Cooler Master GM2711S 27” WQHD 2560 x 1440 Ultra-Speed IPS Gaming Monitor | Up to 180Hz | Up to 0.5ms | Adaptive Sync AMD|Nvidia | HDR Support | DP1.4 * 1 | HDMI2.0 * 2

This review is for the GM2711S model. RESPONSE TIMES: 2.5/5 stars The response times are pretty good at 180Hz using "Level 2" overdrive. However, there aren't enough overdrive settings for good performance across the entire refresh rate range. The overdrive modes are: "Off", "Level 1", "Level 2", "Level 3" and "Burst". Overdrive off is only really suitable for 60Hz. Level 1 and 2 are basically the same. Level 2 works okay for the top end of the refresh range but pushes the display too far at like 144Hz, and even worse at 120Hz and 100Hz. The problem is in the middle of the refresh range, you have either too much ghosting with overdrive disabled or too much inverse ghosting with even just Level 1 overdrive. So this monitor is best at the top of its refresh range (165-180Hz) or at 60Hz. There is no variable overdrive. PANEL UNIFORMITY: 1.5/5 stars My unit has bad backlight bleed, most noticeably on the top edge and IPS glow in the corners. The contrast looks okay for IPS, considerably better than another IPS monitor I've used but still bad contrast in general. ASSEMBLY: 1/5 stars Assembling the monitor was annoying. You have to screw in the (backplate?) into the stand pillar and you'll also need a screwdriver to attach the stand to the back of the monitor rather than the easy "click-in" design. ERGONOMICS: 3/5 stars The stand has height and tilt and probably swivel and pivot as well. The height doesn't go that high though and requires a good amount of force to adjust. EXTRA THOUGHTS: The anti-glare coating they are calling "A.R.T. Film" actually has impressive reflection handling. Still, it's matte, and although the grain level is low, it's still noticeable.
