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.

Only 1 year warranty? hard to trust a new monitor company for such a short term...
A shopper
on May 10, 2023
BEST ANSWER: Most monitors and many other electronic have a 1 year standard warranty and you have the option to purchase additional warranty. In the end if you want a product with a longer warranty it will be added in the cost of the product.

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!

Out of Range
Seems like a great monitor, except for one big problem.
Almost everything I plug into it, the screen just displays "out of range" and doesn't allow to change any setting or even access the OSD.
With some things, like a laptop, one can adjust resolutions etc to make it display. However, other devices don't allow this, and therefore the monitor has very limited use.
I have a very cheap portable monitor and cheap tv that dispaly everything no problem. I bought this monitor as an upgrade, but seeing as it won't display the majority of my electronics, I am returning it.
It's been nearly 2 weeks since I requested an RMA from Monoprice, and still no response.

Nice monitor
first two monitors arrived defective, first one had an intermittent "noise" artifact in image, second monitor had a 1.5 inch Vertical "band" artifact just right of center. (quality control?) Third monitor has been flawless for 5 days.

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.
