The Review I wish I read before ordering...
First let's list the positives: -The curve! That curve is absolutely fantastic and will make it hard to go back to any flat screen in my opinion. -Size! 27 or 32 inches is perfect for any 1 person gaming setup. (I have the 27 inch and its perfect, especially with that curve) -Freesync (Gsync maybe)! Been using this on my Xbox, Freesync works no problem. -144hz. Can't test this as my Xbox only goes to 60hz, but I'm sure it would have worked well with my Series X. -Deep blacks and great "picture" quality. Picture is in quotes for a reason ill get to in a sec. Blacks are inky and contrast is good for a $300 monitor. VA dark room performance is better than IPS panels as expected. The above all sounds good right? It checks all the right feature boxes, and sounds like the perfect $300 monitor right? Sadly, wrong! For really only one reason listed below. Negatives: -GHOSTING!!!!! The response time is AWFUL! Everything in motion smears! Hence the "picture" in quotes above. The screen looks great when a static image is displayed, but the second things are in motion its a smudgey mess. Instantly noticeable over my IPS 75hz Freesync panel. Absolutely disgraceful! There is no reason to own a monitor with such great features and high refresh rate when the ghosting is going to ruin any of those benefits. Obviously, I would not recommend this monitor to anyone looking for picture quality or competitive edge. The 1 con far outweighs all of this monitors pros, unfortunately. Unless you're shelling out for a Samsung G7 monitor, I would steer clear of monitors with VA panels as well.
