Excellent for PC/PS5/Xbox Series X Gaming.
||Posted .Excellent monitor. Can't ask for anything better at this price. It's literally plug-in and play. For PC you have to: Right Click --> Display --> Scroll down until you see Advanced display settings --> Click on Display adapter properties for Display such and such --> Click on List on all Modes at the bottom --> Look for 1920 by 1080 165hz --> Click on it and select Okay --> Then Click Apply and Okay (The Should should flash black for a split second or 1 second or so) --> Close the window. That's it you are done. You now have 1080p 165hz on your PC.

Motion Blur/ghosting/Shadowing issues
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Pros: -It’s big -Easy set up -Nice I/O: HDMI’s and DP -decent glare resistant display Cons: -Lots of motion blur issues, especially on the Y-Axis (looking up and down/scrolling text) -Visual presets for FPS/Racing don’t improve said games that match the genre and a lot of the time make the game look worse. - Overwatch plays like normal, but CoD and Battlefield have washed out colors and gamma issues on the FPS preset. -shadowing/ghosting issues; moving objects have a black/grey shadow blur chasing it (very apparent on DarkSouls/Elden Ring) -depending on the game, some light reflections look like a thermal camera (see attached pic) Overall: would not use this as a primary display. More suited to a dual screen secondary setup for YT vids/webpage browsing etc

Just buy it
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Killer monitor. I use it daily for gaming the image is crisp and bright. The biggest selling point for me was the stand. The vertical adjustment is awesome and works great. A definite buy if you're looking for a 1080p display.

Q: Questiondoes this monitor have a headphone connection?
Asked by audioquestion.
- A:Answer It has an audio out that can be used for speakers or headphones, but the port is on the back.
Answered by BertLancaster
Q: QuestionWould this monitor be good with either the Xbox series or ps5? Does it have a hdmi 2.1?
Asked by Anthony.
- A:Answer This monitor has an HDMI 2.0. I would honestly recommend this monitor out of any though because HDMI 2.1 won't be coming out until at least Q2 of 2021 and even then it would be at least double the price of a ps5. With this monitor since its HDMI 2.0, you can play at 1080p 120 fps but with HDMI 2.1 it has the bandwidth to do 4k at 120fps. So you can choose whether or not you want to get this monitor but I highly recommend if you want to play 1080p 120 fps
