Review: Really nice 1440p monitor for gaming - Got the monitor for my son for gaming with his Xbox and obviously the computer. It's noticeably sharper than a 1080p display, even at 27 inches. The picture is crisp and colors are great on SRGB mode. I don't use HDR on the monitor since max brightness is only around 450 nits. True HDR takes more brightness or more contrast, like from an OLED. I cant wait until a 27 inch OLED costs around $300-$400, but until then, I think IPS is the way to go right now. Mini LED is also still too expensive. The display looks great, has a good menu and is adjustable. The stand for the monitor is awesome, but if you want a monitor arm, it has the Vesa mount on the back. All around, great monitor for the newest Xbox and for computer gaming. Probably good for work as well, but I'm not a professional editor or anything, but its buttery smooth in regular tasks too. Kinda wish it was a $250 monitor and not a $350 monitor, but you get what you pay for, and this display looks awesome and plays great.
Review: Excellent Gaming Monitor - A Worthwhile Investment - After more than two months of using the monitor, I am convinced that it has been an excellent purchase. Fortunately, the price is no longer as high as it used to be and it is still a standout option in the market. I liked the care in the packaging and the perfect condition of the monitor when I received it. In terms of usage and setup, I haven't faced any issues, which is a big plus. When it comes to gaming, its performance is outstanding and efficient, making the gaming experience amazing, especially for its 165hz. Although I find the base a bit large for my taste, I recognize its necessity to firmly hold the monitor. I don't use the overclock function much, but it works well; I prefer to keep it at 165hz. The motion blur reduction didn't quite convince me, but this doesn't affect my overall rating of the monitor. Colors are vivid and the color pre-calibration is exceptional, which significantly enhances the viewing experience. However, I do have one criticism regarding the manual panel, which I find slow, especially when I need to switch profiles or game-specific settings. Also, the lack of a wider variety of profiles for total configuration. Despite these minor drawbacks, I highly recommend this monitor for its overall quality and performance.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty sweet
*by F***T on August 11, 2022*

180hz (O/c) at 1440p is great, and is honestly perfect for me personally. I’m ballin’ enough to have a 3080, which could do 4K, and I imagine the 4000 series and AMD equivalent will slay 4K gaming at higher refresh rates, BUT for the average eyeball? A 2K monitor is plenty resolution, with very little performance cost. Like VERY little, nay I say an unnoticeable frame hit from 1080p whereas your performance will take a hit running a game in 4K even with your upscaling technique of choice. The monitor is plenty bright, bright enough to play with light on and with the super sweet semi matte (not glossy) finish that I LOVE it makes the screen look fantastic. Colors look great too. Being an IPS screen, there will be some glow in which your mileage may vary, but it’s not very noticeable to me unless it’s dark and the whole screen is black, not immersion by any means. While I’m not really a fan of the 180hz hiding behind the overclock mode, which btw may perform different for each monitor as well, it works and runs just fine on my unit, so … woop woop. Oh, and the ports on facing out from the monitors back, not facing down, which I’m personally a fan of as I use a monitor arm but is a point to note
