Overall I regret this purchase. I’d see. Reviews mentioning how dim it can be, even on max brightness, were spot on. It’s dreary and just never bright enough unless it’s in HDR mode, which isn’t always available. In games and other apps that support it, it looks fine. Not the best in terms of brightness or even backlighting, but. It bad. But try also using it for work in office productivity applications and you’ll regret it. The brightness settings are simply insufficient. Access to menus and settings is unintuitive and clunky. Add to this that part of the LED color backlighting was already flickering at random not even 6 months after purchase, and I wish I’d gone with something else.

It was super hot like sitting in front of a heater, don't know if it was defective or not, I know it used a lot of watts compared to this ACER. Took it back and got an ACER that was cool as could be. Both have beautiful colors.

This is a great monitor. As for the lower ratings, I guess they didn't know you have to go in and turn off the energy saving features to see what this monitor can do. The colors on this monitor are phenominal when turned on. However, it does require a second cable to do firmware updates. It's included though.
