Pros & Cons
Pros
The colors are very vibrant and the brightness control is great. I like how much color customization there is. This is very bright as in popping out with colors and sharpness/crisp.
The picture quality out or the box alone is amazing and it does take some fine tuning to get it where you like it. Hard to describe, it isn't blatant but it is there. Hdr suuucks but other than that the image is smooth and crisp.
Ui is great, comes with many options. Menu is easy to navigate and has different profiles to try out. The sidekick appliction is a nice touch too.
Cons
Even fast moving videos or movies cause odd smearing. if g sync is enabled and the fps drops below 60 (loading screens tend to do this) the brightness rapidly decreases and increases and causes a flickering effect. My problem with this monitor is the ... Read More
The monitor looks decent while also running at the rated 165hz refresh rate but with glaring downsides. This monitor has a lot of input lag even with radeon anti-lag. Maybe it's windows 10 (oh and scaling on windows with this monitor will not stick, i... Read More
They have difficulty switching between inputs. It often takes 15 minutes to do it, and it involves unplugging the displayport/hdmi cables and the power cord to the monitors before they are able to reset and display the signal. Both * and hdmi inputs h... Read More
Highlights
Quality
Great and easy setup thru the cable connected to the cpu and yes its g-sync compatible 100%!
It has great resolution, free-sync, high refresh rate(165hz), good connectivity, and great extras.
I bought this product about two years ago and for the last 3 months i have had this issue where the backlight starts going blac... Read More
If you leave 4k on, the monitor will accept the 4k resolution but downscale it to 1440p causing high input lag.
Price
This thing is awesome for the price!
Super nice for the price and awesome for gaming
Really a bargain for a curved 2k screen with such short lag and such a high refresh rate.
If you don't have the cash from a gsync certified this is great for the money.
Shipping
Amazon is sending me a replacement but it is going to be a month before i get it.
Packaging/appearance
Packaging was perfect when i got it and so far after a few days, it's been working fine.
Got this as a christmas present and it was perfect!
With the "hdr" turned on, it actually looks worse.
Competitiveness
2 - the osd offers more than i was expexting for a panel in this price range.
I look at different monitors at this price point and it was between samsung odyssey g5 or the gigabyte monitor.
If it’s sitting behind your keyboard it might be to big for competitive or semi competitive gaming.

The colors on this monitor however are not that accurate it does not look good when watching a movie through it as i can tell it looks washed out

Do not even bother using hdr mode as it is not true hdr and can cause problems and look even worse

There is significant backlight bleeding though which can be seen easily when the screen is not displaying anything
