace that. The gamer is now satisfied that it meets his every needs – so if he ain’t complaining then there is nothing else to say.
Prompt delivery from supplie
Really good especially for the price my son is so happy with it x
From the second I set this monitor up I was in love. I went from a 25″ 1440 to this and the difference is night and day. For everything from work/productivity to gaming, this monitor just changes everything you do for the better. The curve is fantastic in making sure that the extra real-estate doesn’t cause problems, and the immersion in games is excellent. I’ll never go back to standard aspect ratios again. The free sync compatibility with the gsync on my GeForce 3070 has so far been flawless. For something that falls within the budget price range, this certainly looks and feels pretty premium to me! If you’re on the lookout for something like this with this spec and you’re on a budget, don’t hesitate to click that buy button.
Used with a game consul good clear picture. Delivery was very quick.
I love this screen. It has made my working day so much better. I also have a 32″ 4K 16:9 flat screen, and though they’re very different I like this at least as much. I haven’t tried serious gaming on it yet.
This is a quality screen would have no hesitation in buying another one should I need to.
Bought this to get better use out of my new Xbox series x, the difference between a 32 inch HD telly and this monitor is night and day, really happy and I doubt there’s a better gaming monitor on the market for the price. Speakers are atrocious as you’d expect, curve is not massively noticeable and it come preconfigured at its lowest settings but adjusting them is fairly easy. Stand is metal and very sturdy and versatile.
I don’t use this monitor for gaming, but mainly work and related stuff. Not too sure how it plays well for gaming.
Bought this for my teenage son and he is very happy with the curved screen and high resolution. Easy to set up and use. One small point, the box is massive in comparison to the size of the monitor so don’t expect a massive screen when this arrives.
Great screen, works well with my Nvidia 1660ti for 1080p gaming (mainly FPS). Massive stepup from my previous 60hz monitor. Recommended.
Good for the price I paid and nice quality. Needed to adjust some things but looked ok. Ghosting is a problem on this monitor even with overdrive off
The curve is a wonderful feature from someone who’s never had a curved monitor, There are some speak of the whites being a little dull but I haven’t really noticed that.
Overclocked to 165Hz with no problem at all.
So good I’m ordering another for dual screen setup
An amazing monitor 10/10.
Very good monitor easy set up and excellent picture quality
great budget gaming monitor, the refresh rates up to 165hz is insane for this price as well as it being curved. there is a bit of back light bleed when the whole screen is black but it doesn’t bother me too much. overall i would recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a 1080p 165hz monito
Bought for grandson for Christmas. Arrived when expected. Thirteen year old gaming expert says this is ACE.
Good monitor, stand legs are too long going to saw them shorter, picture used to be slightly wavy to start with but now it’s fine so good monito
If you’re looking for a quality ultra wide monitor, this is an ideal buy.
It the best monitor I have ever had, the quality is excellent, the box comes with HMI and displays port cable. every corner of the monitor looks perfect and sharp.
No need to do configuration as it looks perfect as soon as is connected, 100% recommended.
Fantastic monitor, all the same specifications as much more expensive alternatives. The 100Hz refresh rate combined with the (~) 21:9 aspect ratio really makes games more enjoyable. Great connectivity and Freesync to boot. If you are in the market for a 1440p high refresh rate ultrawide and are at all concerned with price, get this.
Bought for granddaughter to use with her new gaming pc, she loves it. Great picture quality, handles the graphics of all her games and decent value for money.
I used this product for Verdansk – got my K/D from 0.80 to 5.0 two months after playing on this. Especially with gamer vision (i forget whats its called – but its an option to change display settings to), I can see everything. I can even see campers in superstore from a distance! I had to travel and have temporarily been using a TV as a replacement, and I miss this monitor dearly. Its also incredibly ergonomic. I always thought back and neck pain was a necessary part of the grind, but this monitor works better than popping any painkiller. I’ve never properly used the feature where i move it from horizontal to vertical display (by literally spinning the screen), but I have seen folks do that to read PDFs, ebooks, etc. Even at 24 inches (as opposed to 27 or higher), its the best 24 inches I’ve ever had. 10/10, 5*/5*, 100%!!!!
