What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it is a sharp, very fast 4K IPS gaming monitor whose dual mode works better than most, with bright, vibrant and accurate colour. The common criticisms are contrast and HDR well behind OLED; PC Gamer and TechRadar found connectivity limited, with no USB-C, and PC Gamer thought it expensive for an IPS screen.
