Affordable and Powerful

Best monitor I've owned. Great price point for the features. Not the best color representation as other models (I have a BENQ GW2765 as well and there's better contrast in a side by side comparison) but I'm also sure that could be fixed if I got into the monitor settings. Stock mount is not adjustable at all, so that could be a problem if you need to raise/rotate.

Yee-haw

Definitely an extremely great starter monitor, but keep in mind: many features like the flicker-free, and no blurred pictures and HDR is ONLY available if your console/PC AND the game you're playing supports it.

Perfect cheap 4k primary monitor option

Changed the gamma to 4 (out of 5) and everything is amazing. Don't notice the difference of the eye safety mode, but that's the point, right? Perfect for a cheap option on 4k monitors that you'll use as your primary screen since you shouldn't be viewing it from an angle. Also, since it has a bit of a thick border, it gives the feeling of it being a little larger than the 27.something inches.
