Is this monitor good for competitive gaming?

Yes for casual and mid-level play. The 180 Hz refresh and 1 ms spec keep motion smooth, but VA smearing can show in dark scenes, so serious competitive players may prefer a faster IPS or TN panel.

Does it work with Nvidia graphics cards?

It will run at full resolution and refresh over DisplayPort, but FreeSync only syncs with AMD cards. Nvidia users get no variable refresh unless the driver happens to support it.

Can I mount it on a monitor arm?

Yes. It has VESA mounting points, and the included stand can be removed. Check that your arm supports the monitor's weight.

Does it have built-in speakers?

No. It has a 3.5 mm headphone jack but no speakers, so you need headphones or external speakers.

The monitor, its adjustable stand and the cabling needed to set it up. Check the listing for which cable is included.

Is the curve noticeable?

It is a gentle 1500R curve. Most owners find it subtle and comfortable for a single-screen desk setup.

Our take on the onn 27 in Curved QHD Gaming Monitor

The onn 27 in Curved QHD Gaming Monitor is a 2560x1440 VA panel with a gentle 1500R curve, a 180 Hz refresh rate and a 1 ms response-time spec. It supports AMD FreeSync Premium over DisplayPort or HDMI and adds HDR. The stand adjusts for height, tilt and swivel, and the monitor is VESA-mountable. It suits budget-minded players who want a big, fast QHD screen, but its VA panel means weaker viewing angles and more smearing than the IPS rivals at this size.
