32 Inch Curved Gaming Monitor, FHD 1080p 165Hz Curve Monitor, H32S17C

This monitor is hands down the best value for what you pay for! 1440p is the Goldilocks zone for gaming and getting the best frame rates. When I started researching the best 1440p monitor this one came up several times on reddit and for less than $200, without a discount, I decided to buy it. The peak brightness is insane and color depth incredibly vivid. There's a slight light bleeding on the bottom left corner of the panel but it's only noticeable rare occasions. The fast refresh rate is great for gaming and makes the experience buttery smooth. Theres no noticable input delay at all and it's great for fps games where every millisecond counts. This is a 10/10 for and I highly recommend!

I really like this monitor. I've been using 1080p as my native resolution since college (back in 2008 at least) so going to 1440p is the first resolution upgrade I've done in over 15 years. I originally had ordered a pair of 1440s from LG but after reading some remarks about the dynamic contrast being locked I bailed on those and ordered these, despite never having ever bought anything from KTC before. This monitor seems to satisfy everything I wanted to accomplish the jump (a larger screen space over 27" to accommodate the increase in pixels while also supporting the higher refresh rate and VESA AdaptiveSync features of my 27" gaming monitors). The monitor is also brighter than I was expecting. 1440p at 32" has a denser PPI than 1080p at 27", meaning text looks cleaner on this monitor than the 27" displays I was using (I've been told that at 32", 1440p is more comparable to using 1080p on a 24" canvas in terms of PPI). The default color temp is maybe a bit on the cool side but it can be adjusted (the default for "User" seems to suit me). I ordered two of these, one for each of my gaming setups, and neither of them have any dead pixels. The description says "165 Hz" but in actuality I managed to run this thing at 180 Hz (which means it's a 165 Hz panel overclocked). I notice the thumbnail for the product says "180 Hz" so go by that. If I had to complain about anything I'd say the accessories leave a little more to be desired. The base is one of those three-point things that looks cool but creates some awkward situations with your keyboard if you have to put the monitor directly onto the desk where your keyboard lives. It takes up less space than I was expecting but I still think I might go for a flatter base. However more importantly the base isn't height-adjustable, which can create issues if you have to set your monitor on a surface where you might want it lower or higher to meet your eye level (it is tilt-adjustable at least, which helps with the desk where I had to put it on a higher ledge). More than the flat base I think this is what would motivate me to get an aftermarket stand solution. Furthermore the complaints about the short DisplayPort cable in the box are indeed correct. For my setups this isn't an issue, they can reach the port without difficulty, but you definitely may need to consider buying longer cables to handle that if your PC isn't directly below your monitor like mine is. Additionally I'd like to say the cable connecting the power brick to the monitor is also really short. There's a decent chance yours could end up dangling if it can't reach the floor from your desk, even if the cable you run from the plug to the brick isn't short.

Absolutely love this monitor. I have gotten a few monitors in the past, but they all have terrible ghosting. It always made me so nauseous. I needed to replace one of my monitors, and wanted a higher pixel count monitor, and preferred a 32 inch monitor. Oleds are out of my price range, and mostly come in smaller 28 inch sizes. This was the perfect width, the curve feels very comfortable to look around with, the coloring is pretty good too...no washed out images or anything. I also loved the simplicity of the base, though bear in mind it does take a bit of space to the front and back. I also really appreciate them including everything you could need to use it. Power cords, adapters, hdmi cables... didn't use any of the extra stuff, just the power cord, but they are nice to have if the need ever arises. I don't think it has menu buttons to change the display, but I had no issues changing things through my graphic card's native software. I also admittedly have not looked too close to confirm if there are buttons or not. Kind of got it set up and settled in too quickly and I have it in a spot not super convenient to pull it back out from to look.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Honestly, I wasn't expecting this much quality for the price. The monitor looks great, the QHD resolution is sharp, and the high refresh rate makes gaming feel very smooth. I've been using it with both my PC and Xbox, and everything has worked perfectly so far. The curved screen adds a nice immersive touch, especially in games. Colors look good, the image is clear, and setup was quick and easy. If you're looking for a good QHD gaming monitor without spending a fortune, this is definitely worth considering. So far, I'm very happy with my purchase.

