> 3 daySo while I noticed a lot of reviews have dead pixels, so far Im not among them. While this particular monitor doesnt have all the bells and whistles youd might expect on a higher end panel, there is a distinct lack of ghosting, which Im very happy with. Theres some dimming on edges, but its not dramatic and it pairs well with my Samsung 4k QLED monitor, right out of the box. The brightness is good, not so terrible that it melts the eyes out of their sockets, but not so dim that dark colors in game dont lose too much detail. Keep in mind, this isnt a panel featuring HDR, so you wont get extremely high definition shadows, but all in all, you are paying a good price at around $300 for this model. Oh, and VESA mounting is pretty much necessary. the default stand is pretty rigid, but it does come with some rather sketchy looking stand-offs for the VESA mount conversion, and so far it isnt sagging under the considerable weight of this 32 inch beast, so thats pretty impressive. The only real improvement Id ask for is a USB slot, but otherwise, this somewhat spartan gaming panel is perfect for higher-end, mid range rigs running 5700XT or RTX 2070 level graphics cards.

> 3 dayOk, for the money this is one of the best 1440p monitors I could have bought! The model I purchased was the GNV27DB. Pros- 144hz (using the included dp cable) Amazing picture quality no dead pixels to be found awesome customer support (had a few questions about product) packaging was top notch (Ace Ventura could have delivered this monitor and im sure it would have been fine lol) cons- back cover broke the first day (covers where the inputs go plastic felt cheap or I was to heavy handed.) after being in standby mode it stutters from on and off. taking out and putting back in the power cord does the trick. color is off and needs to be calibrated So with the color issue and text looking funny I spent $20 U.S. and bought a cheap color sensor from ebay. downloading display cal for free and 15 minute calibration seems to have readily done the trick. im sure using a more expensive tool would have given me better results but, Im on a budget. Ill do a more extensive calibration tonight when I get home. Games look amazing on this monitor! I play in full definition 1440p and all max settings and has easily been one of the best upgrades Ive made since my computer build. Ill be in touch with Viotek tomorrow and will update the rating if they can sort out my issues.

Greater than one weekMy monitor works just fine. If you’re on the fence about it and are looking for better than the baseline but not top of the line, I’d say go for it. I picked it because it was a good value for a curved monitor. Personally, I love it. I never thought I could afford a “fancy” monitor, though this was still a little out of my price range. I don’t use it for gaming, unfortunately, so can’t speak to that, but videos and documents look great on it. No missing pixels. HDMI cord (not included) had some problems staying connected - could be an issue with the monitor’s port but I’m not sure. The little tabs on the back plastic panel broke off when I was first putting it together, but that was my fault probably, and doesn’t really make a difference (just exposes the cords in the back a bit). Despite these concerns, I’m still quite happy with the purchase.

> 3 dayI threw this away a couple months ago & didnt decide to leave a review until now. Basically, I purchased this monitor & within 2 months there was 3 deadlines on the top of my monitor that would glitch out every time I tried using it. It was not a GPU/CPU/PC issue as I tried this on MULTIPLE computers & received the exact same issue. When contacting support I was told they would fix it but I would have to pay for the shipping for them to fix it. As much as I can understand WHY I had to- I already spent MONEY on this monitor assuming it would work properly. Overall, bad product in my eyes which really sucks because before this I LOVED Viotek. In fact, I still use their 24inch 144fps as my daily driver.

> 3 dayIve bought multiple viotek monitors for myself and others in the past and I stand by them. If you play with the settings you can get the color just right. Used for gaming this is one of the best price vs performance brands on the market. There is better quality out there but for the price you cant argue with viotek.
