Great monitor. This will be my first of two reviews as I’ve not had a chance to fully test the performance of the monitor. My boyfriend is building a computer for me and this was the monitor I chose. I picked this one first of all because of the 3ms refresh rate and the 144hz response. Most gaming monitors with both and that are curved are stupid expensive. Second I did read all the reviews. All of the good ones state that the overall performance was excellent. All of the negative reviews comment about missing parts. Parts can be replaced by calling the manufacturer or amazon so I chose to ignore these comments. My monitor came with an HDMI cable, mounting screws, screws for the base and a screwdriver that's actually pretty decent. The base is made out of what feels like a thin cast iron metal. It’s not flimsy but it’s not cast iron heavy. Its substantial and my monitor doesn't wobble. The screen itself it a matte finish and tilts up and down nicely. I did hook it up to my laptop via HDMI and it connected perfectly. The resolution was not perfect at first hookup. I did have to tweak the settings some to get it to my desired preference. The curve is nice and the screen is big. I’ve never had a 27” monitor. I like the fact that the monitor can be set on a timer to sleep if there’s nothing to be displayed and the PC is on. There is also an option to select on the degree of brightness for eye fatigue which is nice. I did turn on the AMD Freesync and will be testing that out soon.I currently game on PS4 but will be moving over to PC shortly so this monitor will obviously be used for gaming. Most of the games I play are RPG’s, FPS and I regularly play FFXIV. As of now I’m sticking to giving this 5 stars as I’m happy with my purchase and I’d buy another. Once my gaming setup is complete and I’ve tested the monitors performance, I’ll update my review.***Update 10/1/2018***WOW, Such a perfect buy. This screen is amazing. The refresh rate blows my mind. I'm running this monitor with an Intel i5 processor, MSI z370-A Pro Motherboard and an ASUS GEFORCE GTX 1060 Graphic card. As soon as I have the room, I will be purchasing a second. My ONLY small complaint is that there is only 1 HDMI port. Lucky for me my graphics card supports 2 HDMI, 2 Display Ports and 1 DVI. So I was able to connect my PS4 via HDMI and my PC via Display Port with zero issues. But I won't be docking star for that.

I've been using this monitor for the past month and I have been quite impressed for the price. Picture quality is good, brightness is adjustable, for gaming at 144hz is good. overall is very smooth when your computer is also running at those 140 fps. I've been playing COD, Fortnite, and Valorant and it has been very good. And having 27" for gaming isn't too much. I like it since I feel more immersed in the game since its also curved. Works great for normal stuff like work and school related things. No need to run dual monitors for those kind of things like I used to.The only Con I would have is that the stand does not adjust up or down, just only angle. and my particular stand came missing with one of the rubber feet on the bottom. but that was an easy fix by just putting some folded up paper under it to make it level. Also regarding picture quality, it is good, but not as good as like a Macbook Pro screen. But it's still very good for the price.

So im gonna go over a few things real quick that I saw in the comments for complaints.1. Versa mount not working.The monitor comes with four shiny screws these screws go into the versa mount holes giving you clearance from the L shaped bracket on the back. I mean really people they have a SEPARATE instruction card just to let you know this.2. Not getting 144hzYou have to go into you GPU (Graphics Card) control panel and MANUALLY change the Hertz to 144. YOU ALSO have to go into the monitor settings and change the monitor to 144Hz.3. Dead pixelsIf you have a cluster of dead pixels YOU CAN RETURN THE MONITOR. now that dosen't mean one dead pixel top right and one dead pixel bottom right they have to be in a cluster. You are buying a 170 dollar monitor it may have a few dead pixels my advice DO NOT look for them once you see them its game over. If you don't look for them you'll never see them.Now some advice that could be helpful.To get FreeSync to work with a Nvidia GFX you need to go download the bios updater from Nvidia. FreeSync only works with 10xx series and up. You need to then go into Nvidia control panel and activate g-sync compatible monitor (google it).-DO NOT USE HDMI-Use the Display Port cable that came with the monitor. You will not reach full 144hz with a HDMI.Do not under any circumstances grab the monitor by its edges and lift the glass is very FRAGILE.To clean this monitor use a micro fiber cloth if you have to wet a microfiber cloth ring it out and then wipe down very gently! This is a 170 dollar monitor treat it gently.Over all this monitor is a steal for the price. Don't buy this expecting a 500 dollar gysnc chip 4k monitor in mind. For gaming this is GOOD for the price this is GOOD. It gets one star off of picture quality because its not as nice as some monitors but then again i wasn't expecting the moon.
