Excellent Monitor

This is the first 1440p 144hz monitor I've ever bought and I can safely say I can never go back to 1080p 75hz. I have literally no complaints about this monitor. The colors are excellent and the response time is great. Was very easy to mount and setup as well. Would recommend to anyone looking to upgrade.
