I rarely write reviews. That said, I feel like it would be a crime to NOT post a review, after having read the previous negative reviews on this item. I seriously spent hours --HOURS!!-- trying to find a 27" Monitor with 165Hz refresh, HDR ready, QHD/2k/1440 that my cheap butt could afford (I needed something that would give me an unfair FPS advantage on my PC so that I can kick my 8 year olds @$$ at SoT). I like spending quality time with him and all, but man that kid is vicious with a controller... That said, it paired perfectly with my Vega56 OCd (120+ FPS at 1440 @ 165Hz in SoT!!!). While the 1440 resolution @ 165Hz and HDR are INCREDIBLE, there IS a catch... You have to not be a complete dumb@$$ to use it. Let me clarify; if you hit the HDR button and think everything is over saturated and ugly and therefore HDR sucks, you are a qualified ID10T. If you plug in the cheap-@$$ [free] DP cable that came with it and then wonder why the HDR option in Windows isnt available, you are an ID10T. So you might make the argument that if a cable comes with the display, it should support all of its features, right? Well, youre buying a device that is significantly cheaper than every other device with the same specs so you sir, are an ID10t. This display is perfect. No bad pixels, all features work as advertised (see attached screenshots). It was my first time seeing HDR, so I found it breathtaking. I typically prefer IPS panels vs TN due to the darker blacks, but honestly when compared side by side with my IPS based displays, it isnt even that noticeable. The response time is SO much faster. Holy heck, it seriously blew me away! I am VERY pleased with this purchase. If you are considering this purchase for gaming or functions (like HDR or >60Hz refresh), I strongly recommend buying a high quality HDMI cable on here. Like this one: https://www.amazon.com/4K-HDR-HDMI-Cable-Feet/dp/B01KJ0M26A --see how it actually mentions that it supports UHD and HDR? Congratulations, if you noticed that, youre not an ID10T and are qualified to purchase this holy grail of lcd awesomeness...
