Dough Spectrum One 27-Inch Gaming Monitor - 4K HDR, 144Hz Refresh Rate, 1ms Response, IPS Panel, Freesync Premium Pro, USB-C Docking, DisplayPort, HDMI (Eve Spectrum) (Monitor Only, Glossy)

This is a long term review of the Spectrum One 27” 4k monitor that I have been using -First off, the display quality is like a punch to the eyeballs—in a good way. Colors are so vivid that I half-expected a unicorn to prance across the screen. The 4K resolution combined with the glossy finish makes everything pop; it’s like my old monitor was a potato, and this one’s a golden, crispy French fry.Now, about that glossy Gorilla Glass. It’s sleek and makes the visuals sharper than my grandma’s tongue at Thanksgiving dinner. But beware: it also reflects everything. I caught a glimpse of my own reflection mid-game and nearly had a heart attack, thinking an NPC had broken the fourth wall.Ports galore! This thing’s got more connections than a social butterfly at a networking event. HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C—you name it. I felt like a kid in a candy store, plugging in all my gadgets.But, and it’s a big but (like, “ate too many donuts” big), the monitor has its quirks. Sometimes, when it wakes from sleep mode, it takes its sweet time, like it’s stretching and yawning before showing me the desktop. And don’t get me started on the occasional black screen when switching resolutions. It’s like the monitor’s playing a prank, and I’m not laughing.Also, a word to the wise: skip the official stand. It’s pricier than a gourmet latte, and you can find a decent VESA stand for a fraction of the cost. I got one for twenty bucks, and it holds up the monitor like a champ.In conclusion, the Dough Spectrum One is like that eccentric friend who’s a blast to hang out with but occasionally leaves you scratching your head. Stunning visuals, a plethora of ports, but with a few idiosyncrasies that keep things… interesting. If you’re up for the adventure and don’t mind the occasional hiccup, give it a whirl.Oh, and if you want a deep dive into its quirks, check out this honest review:

I got this monitor back in mid August and wanted to write a long-term review about it because there's a lot of people out there who are iffy on buying a monitor from Dough or Eve (however you want to call it) which is totally understandable. You cannot find a monitor for this price that comes in a glossy display, 100W USB-C charging, a full USB hub, 4K and a high refresh rate for this price. For a Windows PC, finding a glossy monitor with these specs is unheard of. For me, I have a MacBook Pro and this is essentially a Studio Display for almost ⅓ the cost. The colors are sharp and scrolling through sites is so smooth and gives me the ProMotion like feel on a display. The downsides are it does take a while for the monitor to connect to the device when plugging in and sometimes it won't show a computer is connected when connecting my Mac in clamshell so I need to open it up every so often so it displays. I've heard their support and updating the firmware is a bit tricky but I've never had any experience with that myself. Overall, it's an amazing monitor for the price for what you get and if you have a lot of devices, but if you're unsure of the brand or the support, I'd stay away and go with a more reputable brand such as ASUS or Dell

Very bright, crisp picture! The glare is not so bad, only if you have a light behind your back but in return, you will have deep blacks and it is very easy to clean! The build quality is on a good level. Unfortunately had to return to excange on 32-inch version (to have a scale 125% in Windows)

It's hard being someone who likes glossy monitors. Apple gets it - both the monitors they sell have glossy finishes. But if you're a PC user the pickings are extremely slim. This was the only monitor I could find that is glossy AND has a decent refresh rate suitable for gaming. But of course then if you do a little research you learn all about this company's troubled history.I took a chance, hoping Dough/Eve/whatever had turned it around. Set this thing up yesterday and immediately ran into problems. The monitor takes forever to turn on when connected to my laptop. Also during the four hours or so I used it yesterday it just went black at one point, requiring me to reconnect it. I figured this might be the firmware, so I checked and sure enough there was a newer firmware available. Updated that and the brightness was then messed up - the brightness seemed to be half of what it was before at the same setting, making it impossible to get the picture I had before. Also during this episode I noticed the monitor identifies itself with a different SKU, a confusing situation the company says is because they re-used the internals of the other (cheaper) model for the new one. This is not helpful when going to their page to look at available firmware versions.I can't even turn the monitor off and back on again without fiddling with my laptop to get it to reconnect.The only reason I took a chance on this is I was able to get it from Amazon. Not only do I have their standard purchase protections but the holiday guarantee as well, giving me the extended return window to the end of January. I will almost certainly be making use of that. As nice as the picture is (and it is nice when everything is working properly), the firmware on this thing is an absolute joke.

After few months with it. It's definitely worth the the purchase.Screen quality is too notch. Love watching movies and gaming on it.Glossy and gorilla glass!!

The power supply does not appear to be for the United States.
