Great monitor all round except low refresh rates – Stylish, great colour reproduction (and that's coming from previously using an ASUS business grade monitor). The one down side though is when playing at 60Hz the framerate looks so rough! I believe it's because the agressive 1ms response timings (maybe an IPS monitor may provide a smoother image at lower refresh rates due to a slightly higher 4 or… Read more

5ms response rate creating micro-blurring between drawn frame transitions). Not so good for maybe some older games that are software locked 60Hz.

Nice Monitor with all the Specs a Gamer is looking for. Zero Frame Deceptive Marketing – A nice looking monitor that has all the features a gamer is looking for. 1ms Response, upto 144Hz Refresh Rate & 2560 x 1440 Resolution. Colours are nice and vibrant, with 8 preset modes including user setting there is enough Display Presets for all viewing needs. With 1x Display Port, 2x HDMI connections it may leave some wishing for a… Read more

DVI connector, an adaptor would overcome this issue, though you probably won't get the 144Hz refresh rate with an adaptor.

To achieve the 144Hz refresh rate, make sure the GPU can handle WQHD 2560 x 1440 @ 144Hz. I can run 2560 x 1440 @ 120Hz with a GTX 680. I already have plans to upgrade the GPU in the near future, I recommend others to do the research first.

I is a bit disappointing with the Zero Frame marketing, I wanted this monitor for a triple setup, side by side monitors will still have a little over 1" of black between them as the pixels do not populate the entire LCD. see Cons below.

Pros:

1. Price was reasonable for the specs of the monitor

2. Function Keys are easily accessible and unobtrusive, front mount. Great for Triple monitor setup.

3. Base is attractive

4. Both HDMI and Display cables included.

Cons:

1. Don't be fooled by the 'Zero Frame', whilst the monitor frame is very narrow the actual pixels do not go all the way to the edge of the LCD, ¼" left, Top and Right is black, so you still end up with a virtual bezel of around 5/16" top, left and right.

2. Stand is not height adjustable.

3. No Cable Management, however there is enough room behind the screen to conceal them behind.

4. Base/Stand take up lots of space. Legs of base protrude 7.5cm and distance
