Exactly what I was looking for! I did not want a huge monitor, as the smaller the monitor the more pixels per inch. Also wanted very high frames per second without sacrificing performance, so the 1080 full hd works out great, and I can not stress enough about this monitors Massive 250hz.The perfect balance of price and performance! The color and clarity of this monitor are definitely lacking out of the box. After a bit of playing with the settings this truly is a great monitor with vivid color, the perfect size and curvature for gaming, super high speed response, and that curve ratio - all exactly what I was looking for. The larger the monitor, the further apart the pixels. Also the higher the resolution, the lower response time, refresh rate, or hertz.Coming from years of previously hooking up my pc to a large 4K television at 60hz (yes it still looks amazing but is slower), and not having bought a brand new monitor or put one together for a while... it is not difficult at all to do, but was still a pain. I blame my own excitement and patience though. Just as building a pc, yes it is meticulous but totally worth it. It also has the expected mounting features as well.Sound quality? Seriously? I can not find any rational reason why anyone would want to use a displays on board sound as their go to option. Personally I haven't tried it pr checked if there even is the option. But you do you!At such a low price point packed with so many sought after features, I can easily see myself or others buying more than one and mounting them side by side, above and below for a full gaming immersion.Others had mentioned black spots or heavy dark pixels, even posting videos and pictures demonstrating the annoyances of this display. I can say that while yes it is there, it is however not as noticeable or frequent as one might have you think. I read about it and saw the posts before buying this monitor. It did not stop me. Adjusting your display settings is a thing. Maybe try playing with settings, antialiasing specifically or super resolution a bit and this will likely make this not so bad. I have not been bothered by this, but with a little tweaking of settings should eliminate or have this issue some have said slightly alleviated. This also depends on your graphics card, game, or video that you are watching source. However in dark scenarios for whatever reason, yes this is true out of the box and not playing with settings for this panel, however there are solutions. So it is still worth every penny.Again I will point out, that to me these caveats are not such a huge deal as I did not expect the best in resolution, in display technology, or all of the highest bells and whistles when it comes to display quality and display specifications. I went for price, speed, curvature as its primary functions. This monitor clearly has a lot going on at 250hz and its curve ratio all with such a low price. It has exceeded all of my expectations for what was paid. There are no regrets in this purchase and I'm likely going to buy another, if not several.Out of the box there is no HDR and it wasn't running at 250hz. So obviously you'll need to open up your computers settings to get the 250hz and HDR features going. Also needed adjust the clear type for font and text on screen. As well as many other in display settings to fit my liking.Some had reviewed monitors in the 27 inch range with 1080p to be not a good option at all, talking about the pixels and how visible they become the larger up in screen size that you go. I can tell you that personally I don't visually see each and every individual pixel on this 27 inch display, and to me it is nonsense.What is not nonsense though, was the comments made about going from a 250hz display back down to something like 144hz or 60hz. Yeah that isn't possible for me now either and holds firmly true. After going up to a 250hz display monitor, I can attest that it would be extremely difficult to ever be able to go back down again. I hope that I'll never have to. Everything else seems super slow and laggy after getting this display and looking at another. Hope this review has shed a bit of light and has helped.
