What reviewers say
Reviewers agree its 500Hz refresh gives outstanding motion clarity and responsiveness for competitive play, with bright, vivid colour for an esports screen. The common caveats are the high price for a 25-inch 1080p monitor and the powerful PC needed to use it fully; PCWorld also found HDR lacklustre.
