I have an earlier version of this but I believe this uses a panel that has a BGR pixel layout instead of the traditional RGB. Many people won't notice this, but some fonts can look slightly fuzzy ever after calibration. Fantastic second monitor though

It does not support adaptive sync, so there could be tearing

How would this be for PS5? Going to buy the Slim when it comes out here in a few weeks, and thinking about using a monitor vs plugging into our TV. Anything better in this $200 range?

My k/d is way better using the monitor. Probably because I'm closer to the screen

I got the 32" and love it. Only downside for me is that there's no FreeSync, but the 165hz and low ghosting is pretty great I recommend the brand to anyone. Build quality is decent too

Might be silly question I have 1080p monitor and I'm interested in this one as additional one. How would this setup work? One monitor would show 4k and another 1080p?

Yes, you can set the resolution (and refresh rate) for each monitor seperately. But this monitor is 2k not 4k. 2560 x 1440p = 2k. 3840x2160 = 4k
