  • Panels are inconsistent.
Have had this monitor for 2 years. I use it for both my pc and Xbox. I will evaluate how it looks on both of those separately. Pc: the colors are vibrant and consistent with both games and media consumption. I even use it to type things and the words do not look blurry. I haven’t noticed any ghosting or tearing with any of the games I play. For context play apex, Valorant and rpg games. They all look amazing. The only issue I have is the built in speakers. They’re very low even when at max volume so I suggest using a mic and connecting ur earbuds to that or using the headphone Jack on the monitor. Xbox: I have noticed ghosting when I watch Netflix or any videos I have no idea why but I’m gonna assume it’s bc Xbox caps things at 60fps. The image can be blurry at times with media consumption even if my net and such is fine. Games tho, those seem fine. Again Xbox caps at 60fps but I haven’t noticed tearing or ghosting when I play my console games. The colors look nice and consistent too. There is a difference in how the contrast, and richness of the colors look on xbox vs pc. I’d recommend this monitor for people with a pc since on Xbox the colors aren’t as bright and rich but they don’t look terrible. If on console I’d say use it for games only and not any media. For pc, I love it for everything. Price: I bought this in 2021 and it was $266 including taxes. I’d say it was worth it since it’s still going strong and I haven’t a dead pixel or anything go wrong with it. I will say, the panels are inconsistent. I bought my brother one two months after I made my purchase and his panel looked blurry and not rich in color. I’d say I got lucky and got one with a good panel. So it’s a 50/50 chance you’ll get a good one or a bad one. ... show more

  • Very Satisfied (165hz 0.5ms)
Arrived in good condition, simple to set up, very clean and simple look, very nice stand. Amazing features for the price, does not cheap out on anything important (I bought on sale for $240): Works easily with G-Sync, 165hz, 0.5ms response time, IPS, great colors, good brightness, very good quality screen as well as the overall build. If anyone is wanting to go above 60hz or buy a higher refresh rate monitor at this price, I definitely recommend this one, it’s just so clean, has 165hz AND 0.5ms response time (very important) and looks great and visually appealing. Hope this helps :) ... show more

  • G-Sync capable, good quality at good price
It's a 165hz monitor. It's large at 27in, anything bigger would really start to look bad at 1080p and up close. Works well, the base is sturdy and height is adjustable. Always inspect for dead pixels and other issues when having a tv or monitor shipped to you, use the Amazon Prime A-Z returns guarantee promptly because most companies now have policies where they will not replace a monitor if it has only one or two dead pixels. Amazon has their guarantee though so go through them first if you can. Only minor downside with this monitor is it came out of the package with poor picture settings. I had to tinker with the settings way more with this one than with any other one I ever had prior by a long shot but this is again a minor downside. Once you get it dialed in you won't have to deal with it again. I started by choosing a preset setting that looked closest to how I had my old monitor was set up and then went from there. Expect this process to take a day or two as you adjust it to your surroundings and your eyes. For me brightness had to be toned down quite a lot, and the Trace Free setting needs to be dropped to 40 or below otherwise you will have ghosting/blurring issues with text when scrolling or browsing online. This is an issue I never knew about because I never had a monitor that could go faster than 60hz, so hopefully I save someone some time on that. It has actual buttons you have to press in, not those crappy tactile sensors you touch on accident and the monitor shuts off. Color quality is not quite as good as an IPS screen but it's still very good, the higher refresh rate makes up for the barely noticeable loss in color and if you take the time with your settings you will never notice it. Viewing angle is much larger than any of my previous Acer IPS monitors (but those were in a completely different price range at either $90 or $120 for 22in and 24in) and my wife has no problems looking at something on my screen even from a very oblique angle. Very happy with this purchase as long as the monitor doesn't break down. I care for my equipment and protect it with quality surge protectors, proper maintenance and cleaning etc. I still have computers and monitors from the early 90's working in my basement. The only reason things die on me is hardware fault from the manufacturer such as a bad solder working loose on it's own or age-related stress such as fan bearings getting old and hard-drives which are essentially time bombs holding your data hostage. I will take proper care of this monitor and will update this review in the future if there are any problems or give an update if it's still running as it should. ... show more
