Practical notes owners raise — setup, quirks, and issues to watch for. They don't say whether the person likes the product, so they're not counted in the score, but they inform the pros, cons, and who it's for.
“I have this monitor, for those wondering about G sync support. It works, but it will only work if you connect 1 or 2 monitors.”
“The viewing angles are still mediocre though for an IPS and my only real complaint”
“It is bright as fuck but just about gets dim enough on zero for day to day use.”
“Mine has minor IPS glow, which is understandable.”
