Ps5 Gaming
Great balance of performance and graphics. Most games aren't 4k so streamlining 2k settings from your ps5 through a 240hz 48 hdmi to this monitor with hdr off is chrisp. The colors are vibrant and the va panels are easy on the eyes. Haven't seen and ghosting or stuttering at all and build feels solid. I'm picking up another one during black Friday for editing at full price cause it's that good. I know there are better monitors out there but this is the perfect balance for me at 2k 120hz gaming and editing.

Would buy again and again and again.....
Perfect budget machine. I am currently setup with my home office laptops, Xbox series X, Switch, and retro consoles. It handles everything like a dream, auto switches to HDR and even has gaming centered bonus options in the settings. Quick notes for the gamers: 1080 / 1440P 120 htz capable, HDR-10 capable, has speakers ++, 2 HDMI ports with auto-detect, Variable refresh rate capable. Looks good, sounds ok, good deal for the wallet.

Tackles Design Work/Gaming
I work in Virtual Design and I think this monitor is perfect for that kind of work. The size is just right and the picture is great for the price. Easy setup and nice features like the blue light adjust setting and for gaming I think this is good enough for me. Best monitor if you’re on a budget.
