    This is the ultimate gaming monitor for those looking for the best in picture quality while being able to play games at high refresh rates and ultra smooth gameplay thanks to the G-Sync technology built inside this beast monitor. Fair warning though - if you want to be able to push this monitor to its limits, you will need a GTX1080Ti, RTX2080, or RTX2080Ti ;-) PROs: - G-Sync dynamic refresh rate technology - High refresh rate @ 165Hz - IPS panel with excellent sRGB color gamut - Excellent resolution (2560 x 1440) for 27-inch 16:9 - The option to use Ultra Low Motion Blur (ULMB)! - Gaming reticle available within the OSD that can be used for those with less than perfect aim :D - Multiple color and gaming configurations can be saved within the OSD; up to three unique configurations can be saved. - VESA compliant for those wanting to use an adjustable monitor desk mount stand CONs - Cost; G-Sync monitors always cost more than their AMD FreeSync counterparts, but the technology is far superior - Doesn't support High Dynamic Range (HDR) lighting - Requires the use of a Nvidia graphics card certified to officially support G-Sync technology - Light bleed and IPS glow is visible in the corners and borders in very dark scenes - Monitor stand is a bit ugly I have to admit...lol

    It still costs a lot, but its worth it. This monitor has everything gamers are looking for. 144 refresh rate, g sync, ips panel and 1440p. There aren't many monitors that can match those specs. i dont care for the stand color, but that is minor.

    I own two of these, one new and one refurbished. I can't tell the difference between the two. Pros: Vibrant Colors Thin Bezels Tilts and pans on stand nicely Cons: Bleeding on the edges during very dark scenes that is a problem with most IPS monitors, isn't noticeable during most gameplay.

    The monitor has been great, mostly using it for work and some gaming. It arrived in a nondescript box in the time bb said it would. It is so n great shape no sign of wear or damage. Probably more monitor than I need since I don’t do a lot of gaming that needs the high refresh rate. Happy it came with a display port cable. I had to use a different HDMI cable to connect to another laptop. Very pleased with purchase.

    I was incredibly lucky to find this monitor refurbished and for quite a bit cheaper than it normally would be. the IPS 2k screen is great, I tried and I just cant go back to tn panels. The colors look so dull by comparison. The G-sync is nice, but not necessary now, since Nvidia announced they're accepting the cheaper freesync for 10xx series cards up.
