Great Budget Gaming Monitor with Sharp Picture and Smooth Performance

I purchased this 27-inch curved gaming monitor and have been very impressed with it, especially for the price. The QHD resolution makes everything look crisp and clear, whether I’m working, streaming, or gaming. The 144Hz refresh rate provides smooth motion with no noticeable lag, and the curved screen adds a more immersive feel without being overwhelming.Setup was quick and easy, and the monitor feels much more premium than I expected. Colors are vibrant, text is sharp, and the size is perfect for both productivity and entertainment. I’ve used monitors that cost significantly more and honestly don’t see enough difference to justify spending extra.If you’re looking for an affordable monitor with excellent picture quality, smooth performance, and a sleek design, this one is a great value. I would definitely purchase it again.Ver más

Fast, good quality

I had two 27" Dell curved gaming monitors before this. I now work from home and needed two flat, smaller monitors that are easier to view and that can change direction more easily. These worked out perfectly and have a great screen. I didnt realize how different it would be going from curved to flat screen, but it will make working so much easier. Setup was easy- i didnt even glance at the instructions. The DC cables they came with are much more easy to manage than the bulky power cables im used to from monitors. Also I wasnt expecting the DP cables to be included so that was a nice surprise. Great monitors at a great price.Ver más

HDR goodness

I am coming from an IPS Predator panel. I didn't chose to buy this screen because of picture quality but because I wanted a higher resolution. Coming from 1080P, so this one was within my price range. Also wanted HDR whereas my last panel didn't support it. I've been using this one for a day and a half and I must say it's eye opening what I was missing out on. Also a lot of misconception regarding miniled panels. The picture quality is just as good and even BETTER than the predator it replaced. The 180hz refresh rate is less than the 240hz it replaced but I can't notice any difference, no input lag or ghosting at all. Smooth and clear. The brightness of this screen with HDR enabled is INSANE, you just don't know what you are missing until you have tried true HDR. The colors in SDR isn't as good as my IPS panel but once you turn on HDR the colors are better than my predator monitor and insanely bright. If you find it too bright you can turn it down to whatever level pleases you. The 1152 lighting zones give this miniled a HUGE bonus to darks and bright images. Meaning very deep blacks and bright brights! I have a fairly new OLED TV and I can't see any difference between the two technologies. The color options in HDR is greyed out so you can't adjust it but I can see why this is the case. It doesn't need any adjustment at all... The colors are fantastic in HDR. To keep all the goodness of HDR not just while gaming you can turn it on for windows operating system as well. I turned it on for everything. I really did not understand what a huge difference HDR makes. Ran some identifying software Aida, and says it's putting out over 1500 knits brightness in HDR. Games just look 100% better with HDR it's no contest. I'll never go back to non HDR viewing. 1440P is the sweet spot for gaming and navigating windows. Even when HDR is on you can adjust the brightness to your liking. You will have to make certain adjustments for this panel in terms of contrast but I made all the changes within the first few minutes. Also has game setting for boosting smoothness but it's refresh rate of 180 hz is more than good enough by itself. Well done KTC for getting consumers what they want. No frills monitor and great quality!Ver más

Excellent monitor with some tweaking read full review

Excellent monitor, but a little too saturated on default settings out of the box. For the best experience, either use sRGB mode with low local dimming at 75% or 100% brightness, or, like I do, and use DCI-P3 color mode with low local dimming at 100% brightness, and it looks really accurate and great!As for HDR, it's a mixed bag. In order to get the best brightness and bang for your buck, you shouldn't be using this monitor with Windows HDR or macOS. If you want true 1:1 HDR, it is much better with a console that has proper HDR settings and out of the box tuning. But if you want to use it with a PC or Mac, it is still mostly fine, but I would calibrate the HDR using the built-in calibration in Windows.The refresh rate is also a mixed bag. If your computers GPU or console doesn't support the latest DP 1.4 and/or HDMI 2.1 standard, then you won't be able to do more than 120Hz at 4K without display compression, and it looks and feels horrible when compression is on and visable at 160hz.My recommendation is this setup for PC:Use the DCI-P3 color mode for the best color accuracy across HDR and SDR, but if you don't plan on using HDR and use exclusively SDR, then stick to sRGB mode for the best accuracy for SDR content and gaming.100% brightness for the best brightness and hitting the advertised HDR brightness claims. Note this may be too much for the average person, so if that's the case, stick to 75%, which still hits a respectable brightness. For HDR calibration in Windows: set to 1930 nits (small window) and 1600 nits (full screen), as those are the official rated numbers. Use exclusively 120Hz at 4K and the standard preset for overdrive, as any other preset has overshoot and ghosting and any refresh rate above 120hz is pointless if you get display compression and not that noticable or helps much in gaming.As for the 320Hz dual-mode operation, it does not support native scaling, so you just get a blown-up 1080p image with no scaling, and it looks very blurry and unclear on the 4K display. It does hit its advertised 320Hz, but it is unusable in my opinion due to the blurriness of the picture from the lack of proper image display scaling. I also think they are slightly overdriving the pixels more than usual because even on the standard preset, there is still a lot of visible ghosting and overshoot on the monitor. I had to fully turn it off to get rid of it, but that defeats the point of the 320Hz mode, as it introduces more input delay for a clearer, smoother image. If you bought this monitor purely for the 320Hz mode and don’t plan to use 4K, you would be better off with a monitor that has native 320Hz support. This is clearly more of a 4K monitor than a 320Hz 1080p one.In conclusion, if you are looking for an excellent 4K monitor with really bright colors and overall brightness for viewing content and gaming in HDR, then this is it. But if you are looking for the best response times and don’t want to tweak settings out of the box, then maybe look for something else, as this monitor is clearly aimed at MiniLED enthusiasts and people who know what they are buying and how to properly set it up for the best experience. If you want a great MiniLED thats for beginners I recommend the AOC Q27G3XMN 27" for a better entry point to gaming with a MiniLED as it's 1440p and doesn't need any tweaking out of the box for a great experience if you want to try out MiniLED without eating away $500.

Top quality for a crazy low price

KTC is an unknown top brand because they were only making parts for displays of all kinds for all kinds of manufacturers such as ViewSonic and Samsung and only just started making their own line of monitors for the market. They even do the giant screens on buildings so you know anything you buy from them will be resilient and this monitor shows it, there's almost no heat that comes off this thing. Quality of the plastic isn't over the top which probably helps with it's low price but it's more than enough for what is needed for a monitor. Colors and the picture look really good as well. I have had this monitor for over a year and had zero problems with it. I have only noticed a single flicker one time but that was when I had overdrive on so that's to be expected with any monitor but compared to other brands it doesn't do it nowhere near as much. Can't believe how cheap this brand is for what you're getting. Any other brand would be two and three times as much for the same application, quality and capabilities. This is my new favorite and trusted brand. The first brand of monitors to have both.Ver más

It's Great And No I'm not glazing

This portable monitor is the best bro, came with no damages, image quality is amazing my phone just not doing any justice. You can connect it to a pc or your xbox or Playstation console. It uses USB type c to USB type A. Also has built in speakers at the back, not the loudest but it works. It's mad light, light to the point you feel you might break it lol.Ver más
