Nixeus EDG 27" IPS 2560 x 1440 AMD FreeSync Certified 144Hz Gaming Monitor with Base Stand (NX-EDG27S v2), Black

Item arrived in great condition and shipping was very fast. I ran a variety of test and have not found any dead or stuck pixels.PROS:- Adaptive sync + 144hz works flawlessly with my 2080 and is a game changer coming from 60hz- Exceptional FreeSync range of 30-144hz- Colors seem pretty good out of the box, although I haven't calibrated it yet- VESA 100x100 compatible- Insanely good viewing angles- Bezels are actually slimmer than I was expecting (coming from 2013 27")- Lighter than I was expectingCONS:- OSD controls are hard to use and the OSD has mediocre design- The stand is awful, but to be expected as an adjustable stand model is coming soon- Very minor glow on bottom right corner, only visible on a black screen in a dark room. Not noticeable during any other usage.Overall this is an amazing monitor for gaming, most types of multimedia workflows. I do professional design work and 144hz makes design programs smooth as butter. Highly recommended if you're looking for a good 144hz 27" IPS with G-sync compatibility.

Bought for use with the computer I built, took awhile to arrive but came with adjustable stand that was advertised as not included. The monitor itself looks great and has no dead or stuck pixels after about 5 months of use. 27 inches ended up being a little bigger than I expected but the extra screen space is very helpful when doing work for my university. The size also makes it comfortable for use with my xbox as I tend to sit further away from the screen. Colors and response time are fantastic and the monitor gives new life to all the old games I used to play on a CRT. Haven't noticed any ghosting issues or screen tears with the overdrive set to medium, the high setting did cause a few artifacts with no noticeable improvement to response time. The included speakers are nothing special, they work fine for casual gaming or watching videos.I would recommend this monitor for anyone trying to get into 1440p high refresh gaming. I shopped around ALOT before settling on this monitor, anything cheaper tends to be unreliable or lacking in one or more of the features this monitor offers. Anything more expensive blew out my budget, as when I purchased this monitor it was 400 dollars and the next best product I could find was at least 500 and had significantly worse reviews. Overall a great purchase.

Great monitor. I had only one stuck pixel which disappeared after about an hour of JScreenFix and the quality is fantastic. I would 100% recommend this to others. One thing though, speaker is not so great but I do think that you should not be expecting too much for an integrated speaker on monitors especially if you are buying a monitor for gaming.Pros- Affordable price for a 1440p 144Hz IPS monitor- Great quality- Freesync with G-Sync Compatibaility- Multiple DP/HDMI inputs (for some people it matters)Cons- OSD is a little awkward- Buttons are little hard to navigate- Stand is not so great

I got bit by the 144hz gaming bug by the AOC C24G1. I had to return that monitor, and following far too much research, I ordered this one. After using it for a little over a week, here are my thoughts:Pros:A 27" 2560x1440@144hz monitor is just about perfect when paired with a GTX 1070 or better.Adaptive Sync is rock-solid. Much has been made over Nixeus's implementation: 30-144 fps with LFC and adaptive overdrive (which appears to work just fine). It seems like this monitor should be on Nvidia's G-Sync Compatible list already.Color accuracy and viewing angles are terrific, as you would expect from an 8-bit AHVA panel.Despite the following cons, this monitor performs better in dark scenes than the C24G1 did. While the contrast of a VA panel was nice, the smearing and blurriness was definitely knock against the AOC monitor.Cons:The IPS glow on my specific monitor is quite noticeable in dark scenes, especially in the bottom-right corner. It's enough for me to take a star off the rating and to make me miss the VA panel in the C24G1 every now and then. I am compensating with brightness set to 25 (50 is the default, and 25 is plenty bright in a dimly-lit room), sitting further away than I am used to, sitting eye level with the middle of the display, tilting the monitor slightly up, and turning on a light or two. In the end, adjusting to the IPS glow might actually be good for my eyes!I think the ghosting and blurring that I can perceive is consistent with other IPS panels. I already dinged this panel for one weakness specific to IPS panels, so I won't fault it for this.When taking photos in a completely dark room to evaluate the IPS glow, I also noticed just the tiniest amount of backlight bleed that is completely invisible to the naked eye, even in a dark room. Since it only shows itself in pictures, I won't fault Nixeus for this; overall, I'm very pleased with the build quality.The stand is subpar, but that's part of why this is a <= $400 monitor. It does what it needs to do for me: it holds the monitor up and allows for a bit of tilt.Other thoughts:Make sure to start fresh with your graphics drivers. I noticed some flickering and color banding issues that were (hopefully) resolved after using DDU and installing the latest drivers from NVIDIA.The monitor controls aren't as bad as some have suggested. I am used to them after a week.Nixeus isn't a big name, and this monitor looks unassuming and lacks the outward appearance of a gaming monitor. But unless you need your monitor to look the part, this is a solid option to consider.
