Great 144Hz monitor with many different viewing angles

Great looking monitor that has plenty of inputs. I also love how easily it can be adjusted to different heights and angles.

Exactly what I wanted, but, obvious was a return

Received the expected product and it worked great. It was exactly what I wanted after doing research into the most popular 240hz gaming monitors. The only problem was I could tell the monitor was returned before (some assembly was already one and installed) and the packaging was damaged. I don't really care in the long run, but, I wish Adorama did better QA on the actual shipping materials.

Great monitor for gaming!

This monitor is great! With the 144hz refresh rate, it’s perfect for PC gaming. Awesome that Adorama has it in stock when no one else did... and at the LOWEST PRICE! Can’t beat that!!

5 stars from a cautious buyer.

Excellent price considering the quality response time at a refresh rate of 144hz. It should be noted that it is stuck at 60hz if you use an HDMI so just stick to the Display Port so you can get 144hz if you care for buttery smooth visuals during motion. The height adjustment works well and I don't really have any major complaints which is pretty rare for me.
