Everything is good, display works as expected.

Gran monitor, no le tuve que configurar mucho para calibrar la imagen pues ya venia bien calibrado de fabrica, la imagen es muy nitida y sigue teniendo una taza de refresh que si bien no lo más alto en el mercado actualmente es muy satisfactoria para videojuegos enfocados a single player o competitivos.

After years with my trusty LG 27UD68 (27″, 4K60, IPS) since around 2018, I decided it was time for an upgrade. The old monitor had served me well, but years of use had left it with noticeable burn-in effects, with icons taking minutes to disappear from the taskbar area or desktop when entering full-screen applications.
As a casual gamer primarily playing League of Legends and Roblox with my children, I was curious about the 144Hz refresh rate. While frame rate overlays confirm 144fps in Roblox (set in graphics settings), I personally struggle to perceive a significant difference across these games. More serious gamers may appreciate this feature more, but I wanted to offer my perspective as an older, casual user.
The built-in KVM is undoubtedly the highlight of this monitor. It has streamlined my setup considerably, eliminating the need for a separate KVM switch and additional HDMI cables. The attached picture in the review showcases the dramatic cable reduction achieved by using the built-in KVM, a clear visual representation of the improved cable management.
Now, a single USB-C connection to my MacBook Pro enables 4K144 display, keyboard/mouse control, and access to my external USB mic and webcam. I can effortlessly switch between devices:
PC: For general use and gaming
MacBook Pro: For work meetings, utilizing the camera and mic
Samsung S23 Ultra: For DeX mode, with phone charging and full desktop functionality
Switching between devices is as simple as pressing the KVM button on the back of the monitor.
While the monitor excels in many areas, it’s not without flaws:
USB-C output is limited to 15W PD, insufficient for charging a MacBook under heavy use. Workaround: Use the Mac’s charger for heavy use, or accept slower charging during idle times.
HDR performance is subpar, with odd color tinting and low contrast. Workaround: Use the HDR calibration tool available in the Microsoft Store to improve performance slightly.
Local dimming is limited to about 8 vertical zones, sometimes causing visible striping effects as bright objects pass across the screen.
Despite these issues, at the current price of $330, this monitor offers exceptional value. The KVM feature alone justifies the purchase for users with multiple devices, though its utility may diminish in multi-monitor setups. Personally, I prefer a single monitor setup at home due to space constraints.
While not perfect, this monitor represents a significant upgrade from my previous setup. The combination of 4K resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, and the invaluable KVM feature make it a compelling choice, especially at its current price point. For users juggling multiple devices or seeking a versatile display solution, this monitor is well worth considering. The drawbacks, while notable, are manageable given the monitor’s strengths and competitive pricing.

Great monitor for ps5. Works and it’s been a year so far.

Muy recomendable cambia demasiado la experiencia pasar de 60 FPS a 120 FPS no he notado nada extraño en la pantalla el VRR con el que cuenta es muy bueno, el HDR leí que era malo pero calibrando bien los juegos genera un brillo espectacular.

It’s got a really nice picture, and the 144hz is awesome when gaming…but it’s been a few months and I’ve already got three dead pixels. Kinda crappy it’s just outside the warranty window. I’ll keep using it because it cost too much to get rid of. Wish they had better quality control on this stuff.

First biggest issue with this monitor is the color. I’ve probably spent 4-5 hours tinkering with all the settings to get it right and it just is always off. The out-of-the-box settings were horrid.
Second biggest issue, an entire vertical line of pixels has gone out. Was changing colors and then settled on blue and kept flickering. It’s definitely not the cable or the GPU because I tested the monitor with a different cable and different computer and had the same problem. Unfortunately I bought the monitor over two months ago so now I have to try to RMA it. We’ll see what happens.

I love this monitor. It has great specs for a good price. I have another monitor with the same specs, but this one wakes up from sleep mode so much faster! I no longer have to wait forever, jiggling the mouse and tapping keys trying to get my older monitor awake. This one is logged in before my other monitor finally wakes up.
Anyway, since I have both side by side, this one works every bit as well as my other one from MSI that cost more. Next time I buy another monitor I will be looking at a Gigabyte one first.

looks good works good no complaints.

Coming from an older Lenovo productivity monitor at 1440p to this has been amazing. I did not expect the clarity in every day tasks to be so obvious, but the 4k resolution is perfection. The pixel density is insane, and though I’d probably consider a 32″ mounted to an arm for my next upgrade, this 27″ fits on my desk nicely ATM.
No dead pixels, and the IPS bleed was quite good. The OSD is good, and offers most of the settings you’d expect at this level. I’m running it at 120Hz and using Picture Quality in the settings, and it looks great.
Overall, I’m very pleased at what we can obtain from a monitor these days given the low entry price of less than 500 USD.

Not sure if this is a defect or this is how those monitors are. backlight is dim compared to an average monitor (I have three monitors, different manufactureers) it had a yellow/ green warm tint as if night mode was on, tried to calibrate colors to get it as closer to a good monitor as possible but it looked off, washed off picture. for someone who uses it for games and digital painting/ design, this is not a good product.
it really looked bad in a triple monitor setup, stood out in a bad way. I am glad they accepted the return, will probably get one from the store, something I can see and test before buying.
