> 3 dayIm not a monitor expert. But it is 1440p. It is 165 hertz. It doesnt cost your first born. I like it a lot. Stand is big. Like real big. Be ready for the footprint.

> 3 dayJust received the monitor last night, my initial thoughts were not good. The first thing I did after opening the box was go to set up this monitor for mounting it to a bracket. When you pull the backplate off you have to remove 4 screws that are place holders I assume? This isnt explained well in the instructions but because of where they are and the curve of the monitor you are provided with 4 extension nuts to put in those slots which make it easier for you to mount a bracket to it and create the separation needed. However the set screws on the top and the bottom are at different depths but the extensions are all the same length which when fully tightened the top 2 are longer than the bottom too and it just doesnt seem to work after 15 mins of pure frustration I said screw it and just used the stand provided. I am going to do more reserach today on mounting this to a bracket and update my review. Outside of that the menu is a little confusing at first but once you figure it out its fine, build quality is what you would expect for paying 279 USD you can tell where they skimped on quality for price but honestly its not a big issue like others make it seem on here again for a 32 in 144hz 1440p monitor at this price point what did you expect titanium? Anyway I had no dead pixels but did notice that colors were off when I initially turned on the monitor. After doing a quick windows screen calibration it was good to go (something you have to do for literally any monitor you get). 1ms response time? Dont know where the setting is I have to look around and again this is my initial review picture quality is amazing I have not tested ghosting yet but I put a 3 Start review because I am quite happy but want to get in the settings more and test it on more games before giving a final review. If you are like me and wanted the best (curved) monitor this size at its price point I see no reason not to purchase this item.

> 3 dayEverything is great. Image quality is good and 144hz is such a noticeable difference. I have only 2 gripes though. 1. The stand it comes with SUCKS BAD. It always wants to tip forward. Bad design on that 2. There is visible LED backlighting wash out Overall not bad for the money. Im sure another 300 dollars would fix that though lol Update: had this for a year now and its still working great. I put it on a wall mount exclusively and threw the stand away after it fell forward on my head. It took a decent hit in the center of the screen and it never looked any different. If its on sale for the near 200 mark get this monitor.

> 3 dayWould’ve been an easy 5 star review except for a few minor issues. Main one being the inconvenient placement of the hdmi ports. Anytime I’m switching out cords, I have to hold the monitor in one hand and insert the cord into it with the other. Also the picture messes up every now and then when I turn it on but resolves when I turn it off and on again

> 3 dayAfter only a month the monitor Turns off Randomly. I have multiple monitors. Other AOC monitor is fine. I tried switching ports and cables several times. I updated the Nvidia Drivers. Very disappointed product. Next time I just buy from local store. Walmart or Best Buy. Im Revising my review. Customer Support Replied to my email in less than 2 day and after some minor back and forth they gave me an RMA with Full Return Shipping Paid. So, I cant fault them. All electronics are subject to faulty but the company seems to stand behind there product. Monitor Review for my month of usable is very favorable. Beautiful picture quality 5 out of 5 OSD: 3 out of 5 Mounting : 5 out of 5 very easy to assemble and sturdy mount stand.

> 3 dayGot this monitor as my first ever gaming monitor to try out with my PS5. One of the main reasons for the purchase was of course the 144Hz however, even playing a PS5 game capable of 120Hz, with all of the console performance mode settings turned on etc, this monitor seems to lock at 60Hz for some reason. Im using the PS5 included hdmi cable and have tried a couple others as well. As far as Im aware an HDMI to DP cable (not adapter) isnt really a thing so I cant try that. Not Viotek refund/good conscious credit eligible since purchased from another Amazon retailer when not being sold (at the time) on Viotek Amazon store. Smh... Ive contacted Viotek support and spent about a week getting 0 answers. Being told to use a different cable. Being told there arent any settings I can change on the monitor. Being told to check the PS5 settings. Then after not being given any answers told to ask Playstation. What info will they have on why your monitor wont switch to 120Hz when all of the system settings are ready to send 120Hz? If theres something Ive missed, please someone let me know what I need to do and I can update this product review. Also told I cant get a refund due to not purchasing from Viotek themselves. Kinda makes sense but they didnt offer anything at all in lieu of this monitor not performing as listed. Only reason I spend the money with them.

> 3 dayThe monitor itself has no issues from what I can tell, being true to itself: a curved 1440p 165hz gaming monitor. Thats why this isnt 1 or 2 stars The main issue I have is that my DisplayPort suddenly went out without any sort of help (rough movements, voltage changes, etc) and Ive only had this monitor for 4 months. Luckily I was able to use one of the TWO HDMI ports on the back to get it back up and running again. Why theres two HDMI and not two DisplayPorts is beyond me. Mind you, through HDMI, these monitors only reach 75hz, LESS THAN HALF their rated max refresh rate. At least I can still use the monitor until I can get a new one. Low rating for shoddy internal manufacturing.
