-Great colors and viewing angles for a TN panel; -Anti-Glare is not noticeable once you get used to the monitor in my opinion; -Super easy to use menus; -Comes up from sleep extremely quickly; -Image looks amazingly sharp, as well as the design

-Some back light bleed when the screen is 100% black, but otherwise not noticeable; It's to be expected with a monitor of this size; Not quite worth putting as a con; I only saw it because I was looking for it

The image quality and motion is excellent. No analog audio in, only through HDMI is annoying because to get the 144Hz or 165Hz refresh, you must use a DP cable. (included) but then you have no sound in the monitor and have to use an external speaker. The first one came broken, which is a shame.

G-Sync works as advertised

Only one display input port; Expensive

Why 120/144 Hz and G-Sync would be interesting at all is something we will have to elaborate beforehand, because it's only when one understands the problem that the possible solution can be accepted. The first FCAT measurements showed the problems.
