Is this monitor good for competitive gaming?

No. The 100Hz refresh rate helps, but the 5ms VA response time causes visible smearing in fast shooters. A 144Hz IPS panel suits competitive play better.

Does it work with a PS5 or Xbox Series console?

It accepts 1080p over HDMI, so consoles run at 1080p and up to 100Hz where supported. It cannot show 4K or 120Hz, so you lose the consoles' higher modes.

Can I mount it on an arm or wall bracket?

Yes, it has a 75 x 75mm VESA pattern. The stand does not adjust for height, so a mount is the only way to raise it.

Does it have DisplayPort?

No. Inputs are HDMI and VGA only, so you connect with HDMI for the full 100Hz.

Is the curve noticeable on a 24.5-inch screen?

The 2800R curve is gentle and mostly felt at the edges. At this size it is a design choice rather than a big immersion gain.

Are the built-in speakers usable?

They handle system sounds and casual video, but they are quiet and lack bass. Headphones or external speakers are better for games and music.

Our take on the Gawfolk 24.5" Curved Gaming Monitor

The Gawfolk 24.5-inch curved gaming monitor is a budget 1080p VA panel with a 100Hz refresh rate, a 2800R curve and a white edgeless design. It covers the basics for casual play and desktop work: built-in speakers, low blue light and flicker-free modes, and VGA plus HDMI inputs. Its 5ms response time, 250 cd/m2 brightness and lack of DisplayPort or height adjustment put it well behind similarly priced 144Hz IPS rivals. The low owner rating suggests buyers often run into quality and support problems.

What reviewers say

1.9 / 5161 ratings

Owner feedback is poor overall, with buyers most often reporting dead pixels, backlight bleed or panels that failed early. Some find the picture acceptable for the price, but many say the curve and 100Hz rate do not make up for the build and reliability issues.

What people mention

Panel qualityCriticisedOwners frequently report dead pixels, backlight bleed and panels failing within months.
BuildCriticisedThe stand and casing feel flimsy, and the tilt range is very limited.
PictureMixedThe VA contrast and colors look fine for casual use, but brightness is low and motion smears.
Refresh rateMixed100Hz is smoother than 60Hz, but the 5ms response time limits fast-paced games.
SoundCriticisedBuilt-in speakers are quiet and thin, fine only for basic system sounds.
SetupPraisedBuyers say it assembles quickly and works as soon as it is plugged in.
