What reviewers say

Reviewers liked the useful 16:10 workspace, flexible stand, consistent colours and low input lag. Both found the heavy anti-glare coating visibly grainy, particularly on pale backgrounds. Motion was responsive for ordinary use, though fast movement could show dark overshoot trails. TFTCentral found weaker luminance uniformity; neither review considered it a substitute for a high-refresh gaming display.
