Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Motion Clarity: The native 300Hz refresh rate and ELMB mode provide incredibly fluid motion and responsiveness, which users find superior for fast-paced competitive gaming compared to lower refresh rate displays.
  • Vibrant and Accurate Colors: Reviews frequently highlight the excellent out-of-the-box color calibration and vibrancy, with many users considering it one of the best non-OLED IPS panels for both gaming and productivity.
  • Robust Ergonomic Stand: The monitor features a high-quality stand that allows for extensive adjustments, including height, tilt, swivel, and rotation, providing a comfortable and customizable setup.

Cons

  • Frequent Quality Control Issues: A significant number of reviewers reported receiving units with dead or stuck pixels, as well as noticeable backlight bleed and IPS glow in the corners of the panel.
  • Poor Long-Term Reliability: Multiple users experienced total hardware failure, where the monitor stopped powering on or displaying images after only a few weeks or months of use.
  • Inconvenient Stand Design: The stand's rear stabilizing leg is criticized for pushing the monitor too far forward on the desk, and the large footprint can be intrusive for users with limited desk space.

    One of the best monitors for PC gaming available, possibly the best non OLED.

    High refresh rates and FPS are the most important for competitive gaming, while still looking gorgeous for single player titles.

  5. Dead Pixel, right outside return window. How unfortunate

    This by far is the best monitor for a 4090 graphics card set up. Why, for competition gaming stable 300 hz. I mean stable. Set up correctly that’s even with ultra settings. Depends greatly on your knowledge of Nvidia control panel and in app setting, however, the sniper function is entirely too much fun. I have an Alienware 4k 240 monitor beside it collecting dust. IOPS is amazing. For the price point you will not be disappointed. You will be laughing!

    When I built my new PC, I wanted to find a display that could take advantage of my new 7900 XTX card and push 2K gaming to the highest frame rates possible. This display has been excellent and provides fantastic fluid motion and great clarity/brightness. My only qualm is the small stabilizing leg on the back of the stand pushing it further forward on my desk than I would like.

  8. Great non-OLED monitor

    Replacing an over a decade old Dell full HD with this QHD, gets me about 2x the pixels with about 20% more pixels in the width and 20% more in the height as a rough guess. So at the same frame rate, the graphics card has to push twice as many pixels. This matters if your graphics card is older… so just to drive the existing frame rate, the card works appropriately more. So they generate more heat, and thus the fans kick in more. So for my good old RTX 2080ti, where at 60fps at HD, that same game at 60fps at QHD cause the fans to spin up much higher as the card temp settled in at a higher steady state temp. So then its a matter of what you want.

    For me, I’m an office/graphics user with casual gaming, not a competitive gamer. So I just lowered the game frame rate to 30fps (playing Neverwinter Nights), and the temps went back down and the fans slowed per the fan curve and its all good. Not a fast action FPS game after all. If I was playing a fast shooter where a lot was going on, then the higher temps and accompanying fan noise wouldn’t matter I suspect, because there would be way more going on on screen I’d be involved with, and the audio of the game would overpower the fan noise below the desk.

    And as a non-pro gamer, non-streamer, I don’t have any value in the gaming mode features. Having the monitor place a cursor aim dot mid screen over any game graphic to target assist could be useful I suppose. The color boosting/shadow boosting/etc effects based on the game play options could be useful there as well, but for me, I’m generally of one mind set: give me a defined large color space that accurately reproduces colors as the source intended. I need videos to look on playback on a TV the way I color graded them on the monitor with PC. I need the graphic I drew to color laser print out with the colors I expect. For that I don’t change the graphics settings after I’ve set them up.

    The ‘programmable button’ promised setup – I’m not sure that works at all. There are 4 buttons on the back. One is the menu joystick, one is the power on/off button, but two of them (default to pulling up gameing and graphics presets: Game Plus (FPS counter, crosshairs, timers) and GameVisual (color modes) should be programmable to not pull up those preset selection menus, but allow you to configure that they directly do a very specific thing. I’ve not gotten that to work. I’ve defined the 2 preset things I want done, then set the buttons to specify which preset to execute. And they do, but only once. The preset gets executed and the button’s definition then seems to reset to the default again. Maybe user error but as I don’t really need to quickly turn a crosshair on and off, or engage a game genera specific color mode to make adventure gaming easier… I don’t have the motivation to really try and figure it out. Seems like its a bit wonky.

    It does the two things I wanted from it, ok the 3 things.
    1) Its not super expensive (now in 2025, vs past pricing)
    2) Its higher resolution that HD and fits the space on my desk
    3) It autoswitches to the active input – so depending on which computer I have turned on, the appropriate input is detected and auto switches.

    So I get more detail, brighter display, and don’t have to manually select the input by scrolling through the sequence : HDMI – DVI – Composite – VGA.. with many button clicks, which was the case with the old Dell monitor from 15 years ago.
