Product Description:	Pros: Hi, I've been using this monitor for several days. I can say that it is easy on the eyes, the matte finish really prevents any type of screen glare from any light. I haven't noticed any dead pixels or black light bleed. Windows reports it as 8-bit + Dithering, HW info reports it as 10 bit. Out of the box, with digital vibrance turned up the monitor has some really nice and rich colours. HDR mode works, although you can achieve similar colors without HDR and just tuning the settings. The Freesync is working as intended I think, it is matching my refresh rate to my frames in game. Im using a GTX 1080 so It's probably the middle point for this type of monitor. Some games look really awesome, WoW looks great, Apex looks great, Destiny 2 in HDR looks great. There can be a small issue though, where the monitor won't go into standby mode but it seems to be resolved by switching the "Auto Input selection" to "OFF" in the monitors settings it has fixed the issue for myself and several other users (credit to zeich)** Gsync works pretty well, if your able to achieve over 70 fps you wont even notice when the difference moving between 70 hz to 144 hz when in Gsync mode, it's really that smoooth. Gsync seems to work well untill you get to the 40-60 fps range where you might experience some light stuttering in some games like WoW. I haven't done any color calibration, im using the colours out of the box with my digital vibrance in NVCP to 90% and Windows HDR on full at all time, honestly it looks pretty amazing. White actually looks white. Black looks black for the most part Also I do not notice any ghosting in-game with the Speed overdrive mode. The software to control the settings is pretty easy to use, and works well. The live update and firmware update worked with no errors. Some people complain about the button on the back of the monitor but in my feeling of it the button is actually simple and easy to use. My overall conclusion, for the price point I think it's a steal, although I am not a pro with monitors but I di

No...just...no. The key factor to NON blurry fast action games is the response time. IPS panels are commonly found in 4ms - 8ms range. Yes. Blurry. VA panels ate easy to find with 1 ms response times. Newer ones go as fast as 0.5.

What can make a VA monitor blurry if it has a fast response time? Turning on all graphic settings. Some games actually introduce motion blur into the game as a feature.

At 8 ms I actually can see the ghosting of the mouse as I move it on screen.

VA screens provide better blacks than IPS. Viewing angles are not as wide as IPS and the color gamut is not as good.

IPS monitors will display colors more faithfully.

To pick what is right for you, you need to look at all the specs and make a decision based on the type of gaming or computer use.

VA panel - avoid if you like to play fast paced games due to blurry motion.

I played 140+ hours of Elden Ring, which is certainly fast paced during combat, on this monitor and it was fine. Maybe if you're into competitive shooters you'll want an e-sports monitor or something, but for most gaming uses, this monitor is fine.

Coming from an IPS 144hz asus the colors from this monitor isn't so great. I hated it at first because I couldn't stand the washed out colors but after awhile I got used to it. I can say as far as ghosting/blur haven't noticed honestly I've put a lot of hours into this monitor with warzone and COD no performance differences just colors accuracy being a huge factor. If u can get around that then this is the monitor for you unless u have 600-800 dollars for an IPS this size with same specs

You got that backwards brah… IPS is what you were thinking. The point of VA is response time 😉
