I bought this monitor on March 23, 2024 and received it on April 2. It's now May 28th as I'm writing this, so I've been using this monitor for 1 month and 26 days.
I ordered the 27" 170Hz curved version and where I'd normally have 1 HDMI port and 2 DP ports, I got 2 of each (am I lucky or did I get a new model? I don't know, but thanks), which suited me (lol), I use it as a secondary screen for my MacBook Pro (M1 Pro) via HDMI and play my PS5 on it.
To my great surprise on PC, I discovered that the screen could go up to 4K@60Hz, but I use it in 1440p@144Hz by default (except when I'm watching 4K content), HDR is, I'd say satisfactory, it's not much but visually, you can see that there's a difference between SDR and HDR, when it comes to reading and writing documents, in general it's fine, but sometimes texts have this sort of halo that makes them slightly unreadable and blurred, but nothing too disturbing (as far as I'm concerned).
For the PS5, the default display is in 4K@60Hz, but it can indeed do 120Hz but only in 1440p@120Hz, for some reason the PS5 only does the following signals:
- In 4K: 60Hz and 50Hz only, no 30Hz or 24Hz, (being HDMI 2.0 logically there will be no 48Hz so no VRR, which is the case);
- In 1440p: 120Hz and 60Hz only, no 50Hz, 30Hz or 24Hz;
- Finally, in 1080p: 60Hz and 50Hz only, no 30Hz or 24Hz.
(The screenshots are in French, but it's nothing complicated to understand.)
The monitor doesn't have a built-in speaker, which isn't a problem because I'd already planned to use it with a soundbar or my headphones (directly connected to the console) when I play games requiring greater concentration, in the description on the manufacturer's website it says "USB 2. 0 (upgrade only)", so the USB has no other use apart from updating the monitor's firmware, which didn't bother me because I use it to power my soundbar, which operates via USB and uses the monitor's built-in jack port for sound, so nothing is left unused.
I'm not using the DisplayPorts because I don't have a device that requires it, but I've ordered a Desktop and I intend to use the DisplayPort with it, so I'll update the review when I do.
All that said it's a very good monitor, since I've had it I haven't had any problems with it, so I highly recommend it, the price seems pretty fair for what it offers, I got it for $161.48 but with the code "H27S17" I got 5% off, reducing its price to $153.41, I don't know if the promo code will still work but feel free to try it if it still does.
