    The best monitor I've ever used.

    Okay I looked for either 1440p at 165 or 240hz and tried all brands from Asus, LG, Gigabyte, Acer and Man, they all had the worst ips glow and blowouts. I originally ordered msi 1440p @ 240hz 27″ and Revane sent me this instead. Yes, I was pissed anyway, I tried it and wow, this monitor is awesome. Silky smooth with no tears, the Gigabyte had the most tears of all. The light hardly bleeds and the ips shines. The 16 dimming zones work very well. And it's HDR 600. Ps5 looks super bright! Really…

    Monitor vs TV is fine for me

    Most of my life I use a TV instead of a computer monitor. I prefer the big screen when using complex programs like Zbrush and Unreal Engine. In my opinion, nothing compares to larger size and resolution, but after reading about all the new technologies I decided to give it a try. Initially I was very disappointed, these monitors cost more than twice as much as a smaller TV. I'm still not happy with it, so I can't give it a full 5 stars. However, the difference in colors surprised me. A game…

    Solid choice, the best in my rating

    Pretty good and works well with Mac OS, I use Type-C port on Mac m1. I have a problem, I couldn't get 1440p at 120Hz with my Xbox X series. This enables 1080p at 120Hz.

    Great monitor for work/play.

    Just got this monitor and am really impressed with KVM. The ability to switch between a work laptop and a gaming PC will change my game. In addition, the monitor is heavy. But it seems like a well-built trail. The picture is crisp and the stand feels solid and has cable management. All in all very recommendable

    Great monitor for gaming and KVM!

    Pros: - KVM is great! (Pros and Cons) - Looks amazing with lots of options (10-bit color, HDR600, QD display, 175Hz!) - Support was quick. I pocketed the ticket and in just over an hour they responded. (I was looking for firmware) - Came with all the cables I needed, a bit short but still plugged in nicely. Disadvantages: - Instructions are empty No detailed explanation of the settings. No firmware information (Gaming OSD app required). for setting up KVM alone, hope my review below helps, so…

    Super cool when running at 165hz

    It's a great monitor for picture quality, colors and more for gaming, but it needs a cumbersome setup to make it look good. I can't go above 144Hz in games either, although I've tried absolutely everything to get the promised 165Hz. Please fix MSI

    Great quality good for me

    This is a good display for the price. HDR works well, good refresh rate. It can be a bit finicky, but not in a way that disrupts the game. Its main weakness is signal logging before Windows loads. Some inconveniences when using the included USB hub. In fact, these are normal things that come with the platform in many ways.

    Disappointing in my opinion

    The monitor was so bright I couldn't stand it. There is no mention of a gamma adjustment. I was unable to get a black background in games. If you're playing in a dark room, look elsewhere. Spent two days with the settings. The IPS screen has the most terrible light from all sides. By reducing the blue light, it becomes even darker. The auto contrast was useless. Better colors expected from Quantum Dot. Two days later they returned. It's like a step back from the MAG series.