The overall design is standard plastic with a fairly thin bevel along the top and sides. It's actually nearly identical to a flat 34" monitor I have from 7 years ago. But it's lightweight. I hardly notice the light from the LED ring on the back of the monitor - it's pretty dim. There seem to be no settings to control the LED light, other than turning it on/off. When waking up from sleep, the monitor takes a full 3-5 seconds to turn on after my laptop is awake. A few times, the KTC monitor did not turn on at all. I had to manually turn the monitor off, then back on. So that's not so great. This was not an issue with the last 34" UHD wide monitor that is about 7 years old (which I still use), so it's not the laptop causing the long lag time in waking up. Stand The stand is sturdy enough to prevent the monitor from being knocked over by accident; however, if the desk shakes, the monitor shakes slightly more than my other 34" that is connected to a desk mount. My main issue with the stand is that it does not lift the monitor very high, only about 6.5 inches between the surface of my desk and the bottom of the stand. So the top 3.5 inches of my laptop obscures the bottom of the KTC monitor. And the laptop covers about half of the length of the monitor. That's quite a lot of monitor being blocked from view, a very annoying situation when working with programs that place controls along the bottom of the screen. Screen / Image Quality I did have to adjust the color, brightness and contrast to get a closer match my laptop, which has a very bright, high-end display. Out of the box, the color and contrast of the KTC monitor appear washed out and too gray to me. After increasing brightness, saturation and contrast, I had to bring the black point down quite a lot to get something that does not appear to have a wash of light gray over the colors. As a result, I find my "Custom" color setting way better than any of the pre-installed color modes offered in the settings menu. Gaming I don't game off this monitor; however, with a Thunderbolt 4 to DisplayPort cable, I'm getting full resolution at full refresh rates. I don't need the high refresh rate, but the monitor deliveries in these aspects. Overall Rating I've had the monitor for less than 2 weeks from the time of writing this review, so perhaps my opinions will change over time. I think this monitor is fairly good for its price range, so I'm giving it 4 out of 5 Stars. If compared to higher end monitors, this would probably be 3 out of 5 for image quality. Also, I purchased during a sale of over 30% off. That put it at about half the price of many other monitors at this level, which is pretty good. Knowing the image quality now, I don't think I would buy this monitor at full price. At a discount, totally worth it. I do a lot of 3D and video editing work, so color and clarity are important, but not essential. This monitor is in no way a monitor that should be used for exact color correcting or color matching. But, for doing things like creating textures for 3D assets, game engine editors, and video editing where perfect color is not so important, then this monitor works well.

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.

I’ll start by saying that my only suggestion is this: when a monitor is purchased, there should be an option to buy a privacy screen that fits it. However, the KTC 24‑inch curved monitor has met my expectations. Teh Monitors are great, especially for the price range. The 1500R curvature creates a natural, immersive workspace that makes reviewing/creating documents, editing spreadsheets, and creating/watching/reviewing training and/or presentation videos noticeably more efficient and enjoyable. It keeps everything within your field of view, reducing eye strain and helping you stay focused throughout the workday. The monitor(s) provide a crisp, vibrant picture quality, smooth performance, sleek, modern design, easy setup, and great for multitasking. If you’re looking for a monitor that blends style, performance, and affordability, the KTC 24‑inch curved monitor is a standout choice. It’s ideal for gamers, students, home offices, or anyone who wants an immersive display without spending a fortune.

I liked this monitor so much, I bought a second one, and I’m already planning on getting a third. That should tell you everything right there. The 32-inch curved screen (1500R) pulls you in whether you’re gaming or just working, and the 2K 1440p resolution looks crisp and clean. The high refresh rate (up to 180Hz) combined with the 1ms MPRT makes everything feel incredibly smooth, no blur, no lag, just buttery gameplay. Paired with FreeSync Premium, it handles fast-paced games without any tearing or stuttering. Colors are surprisingly vibrant too with the 120% sRGB, and HDR adds a nice touch without feeling overdone. It’s also super easy to set up with multiple connection options (DisplayPort, HDMI, USB), and the VESA support made mounting simple. Honestly, for the price, this thing punches way above its weight. If you’re on the fence, don’t be, I liked it enough to double up, and soon triple up.

La mejor compra!! Es el primer monitor que adquiero y fue en una venta flash por 2380 más costos de importación (2830), además compré un cable de upgreen display port (+400) para aprovecharlo al máximo ya que lo voy a usar con mi laptop. Sin embargo por el precio normal sigue valiendo totalmente la pena. No conozco mucho acerca de la marca, por lo que tenía mis dudas, pero cumplió todas mis expectativas. Llegó un día antes de lo esperado, muy bien protegido en doble caja más el unicel que venía protegiendo el monitor. La base es de plástico con las placas de metal, pero se siente muuy resistente y el que se pueda poner vertical fue lo decisivo para adquirirlo! No tiene ninguna fuga ni ningún pixel muerto tampoco, llego perfecto. Respecto a las bocinas, la verdad es que si les hace falta potencia, en el menú con el joystick del monitor este viene al 50%, ya lo he subido al 100% y sigue algo bajo, simplemente no es su punto fuerte, pero creo que los Hz, la resolución y la base son los puntos por los que adquirimos este monitor (al menos en mi caso). Al revisar el menú igualmente si es compatible con FreeSyinc y G-sync, no lo he probado a falta del cable compatible, pero si viene. :) También solo lo he usado a 144 hz por falta del cable. Supongo que se necesita más tiempo para dar una reseña más completa, por lo que actualizaré en unos días o un par de semanas. Hasta ahora muy satisfecho con mi compra!! (Repito, es el primer monitor que adquiero y la verdad es que me considero alguien promedio en este tema, espero les sirva para considerar la compra :)) )

Do Not Buy! This isnt real, the pictures shown all show 1920 x1080p but is advertised as 2560 x 1440p, This is not a 2K monitor and should not be advertised as such.

Funciona muy bien, todo perfecto

Me gustó la calalidad de la imagen, los juegos corren muy fluidos. Lo único malo y que me decepciono fueron los altavoces. Prácticamente es un susurro. Quitando eso me gustó.

pues muy contento por el momento, el monitor muy bien , pero el display port con el que venia no funcionaba
