I compared this monitor side-by-side with a similarly priced OLED monitor (MSI MAG 272 X24) and ended up choosing this one. After configuring the settings, the difference in contrast was not enough to overcome the downsides of a lower end OLED. Pros: Incredibly bright, which means highlights are impactful even in SDR mode. This is the biggest benefit of this monitor and what made it look better than a dimmer OLED panel. Gaming is just more fun when bright lights look like an actual light source, and even when browsing the internet white background actually look bright white. Excellent color accuracy and text clarity, which are both inherent to IPS panels. When local dimming is set to its highest setting there is no blooming around highlights (but small highlights set against a black background do become dimmer, and the matte coating takes away some of the impact under these circumstances). However, at any other setting local dimming results in tons of blooming, though this is not something you notice during normal gaming outside of something like a loading screen where there is text or objects set directly against a black background. While OLED still held a big advantage in micro contrast and clarity, blacks on this monitor looked surprisingly close with local dimming at its highest setting and highlights popped much more due to the higher brightness. Cons: While HDR looks glorious, the HDR implementation is terrible, and since there’s no USB port, there’s no firmware updates that can fix it. You have to manually set HDR via the OSD every time you want to use it. “HDR Auto” is the same as “HDR On” - it doesn’t detect an HDR signal and switch. Also, HDR does not allow brightness to change, it’s just always at max brightness, which can be annoying in a darker setting. Given the brightness, text clarity, matte coating, and no risk of burn-in, this is an excellent all-around monitor for a brightly lit setting or for someone who also needs to use it for work or other static content.

This does an excellent job sitting right in the middle of monitor options. It's got a lot of great and modern features while not costing $500 or more. One thing to know though is that VRR is enabled by default and VRR disables several monitor settings in the OSD such as overdrive. So if you want to be able to play with more settings to tune them to what you want just know you may have to disable VRR to do so. 320hz IPS at the on sale price point is hard to beat. The monitor is quality. I have no issues with bleed or uniformity. Only thing I would change is have them swap the HDMI cable for Displayport, as I had to purchase my own Displayport cable so that I could get the full 320hz performance. It's weird for them to include such a limited connectivity option.

I bought this for 270. Mini led and 320 htz is crazy value for that price. HDR and local dimming really makes this compete against oled. Especially for the price.only thing that sucks is it came with hdmi instead of display cable. So you will definitely need to get your hands on a display port cable

Can't complain at all. obv there are "higher" tier monitors out there but FOR THE PRICE and what it does do, it absolutely does deliver without breaking your wallet and still giving you a decent gaming experience. it's def not a "cheap" monitor or just idk a "bad" monitor. 100% great for it's price but obv if you can AFFORD something better, I wouldn't try to say this is the best monitor out there is all i'm saying lol. 100% great for it's price, as well as it's size. I mean I wasn't personally looking for something "AAA" either, so at least for me, it works. you can also multi monitor these in the future (I may buy two more to have 3 total) if you choose to do so, so, that's also a great option. 5/5 and i'd say if you're on a budget (with plans to upgrade in the future etc.) def pick this one up!

My son likes it and I don't notice any visual issues. So far so good.

Immaculate display of resolution only wish the brightness was a bit better.
