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

I purchased two of these monitors. If I just had 1, Id leave a 5-star review. I bought 2 of them and, of course, they are side by side. If I open up identical web pages and have the monitors on the same settings, the colors/brightness do not match.

Worth the buy

The Display Port cable that is included is very short, and so is the power cable. You will need to mess with the color setting in your GPU settings to get things comfortable. Windows recognizes this immediately as 165hz so no settings need to be changed. Great Value for the money.

Could have had 5 stars had the screen not come unglued from the rear frame. Its not terribly distracting but is a flaw, none the less. If I push it together, it will stay for a little while but always comes apart again. Only happened on one of the two screens purchased. Sep20 Update: thinking I could squeeze the top and get it to stick together and the monitor is now trash. I’ll go for a different brand on the next one.

This monitor is impressive true blacks, no artifacts, smooth and fast with great features. currently using with a Mac Studio and for video and photo editing I feel its amazing. would LOVE a second one. hum, maybe soon.

Thank you

When I playing video games, it somehow turned dark and takes a few seconds to recover, not recommend for gaming.

Had to request a refund and order again. The two monitors that Amazon sent looked like the monitor I wanted to buy but were only 75 hertz and were missing the display port in the back. They came with old vga inputs.,

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.

I dont know how it happened but this monitor didnt come with a screw for me to stand my monitor on. Please help
