ASRock PG25FFT review
I bought this monitor a few weeks ago, and this is my review of it:
The monitor is easy to set up, taking around 7 minutes from unboxing to using it. It supports up to 180Hz, just as advertised.
There is no ghosting or any kind of motion blur, even in high-paced FPS games like CS2.
The colors are solid out of the box, though I must confess I am not much of a color nerd when it comes to monitors, but it looks very good to me.
The monitor has a joystick that is also a power button, instead of traditional buttons to navigate the menus. It is easy to use, and you get used to it fast. There, you can change color profiles, brightness, contrast, and all the usual stuff, so you don't have to settle for the default look of the image.
It also offers eye protection, V-Sync, and HDR, but I didn't really use those, to be honest. Some people said HDR looks washed out, but I did not notice that when I toggled it, though, like I said, I don't use it.
Overall, the image looks crisp, clean, and causes no eye discomfort even after extended use.
Only 1 Con I found so far:
1.The monitor is not very stable.
The out-of-the-box mount is quite thin, and since the monitor is ~25", any rapid mouse movement will cause the monitor to "shake." Now, whenever you are gaming (the only scenario where you use rapid mouse movement), you won't notice this, even when you do a rapid 180 on low sensitivity, since you are immersed in what is happening, but it's still a con. The monitor should be stable.
This, however, can be fixed with a custom mount since the monitor does come with a 4×4 (10cm×10cm) mount on the back.
It comes with built-in speakers that do their job about as well as you would expect from any built-in monitor speakers. It also comes with a headphone jack, 2 HDMI ports, and a single DisplayPort.
My final rating: 9/10
It would be 10/10, but I give it -1 for the poor mount design.
Overall, if you are on a tight budget, or just don't want to spend much on a new monitor but still want a good monitor — buy it. I personally would buy it again, so don't worry, you won't waste your money on it.
If you have any questions, I would be happy to answer them to the best of my knowledge and ability.
