What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
The osd is a bit tricky. The joystick menu button on the back is great. It supports g-sync. The monitor includes a usb type a cable to go to your pc which enables you to use the osd sidekick software.

Although its not oled and has not got the best hdr rate will do the job if you have a beefy gpu to run 4k games
