Cooler Master Tempest GP2711 27” 2K 165Hz Mini LED VA Quantum Dot QHD 2560 x 1440 PC Monitor, HDR1000, 4ms (GtG)|1ms (MPRT), DCR, FreeSync Premium, DP1.4 * 1, HDMI2.0 * 2, USB C*1, KVM

Context: First ever OLED. Came from a 1080p 144hz TN Panel.Review:It's an OLED. Everything good and bad from an OLED is here. But the difference is that this is cheap af. For $400 or so this is probably the best entry OLED right now. I've had it for a few days and I honestly don't have much a problem with it. It's just a super bright, vibrant, and smooth monitor.Compromises:ABL was notorious on this monitor amongst people online but tbh I only really noticed it when viewing predominantly white content like websites. It will turn down the brightness very evidently and brighten up when you're not viewing that content anymore. Another thing, I kinda wish it's manual has a more indepth explanation of what some of the settings mean. Another thing is the bottom chin indicator, the manual doesn't tell you what any of the color means. From what I've learned white just means it's on and most likely have a signal, and orange is also turned on but on idle/no signal. It does have some protection built in for burn in but honestly idk what they really do, more specifically for the pixel refresh test.Conclusion:If you just want to experience OLED at an affordable price I'd say go for it. If you can live with any of the issues I mentioned (which I can) then honestly this is probably an end game monitor for most until it stops working at least lol.

If you don't mind downloading a software update and sticking it into the usb port it is a good monitor. Out of the box it looked worse than my old Samsung 1080p monitor, not sure how they managed to screw up that bad. After the software update it was pretty good after messing with the settings. The HDR is pretty impressive in the content that supports it. I do wish it had a few preset buttons for custom settings on the front because you will want to change settings for different content.

I acquired the OLED monitor for $329 "used like new" and it's fantastic. I use it alongside a 144Hz 4K IPS monitor and there's no comparison, I did not understand until i saw them side by side just how much better an OLED was, even @ 2k vs 4k. I put it in HDR mode and the colors are fine, IDK why others complain about the color on online forums.

The media could not be loaded. Update3: they're still not responding so i have the wrong monitor which doesn't match this product I ordered, this has been over a month. and 3weeks since they've last responded to the ticket. If I were waiting to return the RMA to Amazon this would be horrible ... my Order was ~Nov16 its currently Feb20. This is some of the worst customer services I've seen in the tech industry.Update2: My RMA ticket says it's still processing, but a monitor showed up but it's a different model. So I'm not even opening it until they respond to my new support ticket despite closing the original without ever confirming that I wished to close it and had open questions out to them.Update: They said a week ago that they changed systems and asked the RMA department for an update saying that this is unusual. However with another review saying that they've waited over a month I am not holding out hope that I'll see an update before the end of the year.I took a chance with this monitor because I've trusted their cases and power supplies in the past and since monitors just sources panels with different tick boxes I figured the "Build Quality" warnings from RTING and Hardware Unboxed was mostly limited to the cheap shell.I was wrong, this thing had the light panel set back visibly from the LCD itself so much that aittin 2.5-3ft away ~10-20 pixels would fall off due to seeig the side of the panel frame. It reminded me of LCD panels on the glass side of a computer.This disappeared at about 3 ft away if and only if you were 100% dead center. Additionally the panel had a weird shimmer to everything, I'm not sure if that was a artifact of my issue or the general design.I bought this for work, I'm a software engineer and use small text at the edge of the screen and I do prosumer hobby photo editing and the 1440p and color space coverage is why I bought this, gaming was a secondary concern but vrr and 144hz is a requirement.I used this for maybe 1.5 hours, 15 min of cyberpunk, and the rest trying to figure out if it was a deal breaker.It was on Linux and OSX.Windows and gaming it seemed livable (this is the only reason it gets 2 stars)But I haven't had this monitor for 3 weeks, spent 150$ (+30% of purchase now) on RMA shipping cost and no follow up after saying they would get me a shipping label for a replacement after receiving it.I should have bought the ASUS I was looking at even though it was 4k but missed out on the sale.I should have returned it or sold it to a gamer at a small loss.This is a mistake that puts me out ~600$ over a month of a monitor ... If you have the disposable income give it a shot otherwise wait till a v2 that might address all the issues this product has.

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!

High quality but it's too small for my taste
