Pros: Great IPS monitor. The colors are fantastic as well as the response time when put on "extreme". The backlight dims in this mode, but honestly the panel is so bright regularly that its definitely ok. curve is pretty neat with that additional immersion.

Cons: The panel has one dead pixel, is missing a screw for the stand, and is missing the cable clip that should go on the back of the stand. I was looking forward to using that clip but its ok. Again, its a refurbished product, I don't expect perfection.

Overall Review: 4/5 eggs because of the missing components and the dead pixel. I wish I had gone for the 1440p model instead of the 1080p since it was on sale for cyber Monday for a similar price. Overall, great 144hz Freesync monitor! If you have the money though or its on sale, jump up to the 1440p resolution. It is becoming the standard.
