Cooler Master GM25FP 180Hz Gaming Monitor Review

A Closer Look

This monitor isn’t reinventing the wheel or anything, it’s pretty straightforward in terms of design. It comes in at 24.5″ so it’s a little small compared to the 32″ and 34″ ultrawide I so often review. But hey, that’s remedied by just sitting a bit closer to it while you’re gaming. It has an IPS panel, with a decent anti-glare coating on it that should make it well-suited to a well-lit room.

The bezels are nice and slim on all four sides, with just a small Cooler Master logo in the bottom middle, but otherwise, there are absolutely no distractions here or obnoxious branding to be found, it’s a very clean and simple design

The stand is minimalist, offering just simple tilt forwards and backwards, and no height adjustment. If you want to rotate the screen, it’s pretty lightweight, so you just turn the whole monitor, stand and all, which can honestly be done with one hand anyway.

Around the back, you can see it has a nice low-profile design, so if you mount this to a VESA wall mount or arm, it’s going to sit pretty flush with the wall.

There’s a simple Cooler Master logo in one corner.

On one side, there’s a UI control stick which can also be clicked in as both the OK button or held down for the power control. The inputs are decent, offering HDMI 2.0 x2 and a Display port 1.4 port, allowing you to hook up your PC, laptop and console simultaneously for ease of use. There’s also a headphone jack should you need to pass through the display cable audio to your headphones or external speakers.