Very good monitor and the delivery was fast
Thank you my son is so happy
This is a Cristhmass gif
I ordered this monitor (curved) for a good price through Amazon Warehouse, appeared brand new apart from some minor damage to the box. However, I suspect this may have been a previously returned item due to it only coming with an EU 2-pin power lead, not a problem for me as I already had a spare suitable UK power lead. The kind needed is a C5 ‘Cloverleaf’ lead, which is type commonly used for laptop chargers. Anyway, very happy with this monitor, great quality picture and I like the integration of a 4 port USB hub.
Resolution – Good
Stand – Sturdy
Accessories – loads
Cons
Slow to switch input
Buttons too small
Speakers are terrible

One of the best monitor I ever had. Great quality/colour/brightness. I am happy to have buy i
Packaged well and comes with HDMI and DisplayPort cables and two power cables for UK/Euro plugs. No USB cable, so if you want to use the built-in USB hub you’ll need to find your own.
Attaching the base was easy, no tools needed.
The monitor is a nice size and feels sturdy, the stand holds it well and it doesn’t wobble or move around if you bump the desk. It also doesn’t take up too much space on the desk despite it’s size.
Out of the box I fond that the picture was a bit too red, and I noticed some ghosting on darker backgrounds.
The colour issue was fixed by changing the colour mode to User and then going through the Windows 10 display calibration wizard.
Enabling the monitor’s Overdrive mode and setting it to Medium fixed most of the ghosting. There will still be some as it’s a VA panel, but it’s a lot better when the overdrive is turned on.
Works well for the handful of games I tried such as Anno 1800, Tropico 6 and Doom Eternal, and the image quality is pretty good. It’s not the brightest but for the price it’s certainly acceptable.
I did try enabling nVidia GSync (which this monitor is not certified for) and it works, but in some games it causes a slight flicker.
The colours and contrast are good for movies, works really well in a darkened room.
My main use for the monitor will be for working rather than gaming. It has replaced dual 1080p monitors, and it’s just a much easier to use and neater solution.
No dead or stuck pixels to report either.
Overall, great monitor if you’ll use for work or productivity, works well for games too but if you’re into super fast paced games and think the ghosting on dark colours might be an issue then an IPS monitor is probably what you want.
For the price this one was, it’s hard to find much better.
Pros:
Perfect size for multi-tasking, usually run three screens @1080p but this and just one other monitor is tons of space
HDMI and DP can both run at 100Hz despite some sources online claiming otherwise (this is for the CU354G2/BK not the more expensive X version) but make sure you’ve got the right versions of the cables, older DP/HDMIs won’t perform
No ghosting or lag when gaming, I play competitive FPS games and it’s excellent
Discrete bezels and the red strip at the bottom isn’t too noticeable, it looks professional not gamer’y
Cons:
More dead pixels than I’d like, apparently their “gaming” range have a no dead pixel guarantee but not this one, beware of that. I have a few clusters which are annoying but not a huge issue.
Sometimes I’ll try to switch from DP to one of the HDMIs and despite there being a signal from my device, it takes a solid minute before it’ll come online.
It’s a little bit dim, the monitor puts out good light but it’s all just a little washed out compared to a normal 1080 monitor. I got used to this quickly and it doesn’t bother me now but I’d like blacks to be… Blacker.
Really really should have multiple DisplayPort inputs instead of 1xDP and 2xHDMI
very good quality the speekers are very good the stand is strong and easy to put toghether totaly recommend purchasing.
I use at home, it is much easier on the eyes, and posture-wise than crouching over my laptop.
Not sure why people are so picky with “backlight”, “color saturation”, etc. when the average user will not even bother going into the settings and just use it out of the box (maybe they will turn the FreeSync on). That is why this is a super good monitor – AT this price point. IPS, 144HZ, 1080p, built in speakers, USB hub, great settings menu.
