I love IPS panels. Their color accuracy and range is incredible and they look more true to life when compared to TN. While the advertising says 1ms it is important to know that NO IPS can do 1ms. However, as someone who has gamed on a TN panel before I can hardly tell the difference. So it's refreshing that this IPS monitor is incredible. It comes pre-calibrated from the factory so you don't have to and it looks stunning. it blew away my old IPS monitor that I used; 99% sRGB range is incredible. And I think this is exactly why despite being 27" it still manages to look good at 1080p. It comes free-sync and for me most importantly G-sync. Paired this with my 3700x and GTX1080 and every game looks smooth and stutter-free. As I said before this monitor is not 1ms but more like 4-6, it comes with a motion blur reduction thing but, don't use it. It adds ghosting to your images and makes twitchy movements nauseating. Plus, you can't use it with Free-sync or G-sync either so it's pointless. This monitor came with a 120hz out of the box at least for me. If you're using an Nvidia GPU make sure to set it to 144hz in the control panel. Speaking of which I was able to overclock this thing all the way up to 255hz, your mileage will vary but this thing surprised me. (it's also worth noting that apparently people get a message when you OC the refresh rate too high. I've never had this happen to me) High refresh rate is awesome though, especially in FPS. It's incredible how it helps you track and in my experience even helped me have better aim. It comes with HDR but do not get this for HDR. If you want to experience HDR look elsewhere. This is not 4k, it only has an 8bit panel instead of 10bit, and it has a peak brightness of only 350 nits. You need 1000 for HDR. All in all, this is an incredible monitor the only thing I highly suggest you do once you have it all set up (apart from fixing the refresh rate) is to set black stabilizer down. Mine came by default at 70 and it made black images look more like grey. I put mine down to 5, so I would just play around with it.

I received this product only one day ago, but so far it has impressed me. It has met or exceeded everything one should expect at this price point.Setup an Installation was easy. The mount and arm came on in 5 minutes. The monitor came with a DisplayPort cable that supports HDR10, so that was a welcome addition.Turning the monitor on, surprisingly, was a bit of an issue, and my only real problem with the monitor. The cylinder connector that powers the monitor is very stiff, and you have to apply some pressure to fix it in, even though the connector doesn't go through all the way. It took me some time to realize this as the monitor wouldn't turn on.The monitor is very versatile. The vertical viewing angles can be adjusted, and the height itself can be adjusted a lot. In addition, the monitor can be put in portrait.The 144Hz monitor means very smooth gameplay. Games like Rainbow Six Siege and CS:GO feel just so much more responsive. And it really can make the difference in close encounters with enemies.And Freesync makes such a huge difference as well. Before, I had so much trouble with screen tearing in games, especially 3rd person shooters like GTA V, that I had to turn on Vsync. Of course this led to performance issues. Now I can get a smooth experience without any of Vsync's downsides.Even though the primary aspects of gaming monitors are response time and refresh rate, this monutor's picture quality is superb as well. The 350 nit display makes very crisp bright whites. The 99% sRGB reproduction makes this great for amateur photo and video editing. Of course, the brightness band 10-bit color allow for HDR10. Now, I don't see HDR as a huge reason to buy this monitor. Windows 10's default HDR is broken. I tried turning it on and got a really gross screen, with text seemingly at a lower resolution. And if you have an AMD graphics card, you won't be getting any Netflix HDR. I tried and couldn't get it. Apparently it's only for Intel iGPU's and Nvidia cards. But playing games like Battlefield and Resident Evil in HDR is quite nice.Overall it's a great buy, and sits comfortably as a mid-range monitor. There are probably cheaper 144 Hz monitor, but I think the 10 bit color and HDR 10 of this could justify the price for you.
