1. The colours are outstanding. Please don't let people throw you off by remarking on a pinkish hue. For me, I've not noticed it. Colors look vibrant, darks are indeed dark and all that jazz. How this translates for you most likely:
+you want to play games way too long,
+watch movies for way too long,
+sink hours upon hours needlessly web surfing.
Why? Just cuz. The screen looks that freaking amazing! And you can't believe it costs under $300.
Then there's the stand. It's proven more useful than I would have predicted. Sometimes I like to feel super official and read my kindle books on a bigger size screen - especially for DK books or you know, those cool "coffee-table" kind of books I think they are called. Anyway, this monitor is AMAZING for that. I thought adjusting the screen to different orientations would prove more challenging and keep me from wanting to do it often, but not at all. Luckily it doesn't take massive strength or strain or anything to move the monitor around, and sometimes that allows for experimentation using your monitor in ways that you may not even realized you'd appreciate. Again, for me, that's proven true in regards to reading kindle books on this monitor. I think I'd now ALWAYS prioritize having a useful, functional stand. I know that monitor arms are a thing, but for some of us, we just want to buy the monitor and be able to use it for as long as possible without having to buy anything else ;) With this, you have one of the very best monitor stands I could imagine.
I also want to mention the warranty - a 3 YEAR WARRANTY that goes so far as to cover ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE in the first year. Now that is value unparalleled, and provided that they folow through on those promises to the customer, it's really hard for me to recommend anything else. To anyone who is shopping on a budget but wants something that doesn't feel budget WHATSOEVER, I'd say go this route.
When I was monitor shopping, I tried an array of different monitors. Initially I was going for a 42 inch monitor, trying to go for the "best of the best". The Gigabyte Aorus 43vu, for instance, is a great monitor as is the LG C3 in that size category. I tried 34" and 32" inch monitors. Interestingly, even if price wasn't a consideration, I'd still argue that this 27 inch screen provides the better QUALITY and VALUE, which is kind of crazy to be getting both things at once, you know? I kept thinking that a 27 inch screen wouldn't be as "fun" as a bigger screen, but as it turns out, for gaming from a desk, I will now ALWAYS choose 27 inches over 32 inches and anything bigger. Basically, I was wrong thinking bigger translates to a more enjoyable experiencd. ! I know these are specific details, but there may be someone else out there going, hey! I love this monitor, but it's ONLY 27 inches! I can't tell you for sure that it is enough, but for me, the 27 vs 32 inch monitor debate ends with the 27 being the clear choice. Compared to the 43 and 42 inch sized monitors, I definitely prefer gaming on this 27 inch monitor too, I occasionally game on the bigger television I own. I so prefer gaming on the 27.
Look, I don't want to encourage anyone to buy this who is gonna hate it. I'm sorry if this love letter to this monitor leads you astray and your experiences end up different than mine. But for real, if you want to skip skimming all the reddit forums and the few reviews you can find on this monitor, just take this recommendation. I came in to this skeptical and am seriously blown away.
Let me address a couple of things I was worried about:
+it being too big, too thick. It isn't. For me, it's perfect. It doesn't remind me of the 1990 CRTV days, and the depth it does have...it just feels right for the picture it creates, as strange as that is to say that way. I have a desk depth of 30 inches. I'll try to upload photos later in case that will help someone determine if it seems too big.
2. pinkish hue: totally don't see it. Nothing distracts, nothing makes me go oh, this monitor has a bad picture. It's good. For the money, it's great! You could tell me this should cost someone $600, and I'd believe it. It performs far above its asking price.
Think about that. How often do you buy something that feels really like it should cost twice the price even?
Not often enough! Do yourself a favor! Go for it.
(To everyone who wants to make a size matters joke, ditto. Enjoy your day and this review!)
-HDR looks fantastic, especially in games. The inherent contrast of VA panels allows for an HDR image that's better than most IPS FALD panels out there with twice the number of dimming zones.
