Pros: -165Hz is definitely noticable over 60 or 100Hz. You may not notice it right away, or even looking at them side by side, but if you play at 165Hz/165+fps for a couple of hours then go back to a 100 or 60Hz monitor, it will feel slow and chunky. -for those games that you can't hit a consistent 165fps+ on, G-sync keeps things smooth -Compared to the other monitors I considered, this one had the smoothest motion as well as the least amount of bleed, banding and clouding (it's especially nicer than the Dell, has pros/cons vs Asus) -1440p is especially nice for productivity -I won the display lottery - I have three of these and no dead pixels, quality issues etc. (yes I like this monitor enough that I bought two more). -Hits a sweet spot on price for a monitor with these features. the only cheaper one is the Dell, which I did not like at all. -normal TN vs IPS pros
Cons: -Some may not like the matte coating on the display vs other competing displays (doesn't bother me at all, it's only really noticeable to me when the screen is white.) -Colours and gamma are not as nice as some of the competing monitors (but better than some others). You can compensate for this by calibrating it correctly, but it's a huge pain - this is where the egg gets dropped. -Terrible speakers. They're barely louder than a cell phone, why are these even included? Who would buy an expensive monitor like this and then use such terrible speakers? -The 1080p monitors I use at work make me sad now. -I don't particularly care for the red colour on the stand - personal preference -normal TN vs IPS cons
Overall Review: Runnning 3 of these for a resolution of 7680x1440 (48:9) is a sight to behold, but requires a beast GPU to run. expensive hobby.... I highly recommend checking out the Lim's Cave review of this monitor on youtube. It's long, but extremely thorough. It may seem like a negative review, but overall he recommends it providing you are ok with the matte coating, and you get lucky with quality control (the latter of which applies with any manufacturer). No monitor is perfect - I looked at this and a few others in person before I made my purchase, and none of them would get a "five egg" review. They all have pros and cons, and for me, this one had the least annoying cons.
