I am not a gamer. Upgraded from a decent LG 24” IPS monitor 1920 x 1200 to this monitor as I wanted more real estate. It does not disappoint. Being an IPS panel, it has Good brightness and colour rendition is great. The 2K resolution is great for productivity work, photo editing and watching video. It does require some calibration for photo editing. No frill and fit for purpose. Recommended.
