The only drawbacks with this are no local dimming, HDR10, and somewhat low peak HDR brightness but I'm very content with how bright it is already. There may be ghosting at 165hz but it has zero flickering thanks to Free Sync. No USB ports and no built in speakers. And FYI the G55 is the version with a curve screen, the G50 is the flat screen. Sometimes it blacks out if you put your PC on sleep mode and the power button seems to not work on this monitor, just unplug it and plug it back in.
Tldr: yes its worth a buy if you're upgrading from a 1080p 60hz and it comes with good perks for 1440p, but no local dimming, USB ports, or built in speakers. For the price it's definitely worth it unless you are aiming for 4K gaming.
