I’ve been on the hunt for a midrange curved gaming monitor that wouldn’t break the bank. The curve on this monitor is perfect as some are too aggressive. Likewise 31.5” is the sweet spot (IMO) as there are some ultra wide panels that look too “thin”, this one doesn’t have that at all. If you have an AMD CPU/GPU desktop this will definitely work in your favor. Just remember to set the Display monitor settings to 180hz as the default is 144hz. I’ve only had the monitor for three days with light gaming but I’m very pleased with it. Coming from a 1080P 60hz monitor, this was definitely a major improvement. Granted, you need a very decent GPU to get the frames and definition as advertised.

First, I would like to counter another review that claimed this monitor doesn’t show support for 180Hz refresh on an RTX GPU. It does in fact show support for 180Hz if the appropriate conditions are met:

1) You must use the Nvidia Control Panel (or AMD equivalent if using a Radeon GPU) to see this option readily available. Otherwise, 180Hz is considered an “overclock” refresh, and you’ll have to set it up manually if using Windows’ display settings.

2) You must use a video cable that supports higher refresh rates. Not all Displayport or HDMI cables are created equally, and older or lower quality cables only support lower refresh rates due to data transfer limitations.

Personally, I think this is a good gaming monitor… but it’s not a great or perfect monitor. While this monitor does come with both a Displayport and an HDMI cable, the cables are a bit short (~5ft) for my needs. My PC doesn’t sit directly next to the screen, so this required me to obtain a slightly longer cable. Also, I really don’t like the cable ports on the monitor itself, as they face downward at the bottom of the monitor. This limits how low you can adjust your screen without using a 90-degree adapter, and makes the cable scrunched up and visible during normal use. As for the display itself, the colors, blacks, brightness, response time, and smoothness (at 180Hz) are good… just don’t go expecting it to look like an OLED. All said, I’m happy with the monitor, and I’m only detracting 1 star for the ports/cable issues.

I picked this up locally on a whim because I’m going to be working out of town for a bit. I do all my PC gaming on my 77″ 120hz LG OLED I got from Costco. So, going from that to this Monitor I can say I’m still very impressed, I turned the brightness down to 50 and mostly eliminated light bleed you always get from VA panels, then turned the contrast up to 70ish with a warm color tone, its quite rich. The response time, color and brightness @50 are very nice, I have no noticeable motion blur or controller lag. It can do 180hz a setting called Overdrive but 165hz is plenty for me, also 1440p is perfect for a 32″ screen, very clear. I really like the curvature too. I’m using the Display Port from a RTX 4090, haven’t tried HDMI yet, I was concerned with the fact it doesn’t say G-sync anywhere but I’m getting VRR no problem. I just reinstalled the geforce graphics drivers and set the proper G-Sync settings in Nvidia Control panel and Windows activated VRR automatically. The micro stutter (frame time) from games like Hogwarts is mostly gone especially around Hogsmead and Hogwarts, it still hitches when you roll into a new area but everything is so much smoother than what my 120hz LG OLED can give, and same goes for Cyberpunk, Alan Wake 2 etc. I would say its the extra 45hz of overhead countering 1% lows. Speakers are good for being 2 watts and good enough if you don’t have any speakers or headphones handy. I’m very happy with this monitor.

Exactly what the description says. For anyone in the reviews saying that you’re not getting the 180hz, you need to make sure that you’re using a DP cable. An HDMI cable will only run you 144hz. Also, make sure to enable HDR on the monitor itself if Windows is giving you issues!

Absolutely love my dual monitors, the curvature is perfect.

This is quite a nice monitor, especially as it has built in speakers, 2 x HDMI and a Display Port, but… For one the stand is way to big, takes up a huge amount of room at the back and more at the front, so if you have a desk that is not very deep.. Secondly the refresh rate on a new RTX GPU only shows support for 144Hz, not 180hz.

Superb monitor. Very crisp. Mounted easily to a stand I bought for my Peloton Tread so I could do emails whilst I walk. 5* of 5

Good price good condition. Worth to own.
