Does the job - my new review

I bought this monitor because my other one was starting to fail. Let me start with the status; It's not adjustable so you're stuck at a pretty ergonomically uncomfortable height, but I was able to solve this by reusing my old monitor's stand as it was mounted with a VESA mount. Image quality is pretty good, especially after I calibrated it with a calibration tool. My main gripe is this: to take advantage of the 1ms response time, you have to turn on VRB, which reduces the brightness significantly even in normal mode. As others have said, you can't have Freesync and Extreme Overdrive at the same time, you're either just stuck on Extreme or Normal + Freesync. Overall, it's not a bad display, but I can definitely tell a difference in terms of responsiveness when gaming, especially compared to my other monitor, which was a TN panel.

Pros
  • wide spectrum
Cons
  • Useless functions
