" ... Terrific monitor, nice to look at even when is off. ... "
" ... 144hz / IPS / 1440p paired with a 1080ti, absolutely glorious gaming panel. ... "
" ... No back light bleed or dead pixels. ... "
" ... I use it only seldom for games but love working with it using the split screen. ... The only reason for the missing star is the speakers are minimal and for such a huge, beautiful screen it seems demeaning to have such weak speakers. ... Yet, the screen is a SUPER screen. ... "
" ... CON: I use a similar monitor (except IPS) at work, and color-wise this monitor isn't going to give you the same range. ... "
" ... There are zero stuck pixels. ... This monitor is unreal. ... "
" ... This monitor is excellent, the stand it comes on allows you to put your monitor in exactly the position you want it in. ... Not to mention if you are hanging out with friend and want to show them something on your screen the ease of just pushing the monitor over and swiveling it is just too fun! ... The resolution is also fantastic the build quality on this monitor is A+. ... "

" ... I sold it for a Dell 4K. ... However, I find that 4K is not what I need for general purpose uses and this was not only over kill, but I thought it was bad. ... I am guessing that the monitor was fantastic but the new 2K & 4K cause issues on some video cards. ... "

" ... But if you are wanting a great monitor for 4K gaming console, then you can’t go wrong with this one. ... "
" ... i've spent hours trying to get it anywhere near the bright and vivid 4K IPS panel on my dell laptop, but no joy. ... i would recommend going the IPS route, or getting something cheaper and waiting for the newer 4K 144hz panels to come out. ... "
" ... Very quick response times, although it is not really going to be used for gaming more so than watching 4k quality videos as i have a better choice in gaming monitors. ... The colors and overall quality are very good for the price, and 4k is worth the jump. ... "
