Just great - my new review

love everything about it The picture looks great and the coloring is remarkable. Great stand. It's just a shame it didn't have built-in speakers, but that wasn't a deal breaker worth every penny.

Nice curved VA panel for gaming but no HDR certification.

PROS: Things I like. + This is a beautiful monitor. The 1000R curved screen reduces eye strain after a long day at work. I stare at a screen 8 hours a day at work so I need a curved monitor that doesn't add to my fatigue so this monitor helps when I want to relax while gaming. + It has a wide color gamut and high pixel density that produce good contrast and nice graphics that you usually see on an IPS panel and not a VA panel like this one. It has the best color display compared to other…

Wrongly advertised best in my review

Do not get me wrong; I love these monitors. They are very good, they run at 2k@165hz, they have great quality and they look great! However, the model I received was advertised as an HDR model, so I spent more on this list than other MSI models with the exact same specs.

Great but wrong information

This monitor is great for what it is but the seller's description of the monitor is false advertising, they claim the monitor is HDR compatible. However, the monitor does not really support HDR. The rest of the monitor works perfectly.

Good monitor but does not support HDR.

I like the monitor, but it would be better if it supported HDR as stated in the addendum. I should return it because it misled me, but it's still very good and HDR isn't a deal breaker. However, stating that he endorses it in the title affected my purchase and that is incorrect.

Doesn't work for Xbox

The refresh rate only increases to 60Hz unless you run it at 1080p. Why pay more for 1440p when you can't use it and only get 120hz even at 1080p

Does not support HDR. - my new rating

It's really a great monitor but I can't give it 5 stars because the HDR part isn't accurate. This monitor does NOT have HDR. If that's not really important to you, then that's no problem.

Misdirection is good for me

This doesn't work in 1440p 120Hz on my Xbox. I contacted support just to be told I need a display port. totally misleading.
