Looks good to me, I currently have the 165hz version. Excited to try out 300hz on valorant!

Got this a few days ago. Upgraded from a 10+ year old Asus 24" 144hz monitor. Build material quality is solid, but there is quite a bit of screen wobble while typing. I don't particularly notice it during gaming sessions so it isn't a huge deal, but if you're sensitive to that kind of thing it's worth noting.
Colors are a bit off out of the box for me (at least in CS2), the OSD setting options are decent but I haven't had a chance to calibrate the colors yet. Other than that, the 300hz feels buttery smooth in games.
Last thing to note is that it does require a power brick rather than the standard power cable my old monitor used.

How long is the DC jack to the power brick? I'm thinking of getting a dual monitor arm setup and wondering if internal power is the way to go.

What do you mean by "screen wobble"? Like, the stand wobbles? I just bought a couple of these to use for work (software engineering), so I'm obviously gonna be typing a lot.

sounds like his desk is probably wobbly and in return the screen shakes

Just speculating, but the stand doesn't seem to be the stablest. I would recommend a VESA mount

it wobbles at the joint where the screen connects to the stand. The base itself is made of metal and has some weight to it, but the arm/joint of the stand is plastic and feels a little flimsy at the connection point, thus the wobbles.
