Pros & Cons
Pros
The * are perfectly inky and the colours are bright and vivid. Sweet baby cheeses the game in hdr mode on an qd-oled looks absolutly fantastic, so vibrant and those * are deep and inky. The glossy screen does reflect light a lot more than a matte woul... Read More
Main reason for switching to this is for the type c input and kvm. Makes it easier to manage cable clutter when i also have my work laptop connected.

Price

To start with it was well packaged and protected with quality packaging which makes me feel care was put in by the company on e... Read More

I suspect the msi g274qpf-qd (for ips) and cheaper msi g27cq4p e2 (for va), both excellent monitors, will have wider appeal.