I have had zero problems with mine, no dead pixels, no bleeding, no issues with the panel whatsoever.
If you can get this at the price I got it (169) then you shouldn’t even bother looking at other monitors.
Well done AOC.
Took about 3-4 hours to get used to the curve and now it’s not bothering me anymore. Been gaming and using computer for over 15 years since young and switching it bothered me, however now it feels normal and much easier on my eyes and head. Nice viewing curve
Says what it does and the seller delivered 3 days earlier than expected. Which is a bonus. Do note that 34 inch ultra wides are a specific bunch as a Nvidia card with G-sync and this monitor has its issues causing unwanted blank screens which is due to some technical issue within the G-sync module itself. There are workarounds but requires decent googling. So if your expectation is to have excellent variable refresh rates without it being verified G-sync. Well there are limits.
Review of the 24 inch IPS monitor (HD, 75 Hz).
For around 150 this is a very good value screen that is bright and clear. Great for both gaming (playing fortnite etc) and general use like surfing the web, working from home etc. No blur or issues noted with the 75 Hz refresh rate.
The monitor stand is well built and sturdy allowing screen height and tilt to be easily adjusted. UK plug provided along with HDMI and DP cables. Built in speakers are average quality (same probably applies to most budget monitors). Workaround is to use headphones or external speakers.
This monitor is really good if you have the right set up, only issue is that I had a very minor dead pixel on the screen (so small I could just about see it) and that it clearly wasn’t sent to me first as it had someone else’s address which means its been either returned or its second hand, packaging was all intact despite box being open so all in all im happy with the item
If you want HDR look elsewhere. If you want a 144hz ultrawide at 1440p, get this one.
Great screen, dropped a star because the panel isn’t hermetically sealed….got Thunderbirds crawling around behind the screen after just a month of owning.
It is good for normal computer work and gaming however it can easily get dirty but is not that noticeable
There is some black smearing when you have white text on the black background but this has no impact on how things look in game.
Another great value product from AOC, I couldn’t justify the huge costs for other brands which was around double the price and more at the time I brought this.
Love the monitor, would highly recommend.
Works great as a main monitor for my setup. Colours a great. The 144 refresh rate has made my gameplay severely better and made designing alot more comfortable. Definitely recommend buying it!
This is a great monitor for close to its RRP, the issue is that it isn’t at its RRP often. Most of the bad reviews are because the customer received the wrong monitor and aren’t reflective of the product. I had an LG 2560×1080 144hz IPS and this monitor subjectively is better than that for color reproduction, couple that with the better resolution and it is a winner.
The downside of this monitor is that in some reviews the panels pixel response time means that it cant achieve a true 144hz but is actually around 120hz. My graphics card is struggling to get above 100 fps in most game with this screen anyway. I feel an upgrade coming on!!
Quality of the monitor and price is satisfying, I only have issue with my cable not sure if it’s monitor. Sometimes I get no signals and have to plug couple of times until it works.
I picked the monitor up as I was growing tired of being limited to 60fps in many of the first person shooters that I play due to my old 60hz monitor, meanwhile my hardware could push me up to 200fps+ on certain games. The jump from 60hz to 144hz was better than I expected, I haven’t used it enough to notice any statistical improvements in the games I play but I do notice myself being able to line up shots a lot easier due to the smoothness. Even when I can’t hit 144hz in some games, G-Sync (For Nvidia Card owners) / Free-Sync (For AMD card owners) helps out a huge amount by helping to reduce screen tearing by a large amount.
Monitor/Picture quality stuff aside, the design of the monitor is really up to personal preference, I’m not a huge fan of the gamer aesthetic (red accents on the stand) but the overall design is quite pleasant to look at. My only true gripe with the monitor that I have is the built in buttons for the monitor settings. The buttons are extremely annoying to press and I found myself getting annoyed at how much time you’re given in the menu without pressing anything before it kicks you out, I believe it was around 10 seconds. The reason I’m taking a star off of the overall product is because of the buttons, is it too much to ask for something user friendly for an otherwise great monitor?
