What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it delivers a stunning, high-contrast picture and very fast, fluid 500Hz gaming with plenty of ports. They differ on calibration: Tom's Hardware found it accurate out of the box apart from slight sRGB gamma errors, while KitGuru found the colour balance warm and the sRGB mode only fair, and thought the USB-C charging too weak for laptops.
