A 1440p 165Hz IPS monitor that has been the default recommendation for years and keeps getting cheaper. Boring in the best possible way.
This entry is written from the 3 sources listed at the bottom of the page. The numbers are our editorial estimates drawn from that material, not measurements, and no statistical sample sits behind them.
On the evidence gathered here, yes. 85% of owners say they would buy it again, and satisfaction is still 8.3 out of 10 two years in. Still recommended years after release.
Steady. It is the monitor people stop thinking about, which is the highest praise a display can earn.
Backlight bleed on some units becomes noticeable. HDR was never worth enabling. Newer OLED panels make it feel dated in dark rooms.
Still recommended years after release. Sentiment across the ownership period stays close to flat, which is rare: it reads 8.4 out of 10 in the first week and 8.3 two years later.
Worth it for: 1440p gaming on mid-range GPUs; People wanting one monitor for work and games; Anyone buying on discount. Think twice if: You want real HDR performance; You watch films in a dark room; You have already moved to OLED.
