  Expensive, Only two inputs, Speakers are weak

This monitor is tough to review because it is a fantastic monitor plagued by poor quality control.I received a monitor manufactured in February of 2016. It was pretty easy to set up and since I was upgrading from a 5 year old 1080p monitor I was immediately stunned by the quality in picture.

This monitor is very nice, but i really hate that it came with a defect such as backlight bleed, you cant see it until you look at like say an all black screen or maybe dark games or videos such as RE7, disappointed, but I'll put up with it.

  really, really smooth jumping from laptop screen to this

  This also came with backlight bleed. Thanks.

I would say price is a con, but cmon. You pay for the best, and imo, you're getting the best. I was tossing between this and the ASUS, and the few minor extra features this one gave for uniqueness, made me go for this. Upgrading from 60 Hz is an unreal experience.

  OSD is a little confusing

Unbelievably amazing monitor!!! I will not be able to express and stress in this review how amazing this monitor is to view videos, pictures, and most importantly the video games. The build quality is great and the picture is simply gorgeous!

If you want a great image quality and definition + super smooth gameplay, look no further. in my opinion 1440p 165HZ ips G-Sync is the way to go. I would recommend this monitor to users that want the best.

Very good performance.

An excellent monitor, worth the extra cost. Use this monitor for gaming, data analysis, programming and video editing. No issues what-so-ever. Out of the box monitor is rock-solid and after installing the updated drivers and a couple of adjustments, it's even better...

This monitor does have some bleeding that is noticeable with the lights off and a black screen and wouldn't be the best choice for watching movies. However, it wasn't made for watching movies, but for gaming and for that application it is absolutely amazing.

Very quality, can't seem to get the blacks I want but overall a great buy for a good price, I chose this over the IPS panel.

Awesome monitor, games really come to life. Plenty of real estate for multitasking. Bright and responsive. Very happy with it.
