What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is a superb 4K OLED gaming monitor, praising its rich, accurate colour, deep contrast, sharp detail and very fast 240Hz response; Tom's Hardware found no flaws of consequence. PC Gamer and TechRadar found it expensive and its many HDR modes and picture settings confusing to live with.
