Awesome monitor at this price point, love the size
Honest4u June 7, 2024Review source: AmazonI wanted to upgrade the size of my monitor connected to my Mac Mini and this 32” monitor is impressive! I’m using this setup for video and music editing and the size of the monitor combined with the resolution gives me plenty of real estate. Getting started was as easy as connecting an HDMI cable and connecting my external speakers to the monitor. The actual stand is extremely sturdy and fits perfectly on my desk. As noted by other reviewers, the monitor is shipped with the most basic of settings and will require some tweaking for your specific setup. The user interface isn’t bad but it does seem a little awkward. At this price point this is an excellent monitor. The only real complaint I have is that there wasn’t a protective piece of plastic on the monitor’s screen. This is always nice to have when you are installing the monitor for the first time.

Crisp monitor with good refresh rate options
cj June 6, 2024Review source: AmazonOver the years, I’ve used a number of monitors, but am by no means an aficionado or expert. As some of my older monitors are small but heavy, I’m slowly changing them out for newer, lighter weight options with higher resolution. This G50D, with a 2560×1440 resolution, is a definite step up from the 27″ monitor I was using before, resulting in nice crisp details and good contrast, all without needing much adjustment out of the box.
I’m not pushing the refresh rate too hard most of the time, and will admit to swapping systems back and forth, but it really spends most of its time right around 60Hz, but it’s nice to know that I can push this up as I rotate into some more demanding games.
Assembly was a completely different experience than I’m used to, using a rotating sort of twist on to attach the monitor to the stand, although a VESA mount is available underneath the base assembly, although I haven’t tried it to see how difficult it is to access. There is also a sort of cone-shaped cover to go over the monitor to arm connection, which I’m not as much a fan of….it feels a bit flimsy and doesn’t really want to latch in place very well for me, which could be user error, but given how easily everything else went together, this surprised me in its clunkiness compared the the elegance of the rest of the design.
One other nit I had initially (as I was switching back and forth between sources, so lots of monitors on/off connections) was the little nag screen at the bottom of the monitor for far too many times, bugging me to register, adjust settings, etc. It just caused an annoying delay for me in being able to use that part of the screen right away and seemed unnecessary to me.
Other than a few nits, this is likely the nicest monitor I’ve owned. It is far more capable than I will likely push it (despite having a higher-end gaming system), but it IS more than I’d also typically spend on a monitor as well, so the step up in performance does come at a little more cost.

Great midrange monitor for a decent price
Suelzle June 4, 2024Review source: AmazonI’ve never dived into getting a gaming monitor. Have always used basic monitors. But I decided to try this and see how it affects my gaming. It was a great step up! Won’t go back to basic monitors again!
Pros
+ Interface. The interface is super intuitive. Push the button on the bottom of the monitor and then the arrangement on the screen is the same as the interface buttons. I didn’t even have to read the directions and understood it just fine.
+ Picture. The picture was what I would expect for a gaming monitor. The colors are bright. The darks are as dark as an LCD can get. The refresh rate was smooth. My rig doesn’t have super processing and it ran full resolution smoothly.
+ Adjustability. The monitor can move in just about any way you like. Rotate. Angle. Tilt. Move up and down. Very easy to get this to fit my viewing preference.Cons
+ The only con is a weird glitch where the USB doesn’t turn off along with the monitor. So my gaming lights on my monitor stay on after I turn off the monitor. That shouldn’t be. But it’s a little thing and doesn’t take away from this sweet, speak monitor! -
Nice specs, nice build quality.
Austin June 3, 2024Review source: AmazonThe Goods:
– Good price performance for specs
– Charging brick is small
– 5 button UI navigation (4 directional and select)
– Seems like g-sync does work
– Local dimming (not sure how many zones)The Bads:
– For some reason I have to wake it up on boot (2nd monitor), not sure if there is some setting I have to change.Final thoughts:
I feel like the build quality and specs are good for the price, though on paper it seems like there are better value monitors. 180hz IPS is very nice. -
Big clean picture. 180Hz is great for gaming.
Incentivized Incentivized review: The reviewer received a benefit for sharing feedback.A D G June 2, 2024Review source: AmazonEasy to set up. Put it in place to take over for my 4k60 monitor.
I thought I would miss the resolution, but after a few uses, it was not even noticeable. Pixel scale ended up the same at 100% as 125% on the previous screen.
The 180Hz is great for gaming. My video card can push it at full resolution and detail at close to 150fps. Add in FreeSync and the images are clean as can be at any resolution.
HDCP compatibility so I can watch protected media with no issues.
Audio passthrough from the DisplayPort connection makes it easy to route sound wherever you need it.
10bit color reproduction is clear and gives amazing depth to images.
Local dimming makes a good compromise between standard illumination and OLED without the added expense. Great contrast even in darker scenes.

Very average monitor, does everything okay but nothing great
Incentivized Incentivized review: The reviewer received a benefit for sharing feedback.jbc May 31, 2024Review source: AmazonI have no direct issues with this monitor. I ordred the 32 inch version and i can say it is a good looking monitor. It feels very cheaply built, looks better than it feels. There is only one HDMI and one DP on the back which is not much. I am unimpressed by the viewing angles but the panel uniformity is good. The colors are good too when looking relatively dead on. Brightness is unimpressive but good enough. Also to note, there are like no options for customization in the settings. Can be good or bad depending on your preference. I personally like how simple it is, just a display and nothing else. One issue i had when i first connected it was it would only display 60Hz. I had to make a custom resolution in geforce (2560×1440 @ 180hz), but that worked first try and hasnt been an issue since. The panel is fast and smooth. I personally would not spend 430 dollars on a monitor like this as there are better options out there for sure, but as for what you get, the rest is fine.

Great monitor. Confusing menu system.
Karl May 30, 2024Review source: AmazonI got this as a second monitor knowing it would be used in portrait mode as a second monitor (I don’t have room for two 27 inch monitors in landscape). The assembly was easy. The stand is quite substantial and weighs almost as much as the monitor. It comes with a display port cable though you’ll need to use HDMI to get the highest refresh rate this is capable of (180Hz). I use the HDMI on my main monitor. 144Hz was fine. The power is through an inline power brick so it doesn’t take up multiple outlets. It was recognized right away and once I set it to portrait mode on my computer it was good to go except for one issue.
It comes set to 1440p at 60Hz. In order to change that you have to go through a somewhat confusing set of menus to change it to 144Hz. I also turned of eco mode and picked a better color setting. The adjustment buttons are obviously a little harder to use in portrait mode. At any rate that was fairly minor and I’m very happy with the image quality.
