Viotek 32" Curved 1500R Gaming Monitor

5 stars... but initial setup was a bit tricky and the layperson might need to do some googling to get their color, brightness, and contrast right. I had to do a combination of monitor settings changes, in addition to changing the color scheme on the Mac settings side. But in the end, they do match the 5k iMac screen quite well. My minimum requirements were 27", 2k,144htz, DP, and FreeSync. I needed two extra monitors for my main 27" iMac. These fit the bill nicely at the best price on the internet. When I initially plugged them in, I will warn, they seemed to be locked into 1080p and as a result looked quite pixelated and not good. However, after a few minutes tweeking the settings, and turning on FreeSync, they are quite close to my main monitor. Perhaps the color isn't quite as true as on my main 5k Apple monitor, and the contrast is noticeably worse, especially in displaying darker colors, but it's really pretty close, those are just nitpicks and one would not expect to match up a $1200 monitor with these at about $250... for the price they are FANTASTIC!!! I will also add that they do a good job of "auto detecting" which input is being used. I use Raspberry Pi's a lot so I'm often adding and subtracting inputs from these monitors and switching between the inputs is relatively easy too, requiring just 3 clicks to the monitor's buttons to switch from using a Viotek as a third monitor, to having it be it's own monitor for one of the other Pi computers. Really can't say enough about how surprised I was at these monitors quality. They also came with a dead pixel guarantee, however that didn't come into play because every pixel on the two of these I bought was perfect. Shipping was a bit slow, but that's on the seller and anyways we're in a pandemic so that's quite forgivable and they were only a couple days late. That's about all. If you're looking for a good main monitor for Linux, Mac, or even if you're slumming it on Windows (LOL), these are the absolute best bang for your gaming buck in the 27" curved 2K 144hz category.
