Just got one on sale from mwave in Australia. I play on Xbox series S and for a budget monitor, it gives a rich feel. I would recommend adjust the brightness lower to get rid of the back panel lighting, and tune the contrast and colour levels to about medium. It also has inbuild shadow detail which is awesome in movies. Sports setting is the best preset IMO, but i would still fine tune the contrast etc. You can tilt display up and down, its just sturdy. It does make you feel like you're gaming on OLED but you have to remind that you're on VA. Currently playing COD feels way better than my 60ghz samsung from the shed anyway. If you get the colours right, movies feel in 3D and you're in xtremscreen.

[@laeno1343]

Aye just got one from mwave as well for my series S. Thx for this, I was unsure if it looks good with Xbox. How are you finding the VA panel and 1000 curve so far? I'm a casual gamer and mostly play story based games.

[@MassivOreo]

@@laeno1343 its awesome just turn the sharpness up if you have some troubles with depth or if its too dark, try fps mode. shadow detail is also a setting i try to adjust depending the game. the black eq setting is also god if you want more depth turn that one higher for rpg games and freesync on . also the 120 higher fps thing on xbox just needs to be settup. some tutorials online

Sorry for the late reply ! The warzone gameplay is from my Gaming PC, so it may be that, but also the camera footage could also make the image look cleaner. On PC, I have all settings maxed which looks so much better than PS5 in my opinion.

Hey man, how’s your experience been with this monitor??

[@highland78q]

@@imanimeTV I am used to samsung monitors and it didnt fail me. Meaning its a great display , it must be put in the highest refresh rate and in the option put the response time-extreme. The downside is that I cant read stuff in dark mode because you see the smear and lag of screen but in normal "white" mode its fine and got used to it. The screen needs to be tuned to your liking like every other screen. If you need it for reading or work at night take a different monitor not WA pannel or take the expensive brother G7 !. For conclusion for my use I like it because of the high refresh rate and I mainly watch lectures and videos. I read from my tablet.

Response Time "okay" but not good. Fast Fps shooter cant handle this monitor. Black smearing yes. And i find my old msi curved (27) looks little bit sharper. My girlfriend notice not all of that. because she is not a gamer. Games like Witcher, Sims4 or other casual games this monitor is still a good Deal. i buy him on amazon for 199€ (32 model) The Monitor is good enough for casual player. 165hz are very smooth. contrast also good. But for FPS gamer this is not the best choice and i think the "32 model" ist too big for WQHD..
