Affordable game monitor for the (reasonably) avid gamer

Up to 280Hz
Image brightness
1080i
Onscreen menu sometimes requires many steps

Nice fast bright monitor for a good price. Monitor comes complete with cables. The foot is easy to anchor and the buttons on the back feel solid. AMD software automatically recognizes that the monitor supports g sync. With the onscreen display it sometimes takes a while to find the desired setting and there are no shortcuts. During gaming you can choose a specific profile for colors. Also supports HDR.

Many benefits for a low price

280Hz
GamePlus
27''
PPI low

I bought this monitor as a second chance product and I really like it so far. The biggest plus is that you can overclock the monitor to 280 Hertz (240 normal) The on screen display control is very handy, 1 joystick and 4 buttons to control everything. With GamePlus you can create an onscreen crosshair, timer, FPS Counter, Sniper mode (here the center of the screen is zoomed in to what you set) and finally Screen alignment (This is so that you put multiple screens next to each other and with a filter they make them 1 whole. makes what can be nice for racing/driving games) In addition, the VESA mount is super nice if you want to hang the monitor. Furthermore, 1080p on 27 inches is not super sharp, but is doable.

Not recommended due to low resolution.

280Hz
1920x1080 on 27 inch is not very pleasant

If your PC is powerful enough I recommend getting a 27inch 1440p 165Hz instead. Or else 24inch 240Hz 1080p.
