After using this monitor for a couple months now, the experience has been alright. Pros: Menu control is easy to use and input ports are located on the back of the monitor instead of underneath it. Screen is vibrant after playing around with the settings on both my pc & monitor settings. Supports 144hz and looks clean. Cons: The housing around the screen feels cheap. I noticed a few dead pixels in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Im still debating on whether to rma it but it isnt bothering me too much. I purchased this for 389 and sometimes I feel as if I shouldve paid a couple hundred bucks more for a premium monitor. There is no Gsync for this monitor which would help for some of the games I play (mostly fps). The tearing may be due to a bottleneck on my cpu for some of these games but after Ive built my new rig, Ill be able to hopefully alleviate or reduce this issue. Going from TN to MVA is very noticeable when gaming. I sometimes wonder if this monitor actually is 144hz during fast paced gaming situations. Conclusion: This is my first 1440p curved monitor and for the most part, Im okay with the monitor. I bought this monitor to test how I would like increased real estate & the curved monitor. This monitor is nothing spectacular but it is definitely a big step up from 1080p. I may take the leap on IPS panels soon. Updte: With Nvidia announcing support for Freesync, this monitor would not be a good choice for fast paced shooters. I noticed it flickers when Freesync is enabled & paired with my 1080ti. Also the response time increases.
