not a typical review.. bought this monitor expecting it to be brand new unused. to find out that it had been sold and returned with issues once set up screen signal issues and turning itself off so being sent back again unacceptable behaviour for the price of this.

I looked at getting this screen for a long time but got put off by the price, it ticks all my boxes (1ms, 165hz, curved screen), I took the plunge shelled out my hard earned cash and I must admit it is everything I have ever wanted in a screen.

An ideal monitor ever built on the plant. You dont understand why it worths 2k bucks until you try this: games have never been so beautiful and gourgeous.

5/5 if I'm not being nitpicky. It's an amazing monitor, obviously. Maybe not the best value. But really the only thing with true HDR (because of it's peak brightness) and both 4k and 144hz. So when it works it's amazing. When Windows is being a pain...well... Windows is a pain.

Stunning image quality; Great gaming performance; 4K gaming at 144Hz is special; HDR looks fantastic; Fully adjustable stand

Very; very expensive; Windows resolution scaling can be iffy; Hugely powerful PC needed for 4K gaming; Not enough HDR content
