NZXT Canvas 25F 24.5in 240Hz Gaming Monitor Review

The Canvas 25F fits the bill for FPS gaming, delivering crisp tear-free images at high frame rates (graphics card permitting). While the OSD lacks bonus extras for this application, it contains all the essentials and the CAM software means making adjustments is easily completed without needing to touch the physical joystick. The colour accuracy is superb, too.

It is a shame that the USB-C port doesn't output power, because that reduces the utility of this screen as a single-cable dock for your laptop. But there are plenty of video inputs so you can have your gaming PC, console, and even a TV set-top box attached as well.

The NZXT mounting arm is also excellent, providing plenty of adjustment with a robust and confidence-inspiring construction.

However, this is not a cheap screen. While the specification and performance are premium-grade, the price of £259 is high for this level of hardware – and you need to add at least £40 more for a stand, with another £100 on top of that for the mounting arm. For our combination of mounting arm and panel, you would have to shell out a cool £400.

Overall, the NZXT Canvas 25F is a great FPS gaming screen, but you need deep pockets to afford it.

You can buy the NZXT Canvas 25F from NZXT over HERE for £259 inc VAT (panel only). The NZXT stand is another £40 on top, while the monitor arm would set you back an extra £139.99.

Pros:

• Superb colour accuracy.
• Robust, well constructed optional mounting arm.
• 240Hz refresh with AMD FreeSync Premium.
• Smooth FPS gaming performance.
• NZXT Windows control software.
• Four video inputs including USB C.

Cons:

• Expensive, especially when factoring in the extra stand or mounting arm from NZXT.
• Mediocre gamut.
• Could do with a few more gaming features in OSD.

KitGuru says: The NZXT Canvas 25F is a very competent gaming screen, particularly for genres that benefit from rapid refresh rates such as FPS. The optional mounting arm is well constructed too. But the panel and arm together make for a hefty price tag.
