I have used this monitor for quite a while and I really like it, I don't know too much about monitors but it is fast, responsive, bright, and has very nice colors.

I bought this monitor 3 years ago, and nothing has gone wrong, only good things like me clicking faster due to the 165hz refresh rate and 1 ms response time with G SYNC enabled! Let alone the style is unmatched by anyone and the stand can be rotated in almost anyway you want it to!

I've had this monitor for over a year now and still in love with the product. Thinking about grabbing another for a dual monitor set up

I bought this roughly 4 months ago, and have been using it since, moved from a TV to this and it works so much better.Had one dead pixel, but nothing out of the norm. Dead pixel goes on and off but doesn’t bother me.

I bought this to enjoy better graphics and frames when paired with my RTX 2080Ti. Have not regretted a single second of owning it. Having 1440P with frames of 165Hz makes gaming very enjoyable.
