About this product
AOPEN's 27-inch curved gaming monitor (27HC5UR) features a 2560x1440 WQHD resolution, 165Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and a 1500R VA panel. Contrast ratio is 4000:1 for deep blacks. Brightness is 250 cd/m². Includes Adaptive-Sync. Priced at $170.70.
Our take
Stepping up to 1440p at 165Hz makes this monitor a sweet spot for sharpness and speed. The VA panel delivers excellent contrast—4000:1 ratio makes dark scenes look great. The 1500R curve is immersive without being extreme. At $170, it's a compelling value for mid-range gamers. The 250-nit brightness remains a weak point; colors can look washed out in bright rooms. Viewing angles are typical VA, not wide. Build quality is decent but not premium. If you prioritize contrast and resolution over brightness, this is a strong choice.
