this monitor ticks all my boxes, 240hz ips 1080p 27 inch, but im curious about the brand, manufacturer is "ExpressLuck" (yes) im curious who the display manufacturer is, but i guess for 120 bucks it doesn't matter much?

It seems like they are a decent brand, but the color accuracy may not be on point. It should be fine, though.

Make sure to mark solutions, as it helps us find people who need help faster. Thanks!

I am human and am therefore prone to error, so I apologize if I make mistakes and I hope you understand.

Have a Nice Day!

i was thinking that, but some screens are so messed up its hard to do (i rem taking *weeks* to tune the lg lcd tv from my mom, but that was mostly latency tbf lol)

 

yeah i think I'll try this monitor i really want as many hz as possible at 1080p... and it does look pretty good'ish.

looking good out of the box

everything stock (the wallpaper has huge amounts of vignetting so there's no flaw either)

watching youtube is great (actually fixed my issues with the weirdly washed out colors in firefox) scrolling is fine, no apparent ghosting or anything. 

playing overwatch at 240fps med/high settings not a problem either, no ghosting, colors are nice, everything looks sharp (i gotta try at 4kDLSR 120 fps...!)  

 

for 120 bucks im more than happy, the stand and everything is much nicer than my old MSI too! also can set it much higher up... im actually surprised how nice and well thought out the stand is...

 

And i haven't even touched settings doesn't seem i need to.

😅

 

 

also, the rgb actually looks cool and is hella bright (and still not annoying when using the monitor)

(its hard to make a proper photo tho... it looks really defined irl, almost like it's not leds lol)

 

 

also it came with a dp cable, a hdmi cable and an usb c cable... that'll almost cost 120 bucks alone! 🤣

Now I can trust random manufacturers again!
