Pros: 3440x1440 Adaptive Sync Great picture out of the box

Cons: No display port cable

Overall Review: Here's a down to earth, simple review, without getting into exact technical details like RGB %, color accuracy, etc: I'm coming from an older 24" 1080P TN panel (Asus WV246 IIRC as I write this). It was a nice monitor and served it's purpose for gaming and general use over the years. Having a new found interest in gaming again, I upgraded my PC internals again and needed a nice display to complete the package and bring it all together. Right out of the box, the display was stunning. The ultra-wide is definitely a beautiful thing to behold, comparing it to the 16:9 format. The curve is just about perfect for a typical viewing distance. There was no display port cable, but did include an HDMI, which I used for the setup. After a quick minute or two connecting everything, I powered it on. Initial thoughts: this thing is huge, seems like a bit overkill for about a split second, then just a nice big smile and a thought like 'Why didn't I have this a long time ago?'. The size, the picture, the resolution, the format - all simply stunning and the way it should have been from the start. The fact that a 1440p ultra wide is in the ~$400 price point is just icing on the cake. Just recently, something like this was ~$1000 price point, which IMO is too much for a monitor. I promptly tested a few games (a few random Steam games, Diablo III, etc) and the testing turned into several hours of play. The color, contrast, resolution, and brightness were all excellent (with no adjustments at all). The format was just very enjoyable to play. I thought it would be a bit overwhelming, but it wasn't. It was just nice. I thought maybe the larger screen would have a worse picture that close up, but the 25" 1440p actually has a greater pixel density than the 24" 1080p - so the picture was simply better in all aspects - especially compared to the TN panel. Better resolution (pixel density), better color, better contrast, better size and format. Simply stated - if you are looking to upgrade from an older 1080p like I was, this is a no brainer. Enjoy!
