Great quality budget monitor. Clarity is a+

I was kind of scared ordering a monitor from a brand i was unfamiliar with , I first ordered an acer monitor with 100hz but changed my mind and went with this one . And man was it a good choice, not only was it cheaper than the acer but it has a higher refresh rate . It's very nice looking , came with the appropriate cords and accessories . Only a few cons . Takes awhile to color correct the monitor through the monitors settings . It's curved but not a lot. Besides that I'd say this was 100% worth it I'm glad this monitor was worth it and my little brother will enjoy his new gaming monitor for a long time .

Took a chance on this and have been more than happy with this monitor. Their are plenty of 144hz monitors from premium brands at and around this price point, but the "curved" aspect had me intrigued. While not being a game changer, the curve is certainly a pleasant experience, and this monitor has exceeded my expectations. Pros-- Crisp colors 144hz is great for gaming VESA mount Variable on-screen crosshairs for no-scoping noobs Curvature make the screen seem bigger Cons-- Colors aren't as sharp as my ASUS VC-9H Stand seemed weird, though I didn't use it Not a whole lot of settings besides contrast and brightness sliders I should mention that because my 23" ASUS monitor is the second of the dual setup to my rig, that I have a direct compare and contrast to screen performance differences. What I can conclude from this purchase is that where you gain curvature and massive refresh rates, you lose in color sharpness. For me, It's a very small price to pay for 144hz gaming.

Great monitor, I recommend turning on DCR and if you have a Nvidia GPU go into control panel, adjust Desktop Color Settings, and tweak these settings: Brightness 70 ~ 75, Contrast 52 ~ 55, Gamma: 66 ~ 72. Make sure you scroll down make sure to set Output Dynamic Range to Full. I'm not sure what settings I'd recommend for AMD users as I gave the monitor away with a custom system after playing with it but I'd start with similar settings and adjust to your liking. Monitor does have a tendency to darken wayy too much when playing dark games/videos. I think it's connected to the DCR setting but the improved contrast is too good to turn it off. If you're using this monitor in a bright room you might have to keep the brightness up

I know that there aren’t a lot of clear reviews on this monitor. So I’ll try to help as best as I can. The Viotek GN24CB has baffled me. I bought this monitor when it was on sale for $130. Note that I bought the 24-inch version. With this monitor coming out in 2018 there was a huge lack of reviews. I went ahead and took a leap of faith with this thing and I am amazed. I use this monitor for gaming. Especially competitive games such as, Rainbow Six Siege. The performance is outstanding. The black and whites are nice with no real problems and the one millisecond response time is there. It came to me with zero dead pixels. I also use this with my laptop, so if you have a laptop setup like me, this will work perfectly. I have included a picture to show. I currently have my monitors brightness up so excuse that.

I highly recommend this monitor to anybody who needs a new gaming monitor and is willing to sacrifice 240 Hz for a curved monitor. The curve is not that curved, so it was easy for me to get adjusted to. It displays 144 Hz (144 frames) which is good enough compared to 240 frames as the human eye can barely notice a difference. The colors on the monitor were spectacular out of the box for me, however, I am sure that with some custom tuning of the monitor, the color quality would increase a ton. The sound quality is okay, if you don't want to spend more on speakers, these internal speakers will do okay, but not great. The fact that the monitor has them is the best part about them. For $200, this is probably the best monitor you can buy for the price.

Okay so i was have one dead pixel. I got the GN24c 24 inch 144 hz curved monitor. In the pictures i saw that it says it had vesa mounting but didn't see any holes in the back of the monitor that would indicate it was.. What i did not realize was on the back of the monitor the regular monitor stand slides into a bracket before you screw it together. And that to mount it on a wall/desk mount it comes with an attachment as you can see in the pictures. It does tilt, but not by a lot. the stand feels very sturdy. It has little bezel although there's like a bezel designed into the screen as you'll be able to see also in the pictures.otherwise awesome monitor all around. I'd likely buy this brand again but maybe a 2k monitor and something a little bigger as well for my own personal reasons.

[Edit] After 2 years of owning this monitor it is already faulty as seen in second image. Had this problem occasionally after my first year, but now it's getting pretty bad. For a ~$200 144hz monitor I couldn't ask for more. Been using this for several weeks so far and have not encountered any major problems. A DP cable is provided which supports the full 144hz. Gaming with my GTX 1070 looks amazing on this monitor, but then again I don't have much experience with gaming monitors as this is my first above 60hz monitor so I can safely say that this does not look horrible. It's a shame I can't utilize the freesync that comes with this monitor, but honestly I'm just glad to have this monitor in the first place. However the stand provided is so so with only vertical adjustability, but at a fixed height. You would have to move the entire stand if you were to adjust it horizontally and that just doesn't work too well with the 3 legs. The 24 inch monitor is NOT borderless. Another flaw is the horrible onboard sound which I could definitely do without, but you shouldn't be using your monitor's audio anyways. One major issue is there seems to be a dark spot near the upper left corner and another on the opposite side. This is only noticeable during normal use on lighter backgrounds as seen in my picture, but not noticeable during gaming. Pros: - 144hz - Curved (depends on your preference) - Decent display quality - Provided DP cable - Cheap $$ Cons: - No horizontal screen adjusting only vertical angling - Misleading advertisement on the borderless (only for their larger display models) - Horrible monitor settings adjustment - Bad sound quality - 2 Dark spots at edge of display

Where to begin. I love this thing. I was lucky enough to get in on sale and i have to say it is probably the most bang-for-buck monitor out there right now. It comes with a VESA mount adapter which is works with no issues. The 144hz refresh rate is awesome (you need to use display port cable). Comes with a display port cable. The curve is a bit of a gimmick for me but I have to say it's a great looking monitor with its thin bezel design. Like others have said the included stand is kind of bad but usable. It does have built in speakers but they are very low volume and lack bass but honestly I rarely use them because I'm always using headphones or speakers. I think my monitor came with MAYBE 1 or 2 dead pixel but I have trouble spotting them and honestly at under 300$ I can't really complain.

Man that screen is insane! I must say that I don't have that much money, so when I first wanted to buy a 144hz monitor, I searched for many days and gosh VIOTEK didn't let me down with that monitor. I was afraid that I wouldn't see the difference that much, but at the moment I plugged it in I could already see a difference with my mouse pointer. Great screen, real blacks, nice curve. Everything you guys need, I don't even know why i'd spend more for a 144hz monitor.

Amazing Monitor! I was told about the low brightness of the monitor however it was not a problem at ALL. In fact I thought it was extremely bright at 75% The monitor looks and feels premium and the curve is nice. I was scared that my curved monitor would like weird alongside my flat monitor, but that was no problem. This is definitely the best monitor I have owned, I've only maybe 6 monitors in my life that were all good, but this one is pretty great. Of course it is great for gaming, the 144hz works great with Nvidia cards. Only thing you will need to do is change the refresh rate in your Windows settings. I highly recommend this monitor. It is worth the risk. Give it a try!

good quality monitor color looks good. Flimsy vesa mount.

ADV: - Love the screen wideness - Does come with speakers installed at the back - Great for working and for gaming (especially fps) - Offers different modes for different uses (test reading, gaming, rts, fps, etc.) DISADV: - Stand feels rather cheap but, it does hold up well - The monitor did take about a month to ship (could just be my case)
