Review: Great Monitor at a great price - The monitor is brigth, perhaps too bright for me (I suffer from migraines, and Bright light can be a trigger sometimes). The monitor had a few theething issues, and they are slowly being resolved via firmware updates. I am still on the OG Firmware, as a mew firmware is incomming, I'll be updating when I get the new firmware. The monitor is an absolute blast for the price, tested it with a movie (Lucy) and some light gaming (SOMA & Arkam City), and performed absolutely well. The base is, how to put it, sturdy buy sloppy, if you shake your legs the monitor will move, also it will be difficut to have it 100% horizontal or 100% vertical, if you care about those things, but it will not topple or fall over. and you will have space to put papers and trinkets in the hexagon, unlike other monitors ;-) There is some weird curvature optical effect in the left and right borders of the screen, but I (and probably you) will not even notice. The nub control is a tad fastidious, but bearable. Other than those minor things, I am 107% satisfied!
Review: A Good Monitor Full of Faults (GP27U and GP27Q) - Overall: It's a pretty solid monitor but has some pretty big issues. The Design Defect really kills a lot of enthusiasm I had with this monitor. Pros: Local Dimming: 5xx dimming zones is a must have for true HDR. Works great in HDR supported games. Ideally you'd get a nice and bright OLED but those just don't exist under 32". Brightness: It's basically a miniature sun when it wants to be. Price: It's basically the cheapest real HDR monitor you can get. Text: Text is so incredibly crisp. I didn't know I needed this in my life until now. It's my main drivers for upgrading to 4k. Ruined my second monitor for me though.... Cons: You have to restart the monitor every time it falls to sleep or enjoy a black or purple image. Design Defect: Monitor seems to have a design defect. The left and right sides of the screen are noticeably dimmer with the far most lines being completely invisible when you sit at a normal viewing angle. The closer you are the worse it gets. Seems to be an issue with the anti-reflectent coating. Local Dimming: It distracts from the experience when viewing non-HDR content. Text becomes hard to read in some situation and there's so much noticeable haloing on all websites. In games that don't support it bright objects in a dark scene become so fuzzy. Don't use it. Backlight glow: Never understood the whole thing with backlight bleed or glow but man do I now. It's BAD. VERY BAD. Wouldn't be an issue if Local Dimming worked in SDR content though. I initially though the monitor had some crazy bad anti reflective coating until I enabled Local Dimming. Software/OSD: It's a mess. It's easy enough to navigate as a tech enthusiast but so many settings are arbitrarily locked and some settings that don't make sense. (Example: There's some sort of "MPRT" thing that trails to everything that moves and idk what it's for) The software developers seem to have no clue what they're doing either releasing untested and broken or buggy software updates. Slowest monitor on Earth: It is by far the slowest monitor I have ever seen. Switching inputs, changing resolution, or turning HDR on and off takes a full 5 seconds. My computer literally gets to the login screen from a real shutdown and I'm STILL waiting for the monitor to turn on. Pressing the wrong key or dealing with a screwy game is just made even more frustrating when you're stuck waiting on this thing. Neutral: VRR: It does exist and it might work for you. It might not either. I don't use it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good hardware, bad firmware
*by F***E on February 28, 2023*

Great hardware for the price. You get a 1440p, mini-led, Quantum Dot, 165hz monitor for less than a thousand dollars, thats a great deal. Colour looks way better, more vibrant and accurate than my older monitor, which looks a little too warm. HDR also looks good because the monitor can go up to a thousand nits, while the black is really black due to the mini-led's local dimming. There are also a lot of downsides to this monitor, firstly in dark background, small bright icons like profile picture icon etc looks very washed out with HDR + local dimming and window's SDR content brightness settings up(Under HDR section), not sure why but might be due to the way HDR is implemented(?), i also couldnt turn the settings down to 0 as SDR content would then look really dim in comparison. And especially when I like to use dark mode, this could be quite a huge problem. Another huge downside to me is that with the latest firmware, HDR+165hz can cause colour banding, reducing the refresh rate down to 144hz fixes this issue but it should have never been the problem in the first place, it sucks how they manage to miss this huge problem before releasing the latest firmware, hopefully they fix this issue soon as it has been 3months since they released the last firmware. Last bummer for me is that with my old monitor, I used the built in 4w speaker to just watch random youtube videos which works great as they dont sound like total garbage, but with this monitor, although being more expensive the speaker is worse than the one in my old monitor as it sounds really holo and lack of bass. This may not be a huge problem for people with standalone speakers, but for people who does use the built in speakers they are horrible. Hopefully they fix all this issues soon in a new firmware as this would otherwise be a great monitor with vibrant colours and great blacks without the worries of burnin that comes with oled monitor, and even with all these issues at hand I still love this monitor due to the great price.
