Will this monitor do 1440p and 120hz at the same time on the Xbox Series S?
A shopper
on Dec 13, 2022
BEST ANSWER: I do not own a Xbox S, but I had to set my PS4 Pro (in Safe Mode) to 1080p to use the monitor since it only has 1080p and 4K options. Otherwise, I got a black screen. If the XBox S has a 1440p option, then it should work. Since the monitor goes up to 165 Hz, you should get the up to 120 FPS generated by the XBox (depending on whether it can do so and whether the game is capable).

Is the stand height-adjustable?
A shopper
on Oct 29, 2021
BEST ANSWER: Yes, but the monitor seems to sit a bit higher than some other manufacturer models. Not an extreme difference by any means and has plenty of overlap, but because the monitor mount is LOW on the actual unit, it looks like it can go higher than other monitors.

Does this model support pass through HDMI audio (aux) so external speakers can be plugged into the monitor? I plan to use it with an Xbox and there would be no other way to get audio to the soundbar/speakers. Thanks in advance!

A little dark and a little high
This is a good monitor at a great price. It works with G-Sync, which is why I wanted it. I like how much smoother my games look at 165Hz. The image is darker than my previous monitor. I chose the User setting and I turned up the brightness to 100. That helped. The other presets were too dark for me. The stand makes the monitor a little high. At the stand's lowest setting, the bottom of the screen is 6 inches above the desk and the top is 22 inches above the desk. I'm a tall guy (6 ft. 3 in.), so this works for me. It might be too high for a shorter person. Overall, this monitor works for me.

The Monitor is amazing
The display is Oled tier display and the hdr simply looks amazing when calibrated properly would definetely recommend this. Not only that, it is an IPS panel that is 259$ right now; this could easily go for 500$ definitely purchase this now if you can.

Totally worth it.
It's large. It's well constructed. It performs better out of the box than my ASUS ROG monitor. The only downside is the brightness is very low so the colors come off a bit muted. Best value in a monitor that I've ever seen though, so definitely reccomend.

Its Ok
The monitor is nice and big. Almost too big for work. I have a PC and Mac. Mac flips out when set to high refresh rate. I dont know what is going on but I couldnt get anything to work. But then set the refresh rate to 60Hz and it started to work. The screen flickers all the time and is hard to detect as a monitor.
On PC, it worked for the most part. Has some flickering when getting up.
For the flickering, I have a dell that I am comparing and it doesn't have the issues. It also wasnt as cheap.
The OSD is odd. I want to press the button to click ok, but you have to swipe right. I thought this thing was broken.
I found distortion when waking my computer. Happened a few times. Turning off and on helped. Makes me wonder if the unit will last a long time or not.
The monitor looks great gaming.
I like the monitor but it sucks for a mac. I hope it lasts longer than a couple years.

Needed a monitor for my server and the price was really nice
So, I picked this up on a really good sale ($200) and couldn't find anything in the price range with the resolution even smaller. I didn't have a lot of requirements, other than I needed a server monitor because it was moved from behind the 4k TV.
It is actually way to big for my desk. I did have a bunch of issues getting the resolution to jump to the correct setting for my server to display things correctly. Pop!_OS wasn't auto picking the correct resolution when I connected via both HDMI and Display Port I honestly don't know how I finally started working, but there was something that got upset going from from a 4k TV to a 900p monitor to this 1440p monitor it really didn't like the last jump. The bios worked fine and the login screen and I could get it to work with both the 900p monitor and this one, and finally got it working and since then it has been perfect. Pass through audio jack even gave me a way to hook up my headphones too.
