Revainrating 4 out of 5

I think I bought it for gaming

Bought this monitor for gaming only. I decided it was time to update my Samsung 1080, which I love, but felt like I was missing out on the picture quality of next-gen consoles. I play on PS5 and Xbox Series X and I think this: - Setup is ridiculously easy (unless you want to wall mount it), otherwise you just snap the base onto the back and screw those 4 little screws onto the foot of the base. And it comes with a screwdriver. The picture quality is amazing, the colors are the most vibrant I've seen on a monitor, set the sharpness to 75% and you've got a fantastically detailed game (Guardians of the Galaxy looks so good!) - Works well with 60 fps when connected HDMI1. Now what I don't like: - 2 of the 3 HDMI ports are useless, the description says you get 4k at 60fps on HDMI1 and the same resolution at 30fps with HDMI2 and 3, that's a lie! Both PS5 and Xbox Series X didn't recognize ports 2 and 3 as 4K, only 1080 for PS5 and 1440 for Xbox Series X. So this is misleading and frankly false advertising. Now I had to buy an HDMI splitter to connect both consoles to a single 4k port. -The speakers are useless, I'm sitting at arm's length from the monitor with the volume set to 100 and it's horribly low and frankly horrible quality. However, this is not an obstacle for me as I always play with headphones. All in all I'm holding on. I love the picture quality, that was the main reason I bought it. There was a downside to having to buy an additional HDMI splitter, but this is a simple, inexpensive solution. I mainly play RPG, action and adventure games (Elden Ring, Nier, Horizon, Witcher) so 4k at 60 fps is fine for me. However, if you play competitive multiplayer online games like Call of Duty, Valorant, etc., this monitor might not be for you.
