It's gorgeous and fast. Im a gamer who really enjoys beautiful aesthetics so I was after the best of both worlds in terms of picture quality and response time at a reasonable price. I play a bit of everything and I use this for working from home too. I spent days reading every review I could find on ips vs tn vs va panels vs 75hz vs 144hz vs 2k vs 4k and the drawbacks of each. I decided to go with the ips panel for a better picture, especially this one because of the response time with the vrb boost tech and the refresh rate, and I honestly cannot see any backlight bleed that a lot of people talk about on ips panels. The picture is perfect. It has no dead pixels either. It's quite bright but you can just adjust that. Build quality is solid. It's got freesync but works with gsync. Settings are fine to navigate. It has speakers but no monitor speakers are great so I don't use those. It's very easy to pop together. The screen is easily height adjustable but solid. I chose the 24 inch because of pixel density on 1080p but it's so lovely I'm gearing up to get a 27 as well. If you're after a reasonably priced non-curved monitor that offers 144hz at 1 ms (some accredited reviewers say it has a 4ms gtg response time, some say 5) on an IPS panel with gsync/freesync there are only 3 options. This one is the best to me as I'm not keen on the screen coting on the asus and apparently this one has a slightly wider colour gamut than the acer which is a tiny bit more expensive and apparently you can't adjust the screen height on that one. One noteworthy piece of info i found when researching though is that the vrb boost tech used in the aoc, asus and acer which achieves the 1ms response time can cause headaches because of the use of backlight strobing. If the vrb is turned off though the monitor does not use the strobing. Personally, I have not had any issues with this and it is not something you would be aware of if you didn't know about it. I'm thoroughly pleased with the monitor for quality, the combination of features that suit my needs and value for money. CCL also has great service and prices.
