There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My research led me to believe I should go with a fast response TN panel. Honestly, as a moderate - hardcore gamer, this VA monitor has no issues at all. The colors look better than a TN and it smoothly runs Destiny 2, Overwatch, FFXIV, Apex Legends, and similar games at 2K with high quality. I do not notice any ghosting, motion blur, or other issues.
White monitors are hard to find, and I love the sleek, clean cut, minimalist design of this monitor. The curvature is a nice bonus, but not necessary. At this price point, I feel this monitor is a great value.
As other reviews have stated, there is one glaring issue: the stand. There are no height adjustments, and the slight tilt allowed does not always hold due to he screen weight. The stand juts out further under the screen, so for someone with a small desk like me, it’s not so easy to deal with. There are adaptors you can buy and install for a new stand later on though.
If you’re on the fence for a sleek looking 2k gaming monitor for a decent price, this is definitely worth the buy. Freesync is a nice bonus, and hopefully my new Nvidia card will be supported soon. Oh, and 144hz is amazing if you can hit it at 2k. 1080p looks good too on this monitor, but not as sharp being a 27” vs a 24”. If you have to run 1080p to increase performance, it’s still acceptable.
UPDATE (8/29/19):
As of yesterday, the monitor has dimmed to the point where I can barely see the screen and has not gotten brighter since. The monitor's brightness setting is all the way up, drivers are all up to date, multiple restarts of the monitor have not fixed the issue, and I know it is an issue with the monitor because I plugged the DisplayPort cable into another monitor I have and the picture was bright and perfect. I have two monitors (one ASUS and then this one) and only this one is having issues. I contacted Viotek customer support earlier today and I am waiting on a response. Was 5 stars but is now 2 stars (rather than 1 star) because I still have hope that this issue can be fixed. If anybody has any tips or ideas, I'm open to them. Thanks!
UPDATE (10/17/19):
Just received a brand new monitor after sending my broken one in because my old one was defective. New one works great so far! :)
Great customer service experience!

CONS
- Speakers are okay. And that’s if you’re in a quiet room. Otherwise, they’re honestly laughable.
- About 4cm away from the bottom bezel across the screen, there’s a slight gray haze. Doesn’t effect performance and it’s only noticeable when you’re looking for it
- Stand doesn’t seem to hold onto the VESA mount perfectly and so it kinda wiggles when pushing buttons.
- Bottom of the monitor gets kinda hot (not a big deal)
- Bezels are not as small as advertised (not a big deal)
- Brightness is not the greatest (but I’m usually in a dark room so not a big deal)
PROS
- Price
- 1440p looks AMAZING. Major upgrade from 1080p.
- 144hz is AWESOME. Switching from my XBOX One S to my PC for gaming is like night and day.
- Colors are nice. I was very skeptical here because a lot of reviewers (good and bad) would talk down on the colors. They look perfectly fine to me.
- NO DEAD PIXELS. Should NOT be a pro, but I was very afraid I’d end up with a dead pixel since so many reviewers received a panel with dead pixels.
I removed a star because of the dirty display haze at the bottom. And the laughable speakers, but this is otherwise a perfect display for just about anything.
