Our take
For $110, this 27-inch 1080p monitor delivers impressive smoothness. The 146Hz overclock works flawlessly for esports titles—ghosting is minimal thanks to the 1ms response. Colors are acceptable for a budget gaming monitor, though the 300 cd/m2 brightness isn't great for HDR content. The single DisplayPort input is limiting if you have multiple sources. The stand is basic but functional. If you're on a tight budget and prioritize high refresh rates over resolution or connectivity, this is a solid choice. The 3-year warranty adds peace of mind.
