The 10-bit Deep Color panel can display over a billion hues simultaneously, for superb realism and natural shading. A blisteringly fast screen response time of just 1ms shows fast-moving action without blurring, while AMD FreeSync™ Technology matches the graphics signal to the screen timing to eliminate stuttering and tearing. Ultra-high dynamic contrast of 80M:1 intelligently adjusts brightness to reveal darker image details with greater depth and clarity. A full range of input connectors, including fast DisplayPort and Dual-Link DVI technologies, ensure compatibility with every device. The audio jack allows convenient attachment of headphones or desktop speakers.

With multiple inputs like DisplayPort, HDMI and Dual-Link DVI, this monitor enables you to multiply your viewing with Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture capabilities, e.g. watch a video from a media device with HDMI connection on one part of the screen, while browsing the Internet from a computer with DisplayPort connection on the rest of the screen.
Fast 1ms (GTG) screen response displays moving images without blurring.
HDMI(High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the digital video and sound standard for connecting the latest consumer electronics like Blu-ray players and game consoles.
DisplayPort is designed to be the future digital video and sound connection standard, capable of higher performance and convenience than older formats.
To save power, a timer can be set to automatically turn off the monitor after a user-defined internal.
Software enables the user to set a low power configuration of the monitor when the PC is in screen saving, PC off, and user absence. User can choose the time to turn the monitor off, to save power consumption.
Included PC software allows the user to change the OSD setting using their mouse.
The bundled Screen+ software splits the PC workspace into four self-contained panes to group application windows for easier viewing. Screen+ also supports multiple monitors.
Pros: Got this on sale for $270 during the holidays. -decent picture quality -has lots of input options DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, vga -has picture in picture (handy cause i got 2 systems hooked up to it. Now i can do go back and forth between the two just by looking at the corner instead of changing input signals. -has free sync (40-60hz range) -stand seems solid -lots of menu options for adjusting settings. -works fine with windows 10, 8.1 and 7 -in addition to being able to adjust the setting yourself there a several pre-set options for anyone who finds all the settings overwhelming.
Cons: -no remote, makes changing settings tedious -manual and driver are only available via website. -no speakers (knew that when purchased) though windows still defaults to the monitor for audio. I think its because there is a version of this monitor where the only different is the speakers so windows doesn't know the difference. -free sync range is a little tight, only 40-60hz. -stand only swivels up and down. No side to side. -Colors seemed a bit washed for my taste but i may lean towards a vary vivid color palate. -definitely need to adjust scaling in windows at 4k.
Overall Review: the monitor won't blow you away but for a budget 4k panel its a great deal at $300 or less. At the $400+ range there are better panels. I mostly use it for gaming and again at the price i don't have any real complaints about it. I'm annoyed by free sync getting turned off every time i turn on pip but thats not exactly the end of the world. Also the exact functions of the settings are unclear even after you go through the "digital" manual. So for the most part be prepared to experiment a bit.
