27" 4K UHD 144Hz Gaming Monitor - Fast IPS Panel 160Hz 1ms GTG, HDR400 132% sRGB, HDMI2.1/DP1.4, VESA Mount, Height/Tilt/Pivot/Swivel Stand, Vertical Monitor Ideal for Gamers, Designers

I recently upgraded my GPU after years of owning a entry-level one, and I decided to treat myself to a new monitor. For context, I used 75 hz 21 inch dual monitors, and after setting up this brand-new 1440p monitor, I was so amazed. I enjoyed the high refresh rate of 180, and despite some games not reaching up to 180 frames, I still am playing them with a smoother experience. The brightness, contrast, and the rest are pretty great for an entry-level monitor. Overall, I don't have much issues, although one minor complaint is the fact that the monitor includes a screwdriver, but no screws so I wasn't able to secure the monitor to the stand.

I bought this during a pre-Black Friday sale: an Amazon "Lightening Deal" combined with a KTC coupon that dropped the price well below $200. So, my positive response to the H32S17 is partly based on the big discount I got for my purchase.The monitor is the advertised 32 inch width. The bezels are very small, about 2 mm; however, the panel has a small, black border, which is never utilized. So the border around the display area extends another 5 mm around the left, right, and top. So, the max viewing area, measured by the diagonal corners is 31.5 inches.The build quality is solid plastic for the monitor, and the monitor base does use metal. I can't speak to the amount of adjustment the monitor has on its base since I have mine on a 3rd-party VESA mount. The 1500R curvature is very gentle. I use the monitor up close and viewing content from a distance up to 10 feet away, and the curvature isn't annoying. Be aware, since the panel is a VA, the viewing angles aren't as wide as with an IPS or OLED panel. But there is some viewing angle, especially if you are viewing content from a bigger distance. You don't need to be directly dead center in front of the monitor to get a good viewing experience.The out-of-the-box calibration of H32S17 is not good. You will have to adjust such things like the color hue, saturation, gamma, brightness, and contrast to fit your environment. Some have complained that VA panels aren't very bright. I'm happy with the brightness of this monitor. I never have the brightness maxed out, and I often lower it to 85 - 75% depending on what I'm watching and how dark my office is at any given time. When I finally got it adjusted, the display is vibrant with good color saturation and deep blacks.This wasn't clear when I researched the monitor, so I will confirm that the H32S17 has an overdrive mode that has 4 different speeds. I currently have it on the highest speed, but all the levels do influence the gray-to-gray response times differently. So, this monitor, like any VA, will have some black smearing, but the overdrive, plus the high refresh rate, will mitigate it some. I'm satisfied with the low level of smearing, but I don't play high-level FPS games where smearing would cause problems.I do use the monitor for productivity. Text clarity is very good, whether reading black text on white backgrounds or white text on black backgrounds. I was a little concerned about that when I bought the monitor, but it has exceeded my expectations in this aspect.If you have a decent PC and GPU that can push high frame rates, I recommend connecting the monitor to your GPU with the display port. With a DP connection, the monitor provides a stable 180 frames, which is even higher than the advertised 165-170 hz. I'm extremely happy with that.Overall, this is a budget-friendly monitor that is good for multiple purposes (viewing content, casual gaming, and productivity). It won't compare to the best IPS and OLED monitors, but, for what I paid, I believe I got a quality product.

This monitor has been great and has wonderful performance for the price. Going from a 60Hz monitor to 165Hz is a huge difference which is definitely felt. The setup is extremely straightforward and easy. The colours were different from my previous monitor but didn’t take long to get used to and you can always tweak the display. The low profile design is great but my only nitpick would be how lightweight the stand is, but I haven’t had any issues with it so far. Great for 1080p gaming and a great value for this price point.

Very nice screen, as far as visual quality it looks bright and crisp, refresh rate is excellent, PC immediately set it to 165hz, initially this was a problem for my old Display port cable as it would not display correct which worked fine at 144hz for a 1440p screen. This ultrawide looks very good and gives some additional real estate, I now use two, one flat and one curved. I previously did not like curved panels for documents. I will say with my eyes at 150% this is a really nice size for documents, icons, games, and productivity. Gsynch is working flawlessly, honestly for price I did not expect that. I tested AC Shadows and Rocket League. Buttery smooth with no vsynch and no input lag. The difference beteen this and my old screen is very noticeable in smoothness. A note to buyers, keep in mind you need newer high speed capable cables to handle the bandwidth for this resolution and frequency. My old 1440 did fine at 144hz but this screen requires a bit more, I have had that with 4K on TV's as well where you must have a better cable to keep from having screen cut outs etc. Its not going to have the contrast of OLED but as far as a great performing VA monitor, low latency, and bang for your buck you really cant go wrong. My other uw is samsung but does not do well without vsycnh utilized, this monitor does great for both productivity and games. On the panel options basically it had almost none in menus, so I was disapointed on that however in my case which is fortunate the color was very well tuned to the Samsung it sits next to so its great. This means a slightly warm image quality and picture is well beyond what I expected at this price point. After you go Ultrawide its hard to do anything else, so much more immersive and this thing is like butter.
