Question 1

Does this monitor rotate into portrait mode natively? I mean, obviously I could buy a new vesa stand. But would it be able to be used in portrait with the stand it comes with?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this monitor can rotate to portrait using the stand that it comes with.
 The stand allows you to move the monitor higher or lower, you can tilt up and down, and turn left or right. There are also screw holes for mounting the screen if the stand is lost or damaged. I am very pleased with this purchase. Hope this helps.

Question 2

Does it come with a wall mount?

Accepted Answer

This has the small VESA mount...200x200. The monitor is NOT heavy, and you don't need to have a mount rated for a "big monitor". I've owned lots of VESA mounts and this monitor will work with anything really.

Also note that the desk mount is really incredibly nice for a monitor this cheap. It raises up and down easily with one finger. It's counterbalanced movement. Kind of like an expensive Dell monitor. That means I can have a power strip behind the monitor and out of sight, but when I need to access it, I can just raise the monitor.

Question 3

Does this monitor run true 1440p @144hz?

Accepted Answer

Go with the DP cable, but yes. *One* of the HDMI ports will also do 144hz, but the displayport is more reliable.

Question 4

how do you insure the monitor is in 144hz as it isnt a option in the menu? Thanks

Accepted Answer

This should be set on the computer you have it attached to. I assume you are using a graphics card. For nvidia, it should be within the nvidia control panel. For AMD graphics I am not sure, but they likely have similar settings in their software. You can also get some basic controls in the windows display settings, but not sure if it allows you to change the refresh rate. You do need to turn on free sync in the displays settings, your graphics settings, and also possibly the game settings to make sure it is working properly as well.

Question 5

Does this monitor not have speakers?

Accepted Answer

Regrettably the monitor does not have speakers. It is a good unit though.

Question 6

What standard are the HDMI inputs? Any confirmation of 2.0?

Accepted Answer

HDMI 2.1 but due to limited settings inside chip from monitor that disabled 4K and above. That's normal what this Westinghouse use 2K. Two HDMI and one DP only run up to 2K resolution.

I find out extra info about PlayStation 5 system use HDMI 2.1 that support up to 8K. That's great news! :-)

Question 7

I have a question: I just bought this and realized that it's only in 2K... the RTX 3080 just came out and i plan to get it. Will this still be a good monitor that will run the RTX 3000 series???

Accepted Answer

Yes - it depends what you're doing with it to some extent, but a 32" monitor works very well in 2K resolution. With a 3000 series graphics card, you will be able to run that 2K resolution with higher graphics settings at a higher framerate than you would with a 4K monitor.

Question 8

Does it use yet another garbage binned Samsung VA panel that flickers like a strobe light with FreeSync enabled?

Accepted Answer

No, it's more like a Pixio 329 Panel.  No strobing, works well.  Challenging to calibrate though with no online guides.

Question 9

Has anyone figured out how to change the RBG lights on the back?

Accepted Answer

It's an option in the menu. You only have the choice of red green or blue.

Question 10

how to adjust the height of monitor? there is no instruction in manual. I know I can tilt the monitor bare handed.

Accepted Answer

The monitor simply raises and lower with a small amount of hand pressure applied below or above the screen.  There is no locking mechanism.  Spring tension is all that holds it in place.  The monitor displayed in the email is shown to be at its maximum height.  If yours does not hold position on its own then I would think that stand/mount is faulty.
