Greater than one weekGood size monitor for 1440p gaming with gsync support, with lots of screen real estate for productivity. I think its a good value. Leave the dynamic brightness turned off, it gets dark when it should get brighter and vice-versa. The only thing I would change is it would be nice to have the option of turning off the rear LED accent light.

> 3 dayBeware: this monitor does not come with speakers. VIOTEK GNV32DB 32-inch curved gaming monitor. Nice picture, but I wish it had speakers. Fortunately I have external speakers and the monitor has a simple aux output on the bottom. Be sure to go into the audio settings and turn the mute function off and the volume all the way up. Cheers!

> 3 dayBought 2 of these monitors in February. WHen I first plugged them in and got all my color settings adjusted, I was beyond impressed. The display qualities were phenomenal. Then I had them less than a month and once in a blue moon, and on random occasions, they would turn off. Sometimes they would just flicker, sometimes they would turn off completely. I live-stream professionally and this would happen during my live-streams, which in turn would cause my OBS to glitch and shut off streaming AND recording modes. This became more and more frequently and I was beginning to wonder if it was my video card, or the PSU on my PC, or the driver corruption issue from Corsairs iCue to Nvidia thats been happening for years now. When it first started happening, it was infrequent that I didnt bother with it much. Then it started to increase in frequency AND in severity. It would get to a point the monitors wouldnt even turn on anymore. By the time I figured out it was the monitors themselves, I was well past the return window. Like others have commented, the customer support drags their feet for over a month and then tells you the cost of repairs are far more than the purchase price of their monitor brand new. This is under their warranty. I was hoping this would be a great purchase and had high hopes for these monitors, but all they are now is just rubble in a trash heap somewhere, which is still worth more than the value of these monitors. I initially purchased 2 32 versions of these, but finally replaced them with 2 32 MSI Optix MAG322CQR, which funny enough is only about $30 more than these and, of course for MSI, is about the highest quality monitors on the market............and they actually last

> 3 dayGhosts like crazy. Its a VA panel, and this is what VA panels do. If you are not sensitive to that, it is a decent monitor with really good contrast and colors. I dont use the speakers, but Ive read they are terrible. Not sure why anyone would expect otherwise on a monitor.

> 3 dayIt is what it advertises it is which is great and I like it however I thought this was 1ms response time because thats what I was searching for on amazon right but after buying it and looking back over it looks to be between 4-6 which is still fine and I can not tell a difference however I just wish it was more apparent that is 4ms not 1 somewhere in the description. It also does not have speakers which I found inconvenient because my old monitor did but I got some speakers for it and I like it a lot. The curve is a lot easier to get used to then I thought it would be. There is also a setting in the options that says response time and the options for it is off, low, medium, high, of which I have no idea what it does and if I should have it on low high or off and havent been able to find much info about it online.

> 3 dayWhen I bought this, I was unsure about how I felt about a curved display. I had previously bought a 60hz 1440p ViewSonic display, but it was terrible and stuff looked blurry, so I returned it. I bought this since it was similar in price and 144hz. Its pretty good, not the best monitor I have color wise, but its still good enough to be my main display. 144hz makes user interfaces smoother and is better for gaming. Using it next to flat 60hz displays works quite well. I got used to the curve and I dont really notice it in use, however Ill probably stick with flat displays for 16:9 and taller aspect ratios. There are some minor issues, like the cable hider being a pita to use and I kinda broke it, and the VESA mount being a bit complex, but those dont affect use. One issue that affects use, but is easy to workaround is that the monitor is incorrectly configured when it comes to full/limited RGB. Using YCbCr444 fixes this, but its probably only my monitor that has this problem, so likely not a concern.

> 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 dayWorks great. Had a bit or trouble getting the HDR to work but the quality and fps were as good as advertised.

> 3 dayI bought this monitor sometime late 2021, and it was working well until it just stopped powering on. Luckily I was within the warranty period. I requested an RMA and shipped out the monitor. They gave a lead time of 5-20 days after receiving the item. 20 days passed, so I sent a follow-up. I was told to send another email in 5 days. I waited 5 days and sent a follow up email, which they responded to send another email in 5 days... Another 5 days passed, and I sent, yet, another email. Theyre stopped responding to my emails and I havent received a replacement. Hopefully I can get it back and I change my review then.
