What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it is strong value for competitive gaming, praising its smooth, responsive 320Hz play and unusually good colour and brightness for the price. The common complaint is the lack of speakers; they differ on HDR, which PC Gamer found surprisingly pleasant and Tom's Guide weak, and PC Gamer also noted some motion blur and no backlight strobing.