Also AOC offer a program that allows you to directly create custom profiles for the monitor that you can easily switch between while on your desktop, I definitely recommend that anyone buying this monitor search for it because it helps you avoid the bad menu buttons.
The AOC 27G2U is a great size, 144hz AND is G-Sync compatible with lots of options in the OSD to tweak to your hearts content. Out of the box colours were great but I’m using the user1 mode and have reduced the green a little and set the overdrive to medium and looks fantastic using desktop applications and you can really see the difference when gaming. The OSD is very snappy but the buttons are a little fiddly but once set them you don’t need to touch them.
All in all a perfect monito
Great monitor for the price. Would buy 3 if I had enough space
Ordered two of these to use as secondary monitors in a triple monitor configuration. IPS glow/backlight bleed is minimal. No dead pixels. Good colour reproduction.
Great monitor especially for the price.
This monitor is quality. You can shift around the stand to your liking and even rotate the screen itself. The IPS panel has some really nice colours as well.
The best monitor I’ve ever owned. People often say the brightness is an issue and I don’t understand unless you’re use to multi-thousand dollar monitors, fast delivery, jaw dropping quality.
This is a great monitor. Although this is primarily a gaming monitor I use it mainly for watching videos, surfing the net and working from home. Picture quality is excellent and a great improvement over my previous Samsung monitor which packed up during lockdown so was looking for something reasonably priced and found this. Very happy with purchase.
Perfect screens. Purchased three screens all together, just be warned they deliver them separate time. I had to wait all day. 1 at 10:00, another at 15:00 and then the last at 17:00
Okay, I had heard good things about this monitor but wow! I’m amazed of how crisp the image is. I have the 24″ 144hz and when it comes to gaming, it’s a new experience. This is when you don’t feel like going back to consoles.
One thing I’d like to see improved in future models is the menu buttoms, they feel a bit cheap, but the rest, although is plastic feels very well built.
If like me you are coming to an IPS screen for the first time, and are unsure about it’s glow, then absolutely it does have a glow, and it is distracting. I came from an old TFT monitor, which had perfect viewing angles (you could see the screen fine at almost 180 degrees), however here you can see the discolouration and mist in the corners of the screen while playing or watching something dark. I find it quite distracting as it makes me want to crane my neck in an attempt to find a better angle to view that portion of the screen. I might get used to it (I’ve had the monitor about a week) but it’s not something you really want to have to deal with when upgrading from a 12 year old 60 second hand monitor, to a 160 brand new product. Also if you try look at the monitor from any angle that isn’t straight on, you’ll be looking at a murky greeny swamp, though I recognise most of the time you’re not doing that.
The colours and brightness are definitely great though. They’re very vivid, and the screen is clear and sharp (though I did have to use Windows ClearFont to make text slightly more comfortable).
A few issues: I did have some issues getting freesync to work properly with an nVidia 1660S, having to download a tool to adjust the range of freesync supported frequencies to get it working smoothly with some games. I also still have an issue where the monitor (using DisplayPort) won’t wake up from sleep without reconnecting the cable, so I’ve just settled to not having it go to sleep at all!
I must say however, that the build quality feels excellent. The stand is very nice, quality material, easily put together, sturdy without consuming much space and has adjustable height. You can easily raise or lower the screen as well as rotate it about 45 degrees while using it.
In the end, I personally don’t appreciate the vibrancy enough to make up for the glow. I’m only really keeping this screen because its bigger and 16:9 vs my previous 16:10 18″. If you worry about IPS, then don’t get one. Other screen types are not nearly as bad as people say and IPSes don’t live up to the hype. I rated it 4 star because if you do like IPS, then this is probably an excellent choice.
The monitor is great and a great value for the price. It has a lot of features and plenty of connectors. However, to use it properly you need some support. And from the support point of view it sucks!
