Amazing choice to complete any setup

The monitor is really nice, a little pricy but you definitely get what you paid for. The fast refresh rate makes gaming feel really responsive with a170hrz refresh rate. Also there is amazing color accuracy which makes it also double as a good monitor for watching shows due to the amazing color balance.
