Wow, blew my socks off!Managed to get this on Amazon renew for around £350. What a bargain that was!Incredible colours, incredible dark blacks, excellent quality and sharpness for the price. I upgraded from a BenQ Mobius 27” curved. While it’s a great monitor with fantastic speakers, I’d out grown it as I use my monitor for both work (MacBook) and high intensity games like CoD.I opted for the 32” IPA screen with adjustable stand. The IPA is much better for me, functions as a tv when I need it too as well. The input lag being so small on this monitor is definitely noticeable for me and is a vast improvement, no more issues with opps being able to shoot me before I even lift my gun lol.If you can pick this item up on Amazon Renew then it’s absolutely worth it, easy to set up, and just plug speakers in through the headphone jack. To clarify the model I got does not come with speakers so you do have to drop maybe £70 extra on decent ones. I went with the Anker speaker as I have their lower end model and sounds great.

Where to start. This monitor, for the price is incredible. For a VA panel the colours are excellent. The G-Menu software is great for changing options without having to use the buttons on the display. The 240hz is excellent with minimal to no ghosting on the medium overdrive preset. Free sync premium does an excellent job and giving no screen tearing with excellent range from 48hz-240hz. If you're new to ultrawides look no further. I upgraded from an IPS X34 Acer panel and this is brilliant.My Specs - 7800X3D, 32GB Ram, Rx 7900XTX

Bought this monitor for my partner while it was on offer but even if it wasn't I would buy it again fullprice as its worth it. The picture quality is really clear and detailed. There is no video lag or frame drops, functions really well no noticeable screen tearing. It's compatible with any console. Great for gaming! Brightness and height is adjustable as well as many other features. The price is brilliant for what you get, definitely will be getting myself one for my set up and recommending to friends and family.

This monitor is reasonably priced, wide, light, and fits three normal screens side-by-side for lots of side-by-side work.And it worked, right out of the box! Largest resolution was default. It looks awesome and feels good to use. There's a height adjustment and the highest height suits me perfectly. (I am tall).The stand is super sturdy and fits together easily. The colours match my laptop's perfectly, though the default gamma is a bit faded toward grey, may need to play with that.The Response time is not applicable to my uses for coding, so can't comment on it. I'm sure gamers will!I've only been using it an hour, so can't comment yet on longevity. But it works well on day one!

Very happy with this monitor. HDR looks very good indeed and the screen is able to get very bright making HDR content really pop. As it’s a VA panel the blanks are inky blank too compared to the washed out blacks you’ll see on an LCD panel. Monitors far more expensive than this don’t have HDR or have a poor HDR implementation, so if you’re looking for a great value good performer that renders HDR content incredibly well, you can’t really go wrong here. Reading reviews about VA panels online, I was worried about the smearing effect but honestly, if you need a high performance camera to try and spot it, for any normal human eyes, you’re not going to notice it. I certainly have had no issues gaming on this and the high refresh rate will keep the pixel peeping idiots that need absolute perfection fairly happy I’m sure. Can’t comment on the speakers as I use separate speakers for my PC but I’d assume they’re fairly mediocre like most built in monitor speakers. I use a £30 Creative speaker setup which is more than enough for my needs. Also, the OSD when setting it up at first is a bit slow and fiddly but once it’s setup you don’t need to touch it again, so no big dramas there. Overall, an amazing monitor and for a price that can’t really be beaten given the HDR capabilities, nice resolution and inky blacks from the VA panel. As I say, for any normal human eyes I think you’ll be very pleased. Other reviewers seem to agree here as well it seems.**UPDATE** This monitor does not have any built in speakers. As metioned in my review, not a problem as I use a set of external speakers, and built in speakers would probably sound pretty poor anyway, but thought I'd update my review to highlight their absence on this monitor. Still a great screen though, and everything I mention above still stands. Recommended.

I have to admit that I am a gamer that likes FPS games. I previously had a 32" Samsung 1440p G7, which was good, but this blows that out of the water.Being 27" means that it is smaller but surprisingly its not very noticeable. However I do miss it not being curved as a curved screen suits my eyes better as I also wear glasses. With this one being flat I need to sit straight on to get the best picture. But, being smaller also means it is crisper and the HDR is amazing. Bright whites, deep blacks and very vibrant colours. It has a very good refresh rate and also response time and when playing fast FPS game I dont notice any smearing or ghosting.My old Samsung was twice the price but only half as good as this one.Just be aware that the stands legs stick out quite a bit so if like me you have a large mouse mat it may be a problem.All in all I cant fault this monitor one bit and I'm very pleased I got it.
