Just a few questions.

Update 11/18/21 Exactly a month in use and now I have a broken pixel in the top left corner of the screen. Even more disappointing. First review: Lenovo monitor is my first monitor. But the resolution, price, size, features and refresh rate were exactly what I was looking for. Immediately after turning it on, I noticed the screen being damaged due to the styrofoam packaging in the box. After the third day I realized that the damage was irreversible and not just an imprint. It's only really noticeable against a plain white background and looks like a quarter-sized halo that's slightly off-center from the right-center of the screen. To be honest it is very frustrating to see such damage on such an expensive monitor due to the cheap packaging. But it's so light and faded that I hardly notice it until I look, so I decided to ignore it and live with it. I want the monitor so much right now that I'm not interested in dealing with an RMA or return process. After all, this is my first 144Hz monitor and I...don't really see the crazy appeal of it. update frequency. Yes, I have it correctly set to 144 in the NVidia control panel settings, and yes, games use it with my 3070. After playing at 60Hz for 20 years, I just don't feel that 144Hz is worth all the hype is what it gets. Rather a snazzy selling point to keep selling hardware while hiding an inability to invent higher resolutions. Sorry, that's just my opinion. Overall this is a good monitor, I'm replacing my 28 inch Samsung 4K POS monitor with this. (Never buy Samsung monitors again). I think my next monitor will be LG again, I was so impressed by my first super wide LG and have always regretted getting rid of it in favor of a crappy Samsung. At the moment that's all I have. Maybe I'll update it in a few months after I install more. The overall score for this Lenovo monitor at this price is 7.1/10. It retails for $325-$350.
