Excellent colour quality ; Fantastic contrast ; Huge, curved, wide panel ; Decent physical design ; Good OSD

Good basic image quality, solid design and decent features, but a high price and some inconsistent performance are issues

Huge panel size ; High refresh rate ; Great gaming features

Not exactly cheap ; Poor image quality for productivity ; No USB-C

Superb colour and contrast levels Huge, curved widescreen Decent physical design Smart, fast OSD Surprisingly good speakers