For instance, I am using a Mac and the driver CD that comes with the monitor has only a PC version of the driver. Nothing for Mac. You may think; ok I’ll go to the AOC website and get one.
Wrong!! The website is not working, or non existant. Neither Safari nor Chrome can find it.
I don’t know if it is a temporary thing but it definitely does not work. Awkward!
Ah! I forgot if you want to use it with your mac you need a video type-c connector.
The monitor comes with a couple of HDMI cables. So you definitely need an adaptor to use it with the Type-C connectors of a new MacBook Pro.
Given the dawn of the working from home era I needed a monitor for day to day use. I purchased this due to its adjustable stand which is incredibly practical. Good viewing angles, a handy usb hub (though this requires a usb a to b cable) and a reasonable height to the stand
I’m 100% satisfied with this purchase.
is good for gaming , little white zone on black screen , dont have g-sync & usb-c port bot is a good monitor for his price
Lovely looking monitor with great picture quality but I would like to add that although it advertises 144hz I’m only getting 120 max on my Nvidia card so think this is should be taken with the caveat that this is ONLY achievable with AMD cards. However, I have not tested this as I do not have an AMD card so it might not even be achievable at all, I’m only assuming that’s why I’m not getting 144hz so something to think about before you buy. I would like to add that if it is the case that you can achieve the full 144hz only with an AMD card then it is extremely misleading because it doesn’t state this anywhere in the product description or provided while it does clearly say the monitor IS G-Sync compatible. so if Nvidia cards = 120hz max then I think they need to express this somewhere – these are very dubious marketing practices indeed as I bought the monitor for 144hz and nowhere is it displayed that this might not be possible.
So let me summarize quickly:
– Great looking
– Great performance
– Great quality (right out of the box)
– Great price
x Not 144hz but 120hz – (tested only with Nvidia card).
you know whats its like, its really hard to find the right monitor, there are so many things to consider. This is the 4th monitor i have bought trying to find one i like and i can confirm this one – I LOVE IT
If you are a console gamer looking for ps4 or xbox one monitor i dont think you can find a better monitor. the picture is incredible, the best 1080p i have ever seen.
if you are a pc gamer get the AOC 27G2U or another name for the same model is theAOC 27G2. That monitor is like this one, but goes up to 144hz… If you are a console gamer you are better off getting the 27G2U5 because it is cheaper because it goes up to 75 hz only which is enough for console gaming as console is 60hz maximum
This is a fantastic monitor, especially when you consider the price. I mainly use it as an extra screen for my laptop. The images and text are clear. The colours are bright and well balanced. I’ve also used it for gaming, and I was happy with the results. The only negative is the built in speakers, which are a little tinny.
10/10 would recommend, the monitor is greate for gaming and watching videos, suler high quality image and hardware quality. Only complaint is that the power cable sometimes disconnects if you youch it, its not a big deal though.
You will be hard pressed to find a better 24 inch 1080p 144Hz monitor at this price. The colors are amazing and the viewing angles are great as you would expect with an IPS display.
Mostly used for gaming and never going back tto anything other than 144hz.
The only negative would be the the menu for settings, etc. it’s not very well designed. Also also presets are awful so you have to tinker around to get your perfect settings but once done, you won’t be touching it ever and it’s a good tradeoff for the price.
This is an outstanding monitor. Read great reviews and it lives up to them.
When you order, make sure you add a note that it is the curved one. Amazon haven’t got the item number correct as it should have a ‘C’ at the start for curved. Amazon sent me a flat one at first and I had to return it and wait for a new one. Fortunately the second one was curved.
You will have to fiddle and work at it but the picture quality is there.
