Great Gaming Monitor!

Using this display, our team found that the colors are vibrant and the fast refresh rate keeps gameplay smooth. The wide screen allows for an immersive experience. However, the 1080p resolution may not be suitable for those looking for higher picture quality.

Don't buy this based on my review.

Excellent 165Hz 1080p monitor

This is a really great monitor with great brightness and colour. 165Hz is also a nice bonus for the price. If you're looking for a cheap 1080p fast 165Hz IPS display, this is the one you should buy. I haven't had any problems with it so far.
