Not bad. Better for contrast and color, slightly worse for response time and input lag. Slightly worse viewing angles. But with a monitor, you're going to be looking straight (most likely). It's a good panel at a very reasonable price. Not a top tier gaming monitor, but a good mid. Perfect for the budget-minded modern gamer.

I bought the S2722DGM about a month ago, and had to return it. The ghosting and black smearing was terrible. If you look at light text on a dark background, and scroll up or down, the text becomes literally unreadable. And while playing a game, anything light against a dark background will have major smearing with any movement. I have always used VA panels, and although there is always some of this. With this monitor it was on another level of bad.

LG 32" 4K was a much better deal IMO

Wow I bought this a year ago for 450$ because it was the only monitor that satisfied my needs(165hz, HDR6(almost) 1440p, 1500R curved and under 500$). Happy to see this one on half off.

Be aware, these have notorious backlight bleed. Had to exchange one. The other one was better but still not great. Stand is good but takes a lot of space from the wall and the desk, so if you're space restrained I'd recommend getting vesa mount or getting a bigger table. Speakers on this one are awesome, very loud and clear unlike other monitors that have 2$ speakers. Definitely a steal at 250$

I love my lg 32 4K it was like 250 bucks, only 60hz though. Not like my gtx 1080 can do more anyway!

For those that need the frame rate primarily for fps and time sensitive competitive play. 60hz ain't going to cut it.

If you are playing something like riven or flight simulator or a grand visual game that isnt so response time dependent maybe 60 hz is fine if you have a great 4k monitor.

Trying to figure out what the Micro USB port is used for, or why its even there, and all I can find is in the user guide, all it says is "• One (1) Micro USB port: For Elite Ally use only"... what?
