Great Entry Level Gaming Monitor
The Monitor is great for entry level gaming and some office work. Screen and brightness looks absolutely great. For the price point it was the best deal.

Great but dead pixel 3 months in.
I love this monitor, looks great and super smooth. Only one issue. I’ve owned it for 3 months (3 month mark 1 day after this review) and I already have a dead pixel. It’s not major, it’s just one but none the less it’s an annoyance. I’ve had an acer monitor since 2020 that I use as a second monitor now and that one hasn’t had any dead pixels after almost daily use since l.
