:O And I thought I was doing something by getting it for $450! Did you get yours from the clearance section or was it returned? I was about to pick this up today but they were out of stock. Came home and saw that they're going for $450 on Amazon instead of $800. My local Walmart also had an Acer XG270HU sitting in the clearance section as it was returned but that too is cheaper online.
Since windows 10 supports dual monitors with different resolutions, until I can afford a high refresh gaming monitor like this one, I'm using the following: An HP 27q (1440p tn panel, $200 at bestbuy) and the other is an HP Pavilion 23xi which is a 1080p IPS panel and it was used but in flawless condition. Using the Nvidia control panel (Strix RTX2080, DPort for 27q HDMI for 23xi) I got the panels colors, brightness, contrast/etc almost identical to eachother, with the only difference being resolution but ones a 23" 1080p ones 27" 1440p. I forced both to run at 75hz. I use the 1080p monitor for HWMonitor and my OC software, plus youtube/etc. while I game on the 1440p monitor. Now that I've seen the two showing the exact same image with the color settings tweaked to match the IPS monitor, I can't really justify the price increase for primarily gaming purposes. The IPS panel one does have slightly "deeper" colors I would say but like I said, once tweaked they look extremely close. I'm glad I found this monitor, I haven't purchased it yet but I was looking at the Acer and Asus ROG equivalent monitors with TN panels and they're 100-150 more.
My local walmart has one and its a display. Are the factory settings good enough or would I want to make adjustments? I like to play Starcraft 2 mostly. How good is it with videos like what you watch on youtube?
Is this good for competive games like csgo, lol, dota, dead by dat light, rocket leauge, pubg, fortnite, hots and overwatch. I dont mind ips, its just ips has ms 4, i thinks its bit blurry..
So, I haven't quite understood this. Is it that you can only use WQHD with G-Sync if you run it on 120hz or what? 3:05 This would definitely be a dealbreaker for me here. Would be glad if anyone could respond to me any time.
Marko ASDA Driver it would be okay but you won’t benefit from the 1440p resolution or 165hz. I guess if you’re planning on getting a pc in the future, it would be good to get this monitor to future proof yourself when you do get a pc. Other than that, I suggest a monitor that’s 1080p 60hz if you’re just gonna stick to consoles. BenQ monitors are good for console gaming if you’re competitive in shooters and fighting games. The color won’t be so good in rpg and single player stuff
Ivan Vera cheers for the reply. Just about to get the ninja pc gaming setup for 6k. After seeing the build on RUclips. Hopefully I'll master the arts of mouse and keyboard lol
Marko ASDA Driver No problem, glad to help. Learning the mouse will be easy and will be very precise even if you’re just starting. The only thing, in my experience, that was a little difficult to learn when going to pc was the keyboard. There’s so many buttons and even though I can type without looking, I wasn’t use to playing with keyboard. Good luck and have fun!
@@chabib23 I see your point but as someone who plays a far majority of RPGs instead of FPS games I would prefer an IPS with better color reproduction at the sacrifice of 3ms which isnt even noticeable.
@@best2juck right now i have an msi 27" optix curved screen with a 2k resolution and 1ms time. I dont think the actual curve is that big of a difference but it has a VA panel (which is available maily with curved screens). I loooove VA panels. Much better than TN with color and better response rate than IPS (depends on the specs) plus cheaper than ips. Rn its on sale for 300. Also think about Hz. I wont use anything less than 144Hz.
Great review man!!!! keep it up and thank you!!! i have received this fantastic display yesterday and i am loving it!!!
I've missed you so much! Great video!
Thanks!
bought this monitor at walmart for 250 lol

Got mine from Walmart yesterday for $350!
@@DJHeroMasta it was on clearance. I fortunately live in the mountains. The market up here is very small for pc tech.
@@cyrusxm2553 That's a steal man! :D Luckily you were able to nab it before someone else.
Damn good deal. I felt like the man for getting it for 438 on amazon lol
it's been awhile since you uploaded!
Yeah, too much other stuff going on in life. Hopefully can stick to regular uploads again now.
ciao io lo vorrei acquistare per giocare su ps5 me lo consigli io giocando su un tv riscontro sempre problemi ritardi ecc
Hey bro! could you please share your monitor settings, bought this monitor a month ago, was wandering if there's something I can improve.

$350 yesterday at walmart...couldnt pass it up
I got my yesterday at Walmart for $260!
Tom Powell just got one at my local Walmart too.... for 196 ! it was 350 a few weeks ago too
In my country this is cheaper than the dell 27 g sync, should i buy it ?, is very hard to find reviews about this monitor.
I wonder if monitor manufacturers have a secret competition between themselves to come up with the most stupid and cumbersome OSD controls.
Bold of you to think i even have enough buy any monitor
Is this a recently released monitor? Thanks for posting.
You deserve way more subs. Just subscribed. Great reviews
can seem stupid but that red light annoy me a lot, i dont know what to do because i like the monitor
you can turn the light off. and you can also change the color to any color you want.
@@FIVECENTFISH thanks
What color calibration do you use on this i get very noticble issues with black colors changing , think it called banding?
I have same. It’s probably just inherent to the monitor?
Great review, Glad to see you back!
Yeah but for 515$ It just isnt worth it
I just bought it for 350$
That's G-Sync for ya!
why don't I have overclock option?
I heard it decreases image quality anyways, probably better to keep it at 144, wont notice that much difference anyways man.
Is this good for competive games like csgo, lol, dota, dead by dat light, rocket leauge, pubg, fortnite, hots and overwatch. I dont mind ips, its just ips has ms 4, i thinks its bit blurry..
Yeah, it's great.
Is it noticeable?? What would you buy if you play both rpg and fps
im missing cord to use this monitor do you know where i can buy it?
Marcus Bard I have an extra power cord if you want one
Nice video
So, I haven't quite understood this. Is it that you can only use WQHD with G-Sync if you run it on 120hz or what? 3:05

Hi, blue filter ?
How would this work on ps4 with console being 60hz. Just love the monitor. So price doesn't bother me

Good video, I was sold until I read the specs, and it said "TN", no thanks
Do you usually game while sitting to the side of your monitor?
@@chabib23 I see your point but as someone who plays a far majority of RPGs instead of FPS games I would prefer an IPS with better color reproduction at the sacrifice of 3ms which isnt even noticeable.

It's VA NOT TN VIDEO IS WRONG
It's not TN lol it's VA
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic but this panel is 100% TN. store.hp.com/UKStore/Merch/Product.aspx?id=Z4D33AA&opt=ABU&sel=MTO
