VIOTEK NB27CB 27-Inch LED Curved Monitor with Speakers, Bezel-Less Samsung VA Panel, 75Hz 1080P Full-HD FreeSync VGA HDMI VESA, Updated Version (Black)

Comment

Purchased the Viotek 32" monitor based on Amazon and searching online monitor reviews. Not sure if everyone experienced the same as I did but the monitor just didnt provide the quality I was looking for. I ordered the Samsung CF391 Series Curved 32-Inch FHD and VIOTEK NB32C 32" LED CURVED COMPUTER MONITOR within a week a part and the Samsung blew away the Viotek 32". Where you can see the difference between the two monitors is that Samsung is crisp, clean, vibrant, and depth of colors. Also, I noticed there is no white blemishes where there is dead black. It is possible that the monitor I received could have been a dud but I doubt it with the tests I performed extensively. The Samsung monitor was about $75.00 more than the Viotek and Amazon lowered the price to about the same as Viotek. Where the Viotek strengths are for a basic office monitor and lower quality movie watching where people are not picky about top notch quality. I do like the real estate width of the monitor over the Samsung which is nice feature. Other than that if I was only buying the monitor for basics, it is a good price. Hope this review helps..

This monitor is awesome. Bright colors. Best monitor for the price. I do primarily 3D Modeling for Architects, Engineers, and Contractors at EvolveLAB. The curve makes it feel a lot more immersive.

It really pains me to write this. Ive had this monitor for a few months and after much troubleshooting and buyers remorse i must say i can NOT recommend this for gaming. Even with a VGA and alot of messing around with contrast, gamma, etc. the color is washed out and bland. It pains me to sit next to my room mate while gaming and see his monitor (half the price) completely out perform this massive eyesore. Alot of issues with the aliasing due to an incorrect aspect ratio on the monitor. All the games i play even at max settings have these horrendoues jagged lines on every edge of every character due to the awkward width of the screen stretching them out. i beg you, if youre looking for a screen for your battle station, keep searching.

This monitor is perfect... Except for the colors. Black is grey and the screen looks like it has a white overlay. Messed with the color settings, contacted support, nothing has helped. I have to return this, unfortunately. I need the colors to be true. Listen to the other reviews, this monitor doesnt display colors properly.

I am very happy with the product. It is exactly what I needed, an affordable large curved monitor that looks very modern. The monitor is thin, has a magnificent looking stand, the white color of the monitor and the non-edgy design all make it look amazing. All of these features make this product a great buy. I actually bought two monitors and the circular look is incredible and very flashy (for the same price as one monitor of another more popular brand). As a college student, I can honestly say that my productivity has increased a lot. Both monitor are powered by my 2012 MacBook Pro, which is great because all my data is present. I absolutely recommend this product. I have had both monitors for over a month, and after trying them out, I do not see any malfunction or physical sign of wear.

Ordered two of these for my wife, BOTH had dead pixels on the screen. Do yourself a favor and do not buy these. It wouldnt be as bad if only one was defective, I would have just returned it and got another. But two of two bad? That just shows they obviously have QC problems. Returning both and trying another namebrand.

This was a great purchase. I use this monitor on my home office computer. I needed a monitor that would be clear, crisp, and with good color saturation - At work I have a number of (23") DELL monitors, and one large (29") ACER Montior to help me with my work. I often will review video and photograph files and scanned and electronic blueprints during my day. Many of these are taken inside aircraft and FAA repair stations. Even poorly done phone video is clearer, and better defined, something I did not think would happen, but it did. Often; opportunities to help correct a flaw in a part are missed because some detail of the damage or problem could not be made clear. I find myself wasting less time, and having better solutions because I can capture more of what is going on quickly. It also leads to much less downtime for the Airline customer. While being a budget priced monitor, this is definetely not a budget value, simply put, it is a premium monitor, for a budget price.

I will try to make this short, sweet, and simple... Upon opening the box, I was presented with another box which contained the monitor.. weird. When I opened the box that actually contained the monitor I was actually impressed with the packaging seeing as though this monitor is a "cheap" no name brand monitor. First impressions: Cheap stand (chrome painted/plated/etc brass, yet sturdy and heavy) This monitor is huge! The color (white) reminds me of the old CRT bland white/gray. Heavy. Top left corner of the frame is popped out and bent... great. Upon hooking it up, the picture looked awesome. That was until I set up my cheap 23" Asus monitor and realized the colors looked better on the Asus.... HOWEVER, I did go into the settings of the monitor, tweak them a little bit, as well as doing a color calibration & clear text through Windows 10. And it looks pretty damn good. There is however a little light bleed on the right side of the screen. After playing around with it for a little bit, I did notice QUITE a bit of ghosting. In which I contacted Amazon, and requested to do a return. However... I think the amount of ghosting was due to the monitor itself still being cold from sitting outside all day (I live in NY). Currently, as I sit here and type this, I have played games such as DOOM, D3, Arma 3, etc, and honestly... it really isnt THAT bad. There is still some ghosting, but for a $219 monitor, I cant complain. This isnt a 1ms 144hz monitor lol. Overall, I give this 4/5 stars due to it being slightly damaged (Note: both boxes that it was shipped in were not damaged in any shape way or form surprisingly). I would HIGHLY recommend this monitor to anyone who isnt wanting to drop $300+ on a curved monitor. I have not noticed any dead pixels or any other errors. I will upload pics of the damage when I get the chance.

Really nice monitor, arrived quickly. Pros: Very bright, great colors. A lot of people complained about blacks being washed out, but after a few tweaks i have it dialed in perfect. Big and beautiful for a desktop monitor, i replaced a triple 24" screen setup with this and Im very happy. Nice finish, the curve is subtle but easy on the eyes, and the included stand is chrome steel and very sturdy. Cons: Switching inputs is a pain in the a$$. If you have something hooked up HDMI and VGA/DVI...there is no input switch button, you have to go through the menus which is very tedious. The screen does show some bleeding/tearing due to the curve, It isnt very noticeable, but it is there. All in all, its well worth the money.

After reading some reviews about blacks not being Black, some people getting the wrong model and dead pixels, I was fully prepared to return the monitor if I had any issues, so I was pretty tedious about inspecting the monitor when I got it. I had none of those issues, and I noticed that most of the bad reviews were from older reviews. The monitor frame was white. Not sure if anyone cares, but it is different from the picture, so maybe specify with the supplier when ordering? For me it was not a problem. While theres nothing super fancy or outstanding, it works well for me with photo editing, gaming and office work.
