Pros: Picture in Picture Mode

Cons: Stand is awful

Overall Review: This monitor is good. 1440p at 240hz with a good IPS panel is relatively rare at this price. After buying my last monitor, I've been extremely wary about ghosting, but this monitor's is very minimal. Personally, I don't see a huge difference in 240hz and 144hz when I'm playing games on controller, but when I play competitive mouse and keyboard games, I really feel it. It doesn't make me some sort of aimbot or anything, just feels nicer. As the cons show, the stand is absolutely terrible. Pretty much just the bare minimum with slight vertical rotation, no horizontal rotation, no height adjustment, and a fairly large 6.5 x 6.5 in square footprint. I would really recommend using some sort of 3rd party stand or arm. A good plus that I only noticed after the monitor came in is that it has Picture in Picture mode. Important note about the Picture in Picture mode, it caps your refresh rate to a max of 75. There are 3 size options and you can choose for the picture to be in any of the 4 corners of the screen. Pretty awesome feature but I do wish it still allowed the use of 240 hertz, or at least 144.
