Had mine for 3 and a half months and don’t have anything bad to say about it.

All the games I’ve been playing at 1440p on ultra on every game and it looks silky smooth. Don’t have any noticeable glare that I can tell.

Color representation good? im looking at buying it for graphics work too, and i want an IPS panel for the colors, but something i can do both gaming and graphics work on too

I use it for a 2nd screen for web development and the colours look great to me, however I don’t do any graphics work, but the graphics the designer does for me look a lot crisper and better than the monitor it replaced.

I was on the wire choosing between this and the asus equivalent monitor and so far have no regrets

Whats your mains screen, this will be used as a main and benq 144hz as a secondary

I have 3 screens in total two Samsung hd screens on each side, normally have outlook/slack on first screen and vs 2017 or vs code on the predator and browsers on the other Samsung.

Working on some big projects at the moment so the extra screen space helpful to fit more code on screen.

I guess I should call the predator my main screen.

Got it! OCD it got it all running absolutely in love with it the quality is unreal and the colours in photoshop and illustrator are insane! So happy I took the plunge!

I’m tempted to buy a second later in the year to complete the look!

How did you fare in the panel lottery? I've got one of back-order for a good price, no rush for it to arrive on the off chance something really cool comes out at Computex next week.

You mean in terms of dead pixels/bleed etc? if so, the panel is like absolutely perfect!

Aye that's the one. Glad to hear it. Hopefully the same for me.

Make sure you have OD set to normal I was noticing some quite bad ghosting and it was because OD was set to extreme!
