Great monitor and features for the price

I just picked up 2 of these. I’m running them on my i7 5820k clocked to 3.8ghz, on a gtx1080 both hooked up with DisplayPort cables.

First off they come packaged very well, double boxed. Stands are sturdy but I mounted mine to a dual monitor vesa mount.

The case of the monitor leaves something to be desired but nothing that’s terribly noticeable. I have no dead or muted pixels on either monitor.

Biggest thing I had to adjust was the gamma, the rgb ratio was decent, Nvidia experience does a decent job if you let it do it. If you’re a true videophile you’ll be spending a little time adjusting no matter what monitor you get. Backlight bleed is very minimal, AHVA and IPS panels are subject to it but I have very little.

The 144hz is good on these though they are a FreeSync and I’m running an Nvidia card and thus can’t utilize the FreeSync I have little to no screen tearing or ghosting, most of that has to do with your gpu anyways but ghosting and artifact I haven’t noticed any yet. I played, PUBG, ESO and some R6 Siege all of which played good with the resolution and 144hz, carried 140-143hz consistent on optimized games. In points of large combat 90hz Except for pubg which was down in the 80-100 range and it’s a terribly unoptimized game, yet again most of this has to do with your gpu but I didn’t get any ghosting when snapping to shoot or fast movements which points to a very realistic 1ms response or close to it. They have good input detection as I switched from my pc to Mac (pc through DisplayPort Mac through HDMI ). Speakers are atrocious but lost of us use headsets or external speakers anyways so that want a deterrent for me.

As these are 1st impressions as I have not used these many hours yet and just got my office (fortress of solitude) completed I will say for the price point I highly suggest them. Pixio is another well reviewed off brand monitor but for the same Ahva type panel and specs you are paying around $100 more so if you’re looking to save money and get a pretty darn good performing monitor pull the trigger on the Monoprice
