    Very good full screen brightness in both HDR and SDR I primarily play multiplayer FPS games but I also wanted a good display for consuming HDR content I'm very satisfied with my purchase I did face an issue where I couldn't use 10 but color with 180hz but I set a custom refresh rate(179Hz using Nvidia control panel) and was able to utilise the monitor to its maximum potential

    The colors are amazing but it honestly doesnt seem to be very console friendly. It is a lot easier to dial the screen in on a PC then a PS5, I could never get the image quality exactly just right.

    Beautiful screen with a pleasant matte texture that gives perfect color and quality. Bright but doesn't cause eyestrain at all even with long usage in the dark.

    Looks great, but doesn't have great viewing angles which distorts colors at the edges when I'm close to the screen. I also have issues getting the right settings. But those things aren't a huge issue at this value.

    Good picture and HDR with a lot of caveats

    Ok for starters this monitor won't do 10-bit color at 180hz, which is only available at 120hz. Then there's the VRR flicker above 120hz. Color and HDR look amazing after much fiddling in Windows 11, the OSD and Nvidia control panel. The stand is tilt only which exacerbates the problem with poor viewing angles. So be prepared to spend more $$$ on a VESA mount; negating the budget price of this monitor compared to the more expensive (but better) competition. Other than that it's a good budget Mini-LED gaming monitor, I'm just disappointed it will only do 180hz with some caveats and the VRR flicker. So if "only" 120hz is fine and you want a gaming monitor with great HDR at an affordable price then this is your monitor.

    This monitor exceeded my expectations. The HDR picture is excellent, making every scene look incredibly vivid. What impressed me most is the deep black levels—it really adds depth to games and movies. Great quality for the price.

    Great monitor, good clarity and gets plenty bright. 180hz is a sweetspot for fps. Only downside is monitor stand doesnt slide up and down. But dimming zones are fantastic. For 250 its a steal compared to other montiors. Doesnt break the bank compared to OLED monitors

    Beautiful image if you don't mind the VA shift

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Pros: + Great contrast + Great Blacks + Lots of picture options + Nice HDR image Cons: - Almost too many options and image combos - VA brightness shift - If there's any light in the room, where your head is will be a dark spot compared to the rest of the image - No height adjustment Summary: While this AOC had local contrast and slightly deeper blacks than my current ips monitor, the VA black-level shift pretty much cancels out the image gain unless you're in a completely dark room. So, not helping my photo editing, I decided to return it.

    Very impressed with this monitor. Huge visual upgrade over my old 1440 IPS monitor. Viewing angles are great, despite what i've heard of older VA panels. The stand is a big con. No height adjustment, and very wobbly. Would recommend this monitor with a VESA mount

    It's a great monitor with high quality and popping colors. If you're looking for something as close to OLED without risk of burn-in this is the perfect choice. It's a great price and great quality.
