> 24 hourThis monitor, has very little info available online. As so I will share what I have learned. FreeSync, Depends on what your Refresh rate is set at. Radeon settings claims 30-60hz when the RR is at 60. at 120hz (HDMI MAX) its 90-120hz and at 144hz its 90-144hz. Ive had freesync disabled since the first time I played a game on them! I see really bad blinking any time its enabled and the game nears 100 or lower fps. If you can not push 120+ all day I wouldnt recommend this monitor for its freesync features. Other then that I love my monitors. I bought two to sit side my side. I did buy an extra Display Port cable in fear it might not come with one due to the conflicting answers on different sites about it. Although it did however come with a DP cable it was only about 3 feet long and would not reach the far monitor. Because I run an older card I only have one Display port on my gpu so my other monitor runs on HDMI at 120hz. One at 144hz and one at 120hz with a game stretched across both with freesync enabled (AND WORKING) with the game locked at 120fps it looks flawless can not tell the difference. I do recommend putting them in the FPS setting straight out of the box it will limit the blacks a bit but makes other colors pop! as well as increasing the contrast a bit..

> 24 hourMan this is a really good monitor for the price. 144hz is so amazingly smooth and the contrast and color depth is great. It even comes with BOTH a Displayport and HDMI cable. This has to be the best [curved] 1080p 144hz monitor you can get for the price. Some may not like that its small, but it makes it less noticeable to see pixels when playing games on smaller res like 900p, 720p, etc.

> 24 hour-NO Flicker at 144hz, which is excellent because a previous monitor (Sceptre) Had noticable flicker. -1ms response time is great for gaming, especially for man who plays First Person Shooters, and IS NOTICABLE if your used to playing on an out-dated plasma or cheap LCD that may be at 6ms, 8ms, or even higher. -VA panel, in my opinion, is the better panel technology. -The color, is as advertised. though I wasnt able to test the screens color with an actual device, I must say that it does have decent color. and by decent, I mean, Looks much nicer than all the other monitors in the entire house. -Nice Monitor, Decent stand (even tho I dont use it) with mount that pivots up and down. Didnt use either DP Or HDMI cables that it came with So Im unsure of the quality, your best off buying a High-end cable if your like me wanting 144hz. -Has a 3 prong power cable much alike a PSU power cable, no bulky box. -UnFortunately When It arrived, I immediately noticed a SERIES of dead pixels grouped together just a few inches off from the center of the screen. I Might say it is rather dissapointing but not worth the whole return process, even tho it is about 4-5 pixels all together. -it only has 120hz and 144hz for Displayport, So if you want 100hz, an HDMI cable must be used. -NO VISA MOUNT. You will have to buy an adapter for roughly $20-$30. I on the otherhand simply modified my vesa stand (drilled two holes in the metal part) and Saved myself spending an outrageous amount of money for some 3D printed piece of plastic. -WRAP UP: going from 60hz-144hz is incredible. EVEN if your NOT a gamer, 144hz is totally beneficial because scrolling and mouse movement (generally any movement on screen at all) is CONSIDERABLY much smoother and just generally looks better You Will NEVER go back, trust me. This is most certainly a good monitor at a good price. So even if you dont get this peticular monitor, 144hz is the way to go. I took two stars for the Dead Pixels.

> 24 hourWorked great for abt a year then started to give me these lines running accross the screen whenever i use 144hz for abt 3-7 min. After a while it goes away and its a normal monitor. Still very annoying when im ready to game but i have to wait for what seems like an eternity for it to warm up.

> 24 hourDecent Monitor for price, monitor came with 2 dead pixels directly next to eachother that I noticed recently. Going to attempt to get a refund/replacement. Already tried to get a refund before I noticed them, they said no. Lets see if they care about the defective pixels. Overall the 144 refresh rate is wonderful, I highly recommend making the jump if you are on 60, or 75. XFX AMD GPUs tend to have a horrible stutter, (every 3 seconds for 1 second) which I believe was fixed in the latest driver version, I no longer own the XFX card, but have been helping redditors solve the issue, to a success. The workaround seems to be : DDU drivers, Install 17.x and then update to 18/19.x This is my first time writing a non 5 star review on amazon, which sucks. Another redditor claimed to receieve a dead pixel on his unit, which they replaced. Still a great monitor for those who want to experience high refresh rates at a great price.

> 24 hourThis monitor is advertised as 144hz but only goes up to 120hz, this monitor is great for gaming not too small or too big,
