There are pros and cons, think before buying.

I also have LG UltraWide 29, which is about 2 times cheaper than this and the only noticeable minus in normal use (browser, programming, movies) of LG is that it does not draw dark areas very well. Otherwise, there is no difference. Of course, in games or when working with graph editors, a strong difference should be felt. But in DotA, nothing has changed, the picture is still the same. What is written here 170Hz is cool of course, but I did not feel the difference. I thought my eyes would not strain, no, it still strains.

Pros

HDR work, draws out dark places well. Maybe it's not because of HDR, but compared to my old monitor, you can see the difference in the dark areas of the picture.

Cons

Very slow connection with a laptop. I still can’t understand what exactly the problem is, but the essence is this: The screen does not automatically recognize the signal from the Macbook Pro laptop via HDMI. In order to display the picture on the screen, you need to reconnect several times and change the setting on the laptop itself, and then transfer to the standard mode. This is very inconvenient and takes a lot of time to set up. The screen simply writes that there is no signal, although the laptop shows that an additional screen is connected. The quality of the image (text) is not very good. Although it's only 2k. If you work on a retina, then it's even a little infuriating to see these pixels.
