What a screen. If you are having doubts about this monitor, don’t; go out and buy it. I was used to playing in a 65” 4K TV, and I thought going to this was going to be hard. One day after, what frames I was missing out on. Tried playing in a 60hz display and could not believe how I put up with such a low performance display before. Go, get it, thank me later.

Yes i know 240hz doesn’t work on xbox and 120 is supported but is pointless on 60fps. I got this monitor for a pc i will be buying soon and this thing is much bigger than I thought, drastically cleaner than my benq-gw228. Pros many customization options,good size, crystal clear screen. Cons, stand too wide out struggling to fit on desk. And personally for the price it could have had HDR10 or something but the screen modes make up for that. Overall good buy for pc gamers.

Worth It in my Opinion

I have only been using this about a month now. I love it. I can adjust the stand up and down (I wish it could go up about another 1/2 inch as my eyes are at the top third of the screen if I look straight ahead). The screen can also be tilted in different directions. I am a casual gamer playing games like Minecraft, Fallout 76, A Plague Tale Innocence, Monster Sanctuary, etc. I have not experienced any difficulty with lagging, dark areas or pixelation. I also stream movies and the picture is great. The size of the screen is perfect for me. It was suggested I get a larger screen, but reviews on the larger screen said it had some issues. I did buy a display port cable and I could see a big difference between using HDMI and DisplayPort. I also bought separate speakers as the monitor does not have built in speakers. I have not tried to use FreeSync or G-Sync since I have not experienced lag or screen tearing with the games I play. I like the amount of connectivity ports: 2 HDMI, 1 DisplayPort, 5 USB and 1 headphone jack. There are a lot of preset settings you can choose or make your own custom settings that affect color, contrast, brightness, etc. You can fine tune this monitor exactly how you like it. I had purchased a less expensive monitor and returned it. Spending the extra money for this monitor was definitely worth it.

Outstanding monitor and I'm able to get 240hz right out of the box with the included HDMI cable so I'm happy about that. Was able to get this well below $300 during the President's Day sale.

Xbox series S and PC look amazing on this monitor.
1080p no HDR, look stunning through this very bright ultra fast IPS panel. No need for 1440p or HDR 4k on a 24.5”.
Fortnite runs beautifully @120fps on Xbox ss. RGB lighting and the white color of this monitor is Awesome!
TRIPLE AAA

I bought this for my son who is trying to increase his FPS, but his gpu needs to be upgraded as well, currently has AMD Radeon 570. Had trouble keeping two monitor because of the significant difference in the refresh rates which Windows 10 has trouble supporting or doesn’t support. The gaming monitor is pretty solid and more than we need, but I to tend to go big on purchases. LED’s are on the back are pretty very cool, you can make it cycle thru different colors but only the wall can see it, bummer.

Gorgeous monitor

This monitor is gorgeous! It’s super high quality. The base is super sturdy and heavy. I love the cable management it has so you don’t have to visibly see every cord coming out. I didn’t realize there were no speakers built in so that’s a little bit disappointing. I love that you can change the colors using their lighting program. Overall it seems like an amazing purchase but I haven’t had it long enough to see how well it holds up. It’s a lot bigger than I realized. From base to front it’s got to be at least 12” so it does take up half my desk. Something to consider.

Really good Monitor

I am really happy with this monitor. I have had it for a few weeks now. I will say also that I am really new when it comes to gaming monitors. I am used to playing video games on a TV. So when I first turned on the monitor I expecting better colors. More vibrant colors. I guess I was expecting something more like the colors you get from an OLED TV. It does still look good though.
I really don’t have any complaints with this monitor other than it not having speakers built-in.
