World of Warcraft looks beautiful. Everything is super smooth. I can play for longer periods of time without fatigue. I feel like I play better. I'm more responsive. I'm constantly in awe at the way the game looks and feels. The screen size is just right.

  True 144hz refresh rate. Comes with display port cable, HDMI cable, and USB 3.0 extension cable. Has four USB 3.0 ports (2 rear, 2 side). No lightbleed issues so far. Packaging and build looks on par with the price. Minimal frame size surrounding monitor.

  Speakers. Don't even think about using this monitor's speakers. Terrible. On screen display is not intuitive. Perhaps a joystick like input system would work better.

Don't buy this ! It's my third one and i have to rma it tomorrow. With all the delays and the waiting for the replacements it's been 30 days and i will probably have to ask a refund and lost the cost of the shipping and the express coverage. 100$ lost....wow. Backlight bleed on all my 3 monitors.
