If you’re in the market, do check out some reviews and consider picking up the monitor via the link above – it really helps us out. This is a great value monitor, right at the current spec sweet spot, from one of the best makers of budget tech on the market. (I am a big nerd, so I have three monitors at my desk and all are on little arms – which means I can actually fit a keyboard and mouse on there rather than everything being a monitor stand!)Īnyway, I’m blathering on. This allows you to make the most of the screen’s relatively limited viewing angles and also clears up valuable desk space. (For more competitively-minded players, I’d point you in the direction of a TN or Fast IPS panel which offers lower pixel response times and therefore better motion clarity.) It also suits movies, although as you might expect from a monitor at this price point, there’s no meaningful HDR due to the monitor’s ~300nit maximum brightness.Īs well as being a good ‘first gaming monitor’ for folks on a limited budget, the Zero-G also excels as a great value second monitor – although I’d recommend picking up a arm with a 75×75 VESA mount to position the monitor. 1920x1080 Out this week: John Wick Hex, Fury Unleashed, Void Bastards. This makes it a better choice for slower-paced atmospheric games – I loved playing night scenes in Metro Exodus on a similar screen, for example – where you can really take advantage of the panel’s strengths.

And of course, with a 1440p resolution and a 27 inch diagonal, you get relatively crisp text and images, while the 144Hz refresh rate provides a dramatic increase in responsiveness from a ‘standard’ 60Hz panel. The older panel means that you don’t get as good motion clarity as one of Samsung’s new-fangled Odyssey monitors, but in terms of contrast, brightness and colour reproduction the Zero-G ain’t bad at all. Thread starter richxps Start date Sort by reaction score Forums. So why is this monitor so cheap? Well, it’s a fairly basic design, marrying an older but reasonable curved VA panel with a simple stand. It ticks a lot of boxes – great contrast, good colour accuracy, reasonable pixel density, a sturdy stand, four display inputs and FreeSync/G-Sync Compatible support. Their Zero-G 27-in 1440p 144Hz curved monitor has dropped from $250 to $190 – mere pocket change*!Įxaggerations aside, this is a legitimately good price for a monitor of this spec, especially one that has actually attracted reasonable reviews in its category. How much should a 1440p 144Hz monitor cost, a good one, when it’s on sale? Normally the answer is around $300, but today Monoprice have gone one further.
