What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it is built for competitive play alone, praising its sharp motion handling at 360Hz and low input lag. Both found its picture quality limited, with TN's weak viewing angles and colours and no HDR; RTINGS saw image duplication with DyAc 3 strobing and blur at low refresh rates, and ProSettings called it very expensive.
