Yes, I totally agree. Yeah I like playing games but I REALLY DON'T want a monitor that looks like its designed for a teen boy. I much prefer the look of LG's silver monitors really but sadly they don't offer the best options for gaming use.

I have this beautiful thing. I want 2 more 27 inch monitors. I cant seem to find fitting monitors. 2 More HP are too expensive just for surfing and discord updates
This is the monitor im currently using, I came from a 27" 240hz 1080p Preditor that went out on me, and I got this monitor with no stand for a deal from a Facebook market place seller, and let me tell u.. coming from 1080 to 1440p I would chose 165hz over 240hz for thw beautiful image quality, I first couldn't believe how good Fortnite looked, and u had been playing it for 2-3 years, I was really blown away, then I finally switched to warzone, and the game looks beautiful as well, trust me 1440p is the sweet spot, I'd recommend 165hz if ur pc and run it.. or if u really have the money, they now make 1440p 240hz monitors.. but they arnt cheap. But I live this monitor
I bought this monitor for $ 450 on Amazon Mexico and the truth, it was a bargain compared to other monitors of the same specifications (THANK YOU HOT SALE!)
Even though you`ll lose the G-Sync function, how well does a AMD GPU work on this monitor, is losing the G-Sync function a deal breaker ? Reason i`m asking if I ever upgrade my GTX 1080 TI to a AMD GPU in the future.
connected to display port of a gtx 1060. Though that only appears during videos. I'm perfectly content with how the display shines in games, the colours are perfect no issues at all.
It's the exact same for me. I think the monitor overall brightness it's the cause, every function adds or takes brightness, even making and RGB custom profile alter brightness. I'm considering exchanging it.
It's one of the best though in terms of TN panels. It was definitely meant for gaming, if you just wanted to watch videos you would be getting an IPS screen at 60hz
amazon.in just slash the price to half on this monitor in my country. i have got the free-sync version but now that the g-sync version is half of its original price, I think m gonna sell my free-sync and get this one instead and the picture quality is better than most TN out there
I got it for 250$ USD about 3 or 4 months ago. The only issue I guess I've noticed is it never really hits 1ms... it's always 2-6 ms... even with all the settings on and what not it wont be "true" 1ms... I've noticed it only goes lower as well when u can hit higher frames.. so unless you turn everything low or have a high end rig you wont get the max.. Small things.. the headset stand on the back is inconvenient imo since it's not very large and it only holds a couple pounds before it falls back. The led colors are very weak.. the red is so bright but the others are so weak idk why. Color and picture quality is insane but the features are average or minimal. I love it but for those people going for the high end monitors and setups overall I'd say go for a high end ROG instead. Definitely a 8.5/10 and better than my old 75hz omen or Samsung's I've had.
i am about to do the same thing. i talked the manager at the Walmart in my area down to $150. i talked them down on their display omen 870-213w desktop to $750 a couple weeks ago. .
Good video. I have spot some tearing troughout the video, is it because the way the camera records? You can really tell if somone is rubish at gaming when they have to look down on the keyboard to find the button they need (changing fire to single 4:19)
Nice video bro, for some reasons everyones saying in the comments everywhere that prolonged gaming made it hot....i mean really hot that it turns off and flickers like crazy after .... Is this true?
Nice video dude, only have two questions. 1.- Can the monitor connect wit a Nintendo Switch and work it? 2.- Which headphones are the ones that appear in the video?
For anyone that has the same question like I had at time. The Monitor works great with a VESA mount. I would recommend this Monitor Model over the Others since the 27 got a very nice slim frame. Works great for a 2/3 Monitor Setup.
Honestly I haven’t noticed enough for it to bother me and notice. But I will admit ips panels looks a bit more vivid but the extra cost i almost not worth it.
@@03Edgar thanks for the answer, the reason i'm asking is because i have a very old 1080p 60hz tn monitor and honestly i think the colors look great but i want a bigger screen and the omen is the only 1440p 144hz "cheap" monitor in my country, so do you recommend it for gaming and stuff ? i don't really care about the colors being perfect or anything but i've been reading about the black colors thing and some color banding issues.
4:34 - No tearing? Smooth? Dude, you just got, tearing! What are you talking about? And 144hz has nothing to do, with only AMD card. Its works same as on AMD and as on GTX cards. And if you have AMD card, how can you tell about G-Sync? G-Sync works only on GTX cards.

I am way late but I will answer anyway, it might have to do with what kind of display cable you are using, if you are using hdmi you will be limited to 60 but if you are using a display port you can use whatever. It will also depend on your GPU
I bought this monitor and returning after 2 weeks of use. The colors are not as bright and blacks and greys seem washed out.

good review,thanks!
What setting did you use for this monitor? Im getting banding and bad black colors
all its missing is the IPS panel instead of TN and this would be great.
VA is a decent compromise. IPS + g-sync = bat crap crazy expensive. At least @1440p 144hz+
So does it work only with the DisplayPort without HDMI or USB?
