The IPS monitor for most gamers
I’ve been a gamer for many years, but I don’t play competitive PC games as much as I used to. This IPS panel meets all of my requirements: Great picture, high refresh rate, a good native resolution for high FPS without needing an absolute beast PC. The speakers are the only weakness, but I would only ever consider using built-in speakers as a temporary backup. The frame doesn’t feel too plasticky and it doesn’t look bad. The physical buttons seemed a little awkward at first, but I got used to them fairly quickly. The options on the OSD menus provide more than enough settings for me. I doubt I’ll ever need the “GamePlus” features.The only complaint I have is small: I prefer to have the monitor completely unpowered when my computer is off. I can do this using my UPS set to “green” mode and then plugging the monitor into the “green” outIet. Here’s the problem: The monitor does not “wake-up” out of low-power mode until the computer reaches the OS login screen. My older monitors don’t have this problem. I can live with this and it doesn’t change my opinion of the monitor, but it is enough of a hassle (such as when I need to boot into the BIOS settings) that I no longer use this monitor in the “green” outlet.Quality control: The first monitor I received had an issue of horizontal artifacts appearing randomly. This reminded me of the screen noise you might see when a power tool or vacuum cleaner is plugged into the same circuit; at least on older televisions. Amazon support was fast and professional with the handling of the return and refund.Other: When I wanted to reorder this monitor (I liked what I saw, defect aside), it was only available from 3rd-party sellers. The monitor wasn’t shipped in an additional shipping box like the first order which was sold and fulfilled by Amazon. The second monitor didn’t survive whatever nightmare FedEx put it through. The box had holes in it and the panel was smashed. I returned it immediately for a refund. Maybe an additional shipping box would have given the monitor enough added protection. My *third* attempt to order this monitor through the Amazon site (direct from Amazon or 3rd party seller) was fruitless. it was unavailable directly from Amazon, the net cost had gone up by at least $60 from 3rd party sellers, and none of the sellers I contacted said they provide additional shipping protection. My third attempt to buy this monitor ended up being from my local Frys which cost the same as my first order. I ordered it for in-store pickup the next day. There have been no problems with this one and I’m very happy with it!After a few days, ended up using the following settings for day-to-day work/gaming:: [First reset to defaults] GameVisual: FPS Mode, Brightness 23, Contrast: 80, Saturation: 38, Color Temp: User Mode: R94, G93, B100.

Most underrated gaming monitor at the moment
I’d argue this is one of the best gaming monitors money can buy and for the price it’s an absolute steal.This is currently the highest refresh rate monitor that is larger than 28 inches and it’s a worthwhile difference compared to 240hz. At 32 inches game elements are much bigger compared to 24 or 27inch monitors which makes it easier to aim and hit headshots in games like cs2, and overall allows for a more immersive experience no matter the game, especially with the curved panel.It’s also 1440p rather than 4k which still looks great on 32 inches. You are actually able to hit the max refresh rate of the monitor on many games without the need to lower your settings or have a 5090 which makes this a great monitor for native res players.Historically VA panels have been avoided for gaming due to the slow pixel response times but this monitor is very fast for a VA panel and is equivalent or even better than the gaming IPS panels that currently flood the market. However with this monitor you also get amazing contrast compared to an IPS so it’s easier to spot enemies in game and overall the monitor looks so much nicer compared to an ips or tn. Highly recommend this monitor!

Beautiful monitor with a fantastic refresh rate and great brightness for gaming. The one thing I would note is that 1080p is a bit of a stretch on such a large monitor (27″), so unless you’re on a budget or have older hardware in your PC, you might want to consider getting a 1440p screen instead for better future-proofing. This monitor is still fantastic though.

Excelente, llego en perfecto estado, hice las pruebas y ni tiene ningun pixel muerto o fuga de luz
