Resolution a bit low for its size ; The price ; Impractically massive

Impressively immersive ; Great detail even with an okay resolution ; Great colour reproduction ; FreeSync support is a bonus ; Awesome response time

Not that ergonomical ; Needs a ton of space ; Resolution could be better

The most immersive display we’ve ever gamed and worked on at the same time
