I bought three of these a few months ago, same price. They are all working great in my triple monitor setup. Great color right out of the box for me. Runs 144hz no problem. Almost no bezel on top and sides. However there is a small bezel on the bottom which can slightly interfere with butting them together. Otherwise extremely happy with these for the money.

How long does Costco do a price adjustment? It says 30 days on their website but their return policy is 90 days so you could theoretically just return and rebuy.
30 day price adjustment period, but if the 30 days pass, just buy again and return with the old receipt.
I tried this for a few days to game on PS4/PC and I felt the color and clarity are better on my Samsung 24 inch curved monitor, the LC24F396, but it's only 72hz and 4ms.
I bought this during black Friday at Costco and an ASUS ROG VG249Q, same specs 24" VS 27", I kept this one. Colors are bright and beautiful, zero dead pixels, laptop can only do 120hz and that runs perfectly. Would definitely recommend this!

Monitors do not fall under the 90day TV Return policy. Monitors are not part of that category. I verified with a manager about 2 months ago since i have a 27" LG gaming one that they haven't had back in stock (they bumped it to a 32") so i wanted to return so i can get matching 27s. i just didnt like how the MSIs looked in person.

Your laptop probably can run 144hz, just wrong cable. Try using DP
I've had this monitor for ~1 year. Personally have not seen the dead pixel issue affect me, but have a friend who saw 4 dead pixels after 6 months of purchase.
Personally would save and look for a 1440p monitor in retrospect, but if ur on the hunt for a 1080p monitor and are willing to gamble on a few dead pixels it's worth the money.
Bought this for Christmas for my son the blacks on this monitor make the monitor next to it look like crap. I love this display would buy another but want a Dell 2k display
I also got one from black Friday.
it's been great for the most part but about 1.5 weeks ago now I had a vertical line of what I thought were dead appear and then disappear after I launched a game…. anyway it seems to have corrected itself for the time being.
Debating returning it right now but I didn't get a chance to thoroughly check if it was the monitor, cord, or computer causing the issue.

The Optix is still a good deal though.
Every brand has dead pixels. It's a hit and miss. Same with back light bleeding.

You need something hdmi 2.0 or higher.
Since this is HDMI 1.4b, you should be able to get up to 144Hz.
This DisplayPort 1.2a will do 144Hz and is your better odds connectivity option for performance.
See the spec sheet pdf on Costco's site for this item, which states what I have above.

Think we have to wait, none of these have 2.1 hdmi
Which laptops have a display port?
mDP is what he means.
