Pros: 21:9 ratio is beautiful, almost all games support it and the only really downside to it seems to be watching youtube videos, but almost all movies fit the entire screen perfectly and it’s very satisfying, high refreshrate is smooth and looks good, very good colors and can be easily tuned to aamzing color accuracy if u need it to be, windows HDR is really really really bad for some reason and when it’s enabled the monitor become like super sharp and grainy for absolutely no reason, RGB looks super cool and every color blends very well, the monitor menu is basic and easy to get used to although I wish there was more picture control built in
Cons: The biggest by far issue for me would have to be the ghosting, I’ve been using only 144hz instead of it’s rated 200 due to extreme ghosting when the pixels have to chnage from dark colors into darker colors or vice versa, the ghosting is virtually gone when the screen is displaying mostly bright objects, the ghosting has gotten better over time like maybe the monitor has to be broken in further, I’ve been using it for about a week or two now and other than the ghosting it has performed great, and yes my graphics card and cpu and drivers can perfectly and easily handle the high refreshrates and I’m using DisplayPort not HDMI
Overall Review: Overall I’d say this monitor lives up to 90% of whay it claims with ghosting being really it’s only issue, if someone were to buy this monitor I’d recommend using 120hz or 144hz to begin with for a couple weeks then switching it up to 200hz, bc when I first used the monitor at 200hz it was virtually unviewable because of how much ghosting there was, also a small oversight when i bought this monitor is thay if your going to actually be using this for gaming you have to take into thought the FPS hit that your going to get due to running the higher resolution, in rainbow six siege on ultra settings i dropped about 20 frames when going to the monitor from a normal 1080p one
