Review: Great price, great performance - perfect for work and play - Great monitor for Work and Play. It is very easy to assemble and sits nicely on my desk with its compact stand and slim bezel. With it's HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 support, I can take full advantage of what my Xbox Series X can graphically output, along with my Gaming PC. If you are considering buying this monitor for PC gaming, you'll need a pretty well spec'd PC to run games at a decent framerate due to the 4K resolution. You'll need at least a Nvidia RTX 5070 or AMD RX 9070XT graphics card. On a separate note, I find the colour contrast and brightness really good, I did tweak the colour codes to a present I found on reddit for this monitor, which did bring out a little more colour depth, but out the box it is ready to go - just ensure you switch off 'Eco' mode that is enabled by default that limits the brightness of the display! Don't expect amazing HDR performance if you enable it on your console or PC. It supports HDR 400, which is a lower tier HDR standard. To be honest, I did not buy this for purely HDR content, and there are plenty of OLED monitors that offer way better HDR support than this, but good OLED monitors are not in this price range. I'd suggest sticking with SDR, which looks great to me. The clarity and sharpness from a 4K monitor is unmatched and will be difficult to return to a lower resolution after this. Being an IPS monitor, it will never compete with OLED monitors when it comes to colour contrast, but coming from a TN panel 144hz 1080p monitor, it is perfect, and because I use it for Work and Play, OLED with the potential for burn-in was too much of a risk for me. The port selection is really generous, so it is perfect for hooking up multiple consoles or devices. I have not tried the speakers, but they are probably not very good. Luckily this monitor has a 3.5mm output, if you want to output sound to your way better speakers. Overall, I very pleased with the value for money, performance and quality you receive from this monitor, especially its versatility with the port selection.
Review: Definitely recommend - Spent a lot of time trying to choose the right Monitor to upgrade my gaming experience and I kept coming back to this one and was not disappointed. Great value and fantastic quality.