With the right settings and content, bloom is very minimal and the brightness is retina-melting. I tested my unit at 1372nits, that's darn near HDR1400 territory.
Does it do fine contrast detail as well as my Sony OLED TV? Of course not, but never having to worry about image burn-in is worth the trade-off.
-Great pixel response times for a VA panel. There is very little of the dark pixel smearing that's common with most VA panels. You used to have to pay $600 for something like the Samsung Odyssey to have remotely decent VA pixel response, but this panel is nearly as good, at half the price.
-SDR looks great after proper calibration. You don't really want to be using this monitor (or any local-dimming monitor, for that matter) in HDR mode while browsing a PC desktop. Still images, text and icons just won't look good on anything less than per-pixel dimming. Follow a guide on proper settings and ICC profiles, and it will look great with local dimming turned off.
-I have some minor complaints about the OSD and lack of finer settings, but at this price it's kind of hard to complain. I was particularly surprised by how nice the stand was at this price range. The monitor can be positioned easily, and there is very little wobbly.
If you want to experience true HDR for under $300, I just don't think anything else exists out there right now. This is it, and it comes with a surprisingly small amount of downsides for the cost.
I really can't express how good this monitor is especially considering the price. I'm coming from the Dell S2721DGF (IPS panel, 1440p 27") and I do NOT regret getting this monitor at all. It's just great! No more IPS glow, inky blacks. The pros just outweigh the few cons this monitor has. I have not experienced any VRR flickering, black smearing and the response times are great.
The only bad visual thing I have noticed are "scanlines" and they really only appear in bright solid colors liked red and blue but you won't notice this while gaming and the lines will blend in as long as your face isn't 1 foot from the screen.
I finished the last half of Detroit: Become Human on this monitor and it was absolutely gorgeous. The game is very dark and can also get very bright and really let this monitor show what it is capable of.
Overall it's great and if you're on a budget this monitor is fantastic. You don't even have to be on a budget to get this, if you just want a great experience that is cheap, or don't want to spent hella $$$ on OLED, this is for you.
PROS:
- Good 1440p picture quality and noticed no difference in quality from my previous monitor.
- HDR1000 (Jaw dropping and literal eye squinting brightness. If you ever wanted to get flashbanged in real life this monitor can do that for you. My unit maxes at about 1100-1200 nits with HDR and LD on.)
- Local Dimming (Very well done, you can get inky blacks with this on and there is surprisingly little bloom.)
- VRR/Adaptive Sync
- Native Contrast (about 4000:1)
- 180hz refresh rate
- Monitor stand (Tilt, pivot, swivel, rotation. This stand has it all.)
- 4k downscaled to 1440p on consoles (Xbox will allow you to choose 4K UHD to allow you to use the HDR10 feature!)
- Mini-LED (No burn in, while still getting a decently close experience to an OLED)
CONS:
- Not the best OSD with terrible button controls. (You'll most likely accidentally press the power button your first few tries)
- Pink/red hue out of the box. (Look at Rtings review on this and the color calibration portion will tell you how to fix it)
- HDMI 2.0 (Doesn't really matter to me as I don't even have a new gen console.)
- No USB ports
Top reviews from other countries
To get the most out of it I recommend setting:
overdrive to strong or medium
HDR Picture mode for games
adaptive sync on
low input lag on
color temp to either warm or normal (whatever looks better to you)
eco mode standard
game sync off
refresh rate 165
If you don't like the color balance set color temp to User RGB and tweak manually.
When HDR is on many settings don't do anything because it is controlling them. When HDR is off I recommend:
gamma 3
game color 11 (or 10 for more neutral colors)
shadow control 50 (40 is you want deep blacks and shadows)
contrast 46-54 whatever looks better to you, 50 is good
low blue light to whatever setting you want (multimedia is the least yellow and reading is the most)
DCB off
DCR off
Contrast works almost like another brightness slider and can be used to boost the max brightness or lower the min.