In case its helpful im using ..
contrast 30 brightness 70 on gamma setting 2 (all other settings off)
User defined colour temp. Red 0 Green 14 Blue 18
Sturdy stand, height adjustment and angle adjustment
Nice black levels, good colour reproduction for media consumption
27′ is a suitable size
Has build in speakers(don’t expect anything decent though)
Thin bezels
144Hz on 1440p
Comes with display port and HDMI cables
Has a headphone jack behind it
Cons:
Lacks monitor rotation
No HDR
Doesn’t come with the USB cable for the USB hub so you will need to buy a separate cable if you want to use that
Brightness isn’t as high as other monitors, only 250cd, but plenty for indoor use, except when there is direct sunlight
Some response time issue but not too noticable if you turn overdrive to Strong
OSD can be hard to control at times
TLDR; Fantastic monitor, colours as accurate as my previous Samsung panel 10/10 would recommend, only downer would be the low brightness, but if it doesn’t bother you, nothing in this monitor would.
Picture quality is excellent.
Minimal tweaking of settings to get them to run at 144hz.
Great for gaming or just generally having things look better and smoother.
Initially had an issue with one of the screen’s going black for a second or so every now and then, this was most likely due to me using HDMI and Displayport inputs at the same time, (one for each monitor) after switching to Displayport for both screen’s this issue has not returned.
This is a fantastic monitor for the price. The image it produces is vibrant and crisp. The color accuracy is excellent and came well calibrated out of the box. Brightness is very high for an IPS monitor and the monitor is very responsive and extremely smooth at 144Hz refresh rate. The amount of adjustability the monitor has at this price point is another major seller and is usually reserved for higher end monitors.
I can’t recommend this monitor enough, whether your gaming or doing content creation this monitor has you covered at amazing price (180).
Colours really are brilliant in comparison to my old monitor (TN, 75hz), 144hz is really smooth for gaming. Also the monitor is very light and easy to install onto my VESA arm mount.
For CS:GO I had really bad tearing and when crouch jumping it became unplayable. HOWEVER!!
I fixed this issue buy putting “-high -tickrate 128 -freq 144″ (without the ” ‘s) into the launch options of CS:GO now it works great!
I recommend buying this especially when its selling for cheap (Bought mine for 169.99, 6 February 2020)
Butter smooth visuals and instant response makes this a dream to FPS games on. 144hz with Nvidia G-sync enabled is like hyperspeed compared to my 60hz monitor. The fact that its 1080p makes it easier to push out 144fps.
I had to tweak the colour, mine was VERY green and also red. SO I have Blue on 50, green on 40 and red on 45.
Note that the colour gamut is very wide, so colours look very vivid so red can tend to look a bit pink-ish but not very much so. Compared to my Professional Dell IPS monitor this is vibrant and colours really pop.
I love that you can add a cross-air to the monitor so when sniping you dont need to zoom in, you just aim with the monitors cross-air.
Would I recommend this monitor? Yes absolutely yes.
Only con would be the integrated speaker are very weak and can get distortion at high volume. But honestly for the price, I would argue this is one of the best in its class.

This is exactly what I wanted in a monitor and I was prepared to pay more to get it. This being as cheap as it is is a steal! Thin bezels and there was no defects on my panel.
Initial impressions after a couple of weeks, really pleased, an enormous upgrade over the old Dell IPS and BenQ TN I upgraded from.
I was concerned after reading all of the great reviews online (rockpapershotgun go into some depths on this monitor, worth reading) that the stand looked a bit tacky and GAMER for my taste but it’s actually quite nice and subtle in person – also very stable, my previous monitors would wobble a little if there was some hard typin’ going on.
Love the monitor itself have no issues with it, all images move clean and the colour is great, but the stand is way to big and a terrible shape, I have to turn it the whole way to the left so that its not obstructing my mouse or my keyboard, as when normal the stand is going right under my mouse pad and its not like I dont have alot of room I have a pretty big desk.
Great picture quality, great refresh rate, no backlight bleed or IPS glow. Comes with both a DP cable and HDMI cable.
Default configuration are perfect (except its a bit too bright imo and no overdrive configured) and there are many more to tinkle with.
With the price tag its just perfect!
