Pros:* Very affordable* Very easy to set up* Games look amazing* Beautiful, crisp, responsive when set to 144hz @ 1080p* Settings in the monitor itself were great out of the box just had to configure Nvidia control panel to clock at 144hzNeutral:* The curved design is take-it-or-leave-itCons:* My only complaint is no integrated USB port. Would be nice to be able to plug USB LEDs into itself.Overall:* This monitor is an insane value.* I am very happy I bought this monitor.* I would buy this monitor again.* 1080p doesn't look perfect at 27 inches, but still looks really good. This is true for all monitors, not just this one.* I would buy more of them but my next monitor will be a 27 inch 1440p

Huge upgrade over my previous 10 year old Acer 1080p60hz unit. Vibrant colors and deep blacks. Curve is very subtle but does help immersion. Great response times. Works with G-sync out of the box over displayport. Zero dead pixels. Minimal backlight bleed. Adjustable stand which is nice in this price range.Only con is that it's a 27" 1080p panel but I knew that when I bought it. Helps keep costs down for future PC upgrades for those of us who can't afford the latest $1200 graphics card every year. Not a big deal though honestly. I sit about 4 feet from the monitor and can't notice individual pixels unless I lean in towards it.

This is my first 144hz curved screen gaming monitor. The main reasons that I purchased it were price, thin bezel, ADJUSTABLE height, curved screen, AOC quality, and 144hz panel. Be aware this monitor's screen is a VA panel. I found this monitor to be challenging to set up in order to make the screen look similarly as bright and colorful as an ISP panel. I spent a lot of time working with the NVIDA control panel to get the screen to look acceptable but I wasn't thrilled with it. I was about to settle for my adjustments when I saw another Amazon reviewer mention changing the GAMMA setting in the AOC monitor's settings to 3 and the panel color from warm to NORMAL. These 2 changes made a noticeable difference in picture color and brightness. Now I'm satisfied with the picture and it makes my games look great. The monitor housing and base feel very sturdy look very nice with red accents. The monitor's 144hz refresh rate make games looks sharp. The effect of the curved screen is not nearly as noticeable or immersive as I had hoped. It sort of stays out of the way while gaming but maybe that's what it's supposed to do. Overall, for the price this is a very nice Freesync equipped VA panel monitor. If you want to save some $$$ over a similar quality IPS monitor this is your monitor just be prepared to spend some time setting it up to enjoy its best picture. Also, the monitor's adjustable height feature was an important selling point for me.I'm back to add a star to my review. After switching out my HDMI cable for a DP cable the picture and color are awesome. Also with the latest NVIDIA drivers I can use G-sync on this monitor. Win-win!

It arrived in a box that was a bit under the weather; nonetheless the monitor was not defective nor were there any dead pixels like most comments suggested. I've had this bad boy for about 2 months now and it still satisfies me, in fact I plan on getting another this year. 1 display port 2 HDMIs and an audio input port. The monitor has no built in speakers but who uses those anyways. I mainly play Modern Warfare and the frame rate is terrific on such a competitive game. Wonderful price for the specs. Only thing I dislike is the red lining surrounding the bottom of the screen however it can be covered up with the right materials.
