Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update December 24, 2018 Still loving this monitor. No issues, trusty, and looks great. EDIT, FEB 26 2018 Still loving the monitor. Will keep posted here if issues arise. For now though, I recommend you hop on this monitor. Packing: Double boxed. Internal monitor box arrived in relatively good shape with lightly crushed corners. The monitor inside was cased in strong styrofoam packing that shelled nicely around the entire monitor housing, no movement in there. Came with monitor, power cable (no external brick, basic cable into monitor, which is nice for saving precious desk space), brushed metal legs as a stand, and a DP cable. Initial Feeling: The legs/stand feel extremely solid and heavy, a good sign. Some people need height adjustment on their monitor, which this doesn't have. I don't need that, and the tilt function works well. Even before turning on, the panel looks gorgeous and big. (I'm coming from a 23" 1080p LG that has served me fantastically for 6 years and still works great) No physical damage to the panel surface, a thin slick foam sheet was well placed. First Power: Setup was pretty easy. Use your own screwdriver instead of the included one to set up the stand. Plugged the included DP cable into a GTX 1050 Ti SSC (on Ryzen) and away we go. Monitor fired up in native resolution, setting 144hz was simple in the Nvidia control panel, and the monitor just worked. Personally, I changed no settings and am massively impressed with the colors and brightness of this monitor. Are there brighter panels?- Certainly. But this one is plenty bright and very fast, and looks great with HD films and games. Tested online for dead pixels and confirmed this monitor seems like a real keeper. Impressions: Have owned this monitor for 48 hours and am loving it by the second. I don't see a better deal on Amazon for refresh rate/size/panel type. And the quality is genuinely surprising at this price. I will add to this review if anything goes wrong and I have to use the included one year warranty.
