Let me start with everything about this monitor isnt bad in comparison to what youre paying, however with the knowledge of cutting corners for a cheap but sufficing monitor will lead you to having many shortcomings, a jack of all trades is a master in none. I had zero problems with the product out of the box, setting it up was simple and easy and only took about 5 minutes to do. After setting it up, I ran a bunch of tests to see the quality of the panel, and I had no backlight bleeding, no dead pixels, and no problem setting up the display settings. The 165 hz is a nice addition to the product, however I definitely think it was more of a ploy to make the monitor seem more quality while cutting out other factors, like they were trying to hide something by shining an extra 21 hz. My main problem with the product only became noticeable after probably, 2 days. The display for this product is awful, to say the least. The sides of the monitor are paper thin, and most of the time dont fully connect, leaving you to be able to actually see into the monitor from certain angles. With this being said, its not surprising that the backlight began to bleed through the outer display. The problem only got worse as it grew larger, and the only way to momentarily fix it was to push the panel back in a bit. Now, Im sure shipping had some effect on this, however I cant whole wholeheartedly say I believe the entire monitors display issues arose from some shipping problems, as it was shipped in a very robust package, covered in foam. At first I wasnt very upset with the minor lighting bleed, and its not all that hard to cover it up with a small black piece of tape or something, but I very much doubt you want to have to scrap up a product you bought for $190 in the first month of its lifespan, I know thats the reason why I returned it. So all in all, I had very little problems with the actual specs of this monitor, the panel is nice and the screen size is a nice additive, being someone who comes from large bezel monitors, but I cant recommend this product due to its dice roll of a design. Im likely going to buy a more reputable monitor like ASUS and go back to a thicker bezel. Sorry for the essay but I hope it can help anyone whos on the fence about this product.
