Mecer K3G3R 31.5" QHD (2560x1440) 144Hz 4ms 16:9 VA Freesync Curved Gaming Desktop Monitor

2 months after warranty past. display is starting to make lines on the bottom of the screen.

I bought this monitor to replace my Benq 24" 144hz 1080P 1MS TN panel. Overall it is a great display, solid/bright/vivid colours. However, I came across 2 issues and one downside.

The first issue is that the Freesync tech on this monitor is seriously lacklustre, When running with the GSYNC compatibility mode on my 1080GTX Ti I get endless screen flicker in-game. It's understandable since the two systems arent compatible by default however, I logged a fault with Wootware as a precaution, sent the screen back and they also experienced the same problem on both an Nvidia as well as an AMD card! They sent me a replacement screen and the same problem persisted, since then I have just disabled the Freesync module. I instead use Rivatuner to cap my games framerate to about 138 fps to keep below the monitors refresh and the input lag isn't noticeable and not debilitating.

The second issue is that the monitor completely lacks any form of manual so navigating the monitor's key menu is a non-descriptive nightmare of guesswork. However, I did find a manual for a different brand of the exact same panel below which helped greatly:

Finally the last well "downside" is that the monitor is 4MS and going from a 1MS TN panel to a 4MS VA panel is DEFINITELY noticeable however I did get used to it after some time. If you absolutely have to have a 1MS screen I would advise looking at the AOC 32" equivalent monitor which is a 1MS 144HZ VA panel.

All in all its a good budget 32" panel with a few drawbacks.

Hands down the best value for money monitor out there, Super screen, sharp, bright colors, no noticeable ghosting, good build quality, i recommend GTX 1070 or higher, As always, world class service from Wootware.

Details for the prospective buyer:
The bezel is ultra thin. Roughly 1.5cm across. There are 3 LED strips on the rear of the monitor, which only shine in red. The stand is a three-part construction, consisting of the boomerang metallic base, a metal shaft, and a disconnecting mounting bracket on the rear of the monitor, released by a push of a button.

Color-depth is truly impressive, too, with blacks and greys contrasted really well. The curvature of the monitor has it appearing smaller, but you're quickly reminded of its size when you bring up any content, or search for your icons in 2K resolution. There's an impressive degree of up/down tilt on the panel as well.

The power supply is built into the monitor, so a standard kettle cord is all you'd need, which is included in the box. You're supplied with an HDMI cable, as well as a Display Port cable too with retention clips. If you understand panels, you'd know that VA panels inherently have more motion blur and ghosting than a VN panel. This is easily resolved by setting the refresh rate in the monitors on-screen menu to high.

TL:DR:
Great monitor. All cables included. Borderless appearance. Perfect amount of curvature. Gaming/workhorse compatible, price point recommended.

best value for money! and its big! cant go wrong.
good service aswell from wootware. i will be only be buying from them.
even though the delivery came from capetown i still got it in 2 days

This is a great monitor and i.m.o there is nothing that comes close to it in this price range.

Large display area - Check
1440p - Check
144hz - Check
Freesync (works with Nvidia) - Check

No problems with the color, mine does not seem to have any dead pixels, some ghosting/blur as to be expected with any VA panel.

I would recommend this as I am loving this display. The included display port cable was a nice touch.

Great service as always from Wootware.

Have this for a week now, BFV PUBG FIFA19 Movies etc, everything just looks and feels extra coming from a 27inch monitor, this is a must have if you looking for a new screen the motion blur is there but you wont notice it unless you really go look for it...."THERE IS NO PERFECT MONITOR" but at this price and for what it offers it is perfect

Switched from a Dell S2716DG TN panel to this VA panel. It took a while to get used to the motion blur caused by the VA panel. I found that 120hz works best for this panel.

Overall the built quality is excellent, and for the price this monitor is excellent.

Also 2560x1440 resolution on this 31.5 inch panel is awesome, very smooth image.

Been using this monitor for two weeks now and for the price this is great value and does everything as advertised.
You basically sacrifice height and swivel adjust and I do notice some light bleed but its not an issue when gaming.
The curve takes some getting used to but going from a 27" monitor, this is still a monster display and fantastic for gaming.
Just want to add that this monitor works great with G-Sync enabled on my GTX1080. Latest Nvidia drivers now support most FreeSync displays.
Thank you Wootware!

I have had this display for a week now and its absolutely amazing
The only snag was I had to disable g-sync as I have a Nvidia card but alas great value for the price
also a shout out to the great service provided by the wootware team
