AOPEN by Acer 27HC5R Pbiipx 27 1500R Curved Full HD (1920 x 1080) VA Gaming Monitor with AMD Radeon FREESYN

I have a 1500$ monitor and this one looks better my gf is very happy and is looking to buy a 2nd one just like it

I can’t tell you how much I love this Monitor it’s so amazing and I can’t believe it’s so cheap!!! The 27” is so amazing and huge! I highly highly suggest! Don’t miss out on this!

Would buy again

Within 5 minutes of plugging the monitor in, I got a really high pitched noise that would not stop. I had to revert all the display settings for the noise to stop. So basically the settings are pointless since it just makes the high pitch noise when you adjust them.

Cant change refresh rate when using included DP cable and the screen keeps going black, but HDMI lets me change refresh rate to 120hz and seems to be stable. Not sure if its faulty or not. UPDATE 6/17/22 the monitor glass is now separating from the frame along the top. the actual monitor picture is not affected yet, but i do see the light display now where the glass is separating. Picture is still pretty good, but they definitely use cheap parts for this monitor. Would not buy again.

This monitor is insane. The deal on this monitor is amazing for 165hz and sync. I would 1,000% recommend this to anyone!

My life was one way and now it is another. All jokes aside, I was pleasantly surprised when I received this monitor. The quality is top notch. I get compliments all the time on the curvature and picture quality. When gaming, I turn freesync premium on even though I have an rtx 2060 and the gaming performance visual is amazing. 165hz is plenty, I cant really tell the difference from this and a 240hz monitor (your wallet will feel the difference though lol). It has overdrive, many many picture and vid customization options, fps counter in monitor and even monitor crosshairs for fps games. So glad I made this purchase and the price was nice.

In case anybody is curious about this monitor. There isnt a lot of information online about it. Fire Legend: Big and not too expensive. Got mine for 438 with tax and prime shipping. Its not listed anywhere but its gsync compatible. Also not listed anywhere it has 2 levels of motion blur reduction with the backlight strobe. Also not listed anywhere (seeing a pattern here) it has a form of local dimming when HDR is activated. There is about 16-20 vertical zones. On an all black background you can see each zone light up as you move the mouse. Coming from a monitor that is a level below HDR400, I thought that was pretty cool. Also not listed anywhere you can enable 10 bit color at 144hz in the Nvidia control panel. I see no difference between 8 and 10 bit, but maybe somebody will find that info useful. I feel like this has a better contrast ratio than most IPS panels Ive seen lately. I have no way of measuring this. It just looks really nice. HDR actually looks like its doing something in BFV and Doom Eternal. No dead pixels so far. Back light bleed exists but its not terrible. Fyre Festival: Motion blur reduction dims screen too much on its most aggressive setting making it almost useless. There is a medium setting that is brighter but less crisp. Cant use it with Gsync enabled. Not the fastest panel out there. Using blur busters UFO test its not as clear as the 200hz 30inch MSI ultrawide this is replacing. Its not terrible, Ive just seen faster. The stand sucks. The monitor isnt level after mounting it to the stand. Confirmed this with my bubble level. I put a little felt adhesive circle under the right side monitor base and it sits perfectly level now. Such a stupid problem to have when everything else is really good. **UPDATE April 6th 2023** While I still enjoy using the monitor a few issues have popped up. Sometimes one of the dimming zones sometimes gets stuck. So if your using HDR than there will be one vertical zone that is dark while the others are lit. It looks as bad as it sounds. The other issue is that sometimes the monitor will crash and you have to completely power it off or wait for it to recover to get video again. These issues are VERY intermittent but they are a PITA when they do happen. Knocking off a star for now.

The curved glass detached from frame on top , 90% except corners, i siliconed it. I think the glue they used is not good enough, after 10 months this happened. I think picture quality is good. My first cureved LCD and this happened..

Took me a few minutes longer than Id like to get the 165hz activated in the control panel, but its buttery smooth. The downside here is the PPI, it is a 1080p monitor on a 27 inch panel. But I hardly notice and the refresh rate is amazing. I highly recommend.
