For the price there are definitely better alternatives.

The first thing that struck me is that the sharpness on this monitor is pretty terrible and not adjustable. I have this next to my 27" Dell 1080p monitor and honestly I think the 1080p monitor looks better. I couldn't get anything above 122Hz on the display port either, no matter what I tried I had to switch to HDMI 2.0. I have this monitor running at 144hz at 1440p and am not impressed. The only reason I didn't return it is because I had it on sale.

Pros

Refresh Rate: Overclocked to 170Hz | Response time: up to 0.5ms (G to G) | Brightness: 400 nits | Pixel pitch: 0.233mm | High brightness and contrast with HDR 400 | Color Gamut: 95% sRGB

Cons
