★★★★☆
Amazing after manual calibration.
Pros:
+ Capable of being an amazing display.
+ 75hz is great for people that don't have high-end rigs that can reach 144+ fps.
+ Sleek design, minimally-sized bezel.
+ Quick and easy swapping between HDMI 1, HDMI 2, and VGA channels.
+ Great OSD.
Cons:
- Terribly calibrated out of the box. It will need a little bit of TLC through the OSD. (Set color mode to SRGB, set "overdrive" to 0, set "black boost" to 0.)
- Seriously, disable the "overdrive" setting in the OSD under the "Gaming" tab. It's by far the worst thing anyone has ever created. That's the feature that is causing your monitor to have that really strange draggy, clippy effect.
- Stand is stuck at a standard height, but it can be tilted upward and downward. The stand is at a fairly decent height for most users, anyway.
- Absolutely horrendous internal speakers.
Summary:
With amazing color (after re-calibration), 1080p @75hz, and sleek body-design, and cheap price, this monitor is easily comparable to my primary monitor which cost me $200. The only major difference between my $200 monitor is that it has a better internal speaker and extremely adjustable swivel stand.
