Great price, bright with good features monitor.
Great gaming monitor for the money. Lots of features and Settings. Can be a very bright monitor along with great HDR. very useful controls on the back of the monitor for easy settings. Use it for gaming and video editing. The curving is not extreme and really helps when gaming. Nice screen to look at in all applications.

Great performance& image, very bad backlight bleed
As a PS5 gamer, this monitor is great and unlocks the PS5's full capabilities of 2160p at 120hz and VRR. The image quality and performance are both very vivid, powerful, and amazing, especially in colorful games that really make the visuals pop like Cyberpunk and God of War. However, when it comes to dark games like Silent Hill or just any dark scene in general, the backlight bleed is extremely severe and noticeable, even when you turn down the nit level on the monitor. I try not to let it bother me as most action during games happens in the middle of the screen anyways, but the bleed is heavily severe it's hard not to notice, especially in a pitch black room. So if backlight bleed is something that really gets under your skin, this monitor or any curved monitor for that matter definitely isn't for you. I would give it 3/5 stars for how bad the backlight bleed is, but I just bought it and don't want to completely disregard how good the image quality and performance is, so if by the end of this week the backlight bleed still bothers me, I'll unfortunately have to return it. Great monitor if lots of backlight bleed is something you're used to. See below, backlight bleed both lights on and lights off. Granted it looks worse in these pictures than in person but it's still pretty bad in person.

Great monitor - no problems
I've had this monitor for almost a year now and it has looked and felt amazing the entire time. I've done several "monitor problem" tests, and this has passed them all. It displays a vibrant range of colors and looks good. It has lots of input ports which make it compatible with (almost) any device. It took me a bit of research to figure out how to adjust the brightness straight from my pc but I finally found Monotorian which I use now. The stand is weighted perfectly allowing you to move adjust the monitor easily. I have no blurring when playing games. Images are sharp and not blurry. Apologies for the blurry image, my camera is not good.
