  • Purchased for Xbox gaming
    Verified BuyerReviewed by JohnP - April 29, 2020

    Purchased this monitor to use for XBOX gaming. X only pushes 60 hz so the only good picture is on the standard mode. I will say on standard mode it is very clear and no lag at all and can also use clearly for my work laptop. I tried the FPS and gaming modes but colors are very washed out and can't get it to change. This may be an Xbox issue and I don't have a PC to try out 144 hz that this monitor is capable of. Setup is easy. The stand is very solid, I was actually impressed with how sturdy this monitor is. Overall a solid choice for the money IMO. Can't give it a 5 star without having experience with a gaming PC.

    Verified BuyerReviewed by ToughTom2 - April 29, 2020

    Bought this for gaming and it looks great! Very easy to set up new color profiles and once you do, it looks better than expected for a TN panel. The viewing angles are meh but for gaming I’m always sitting directly in front of the screen so it isn’t noticeable. Very snappy response time as well 1ms gtg is on full display here, very very minor ghosting. Much less than my msi VA panel gaming monitor. Overall very happy with my purchase. Would by benQ again!
