Very fast shipping and excellent monitor. I upgraded from a 10 year old 19" monitor so this is outstanding.
I also see some people complain about dead pixels, I have 1 dead pixel in my monitor which is quite unacceptable for a £300 monitor, although Amazon did give me a 10% refund because of this issue.
Pros:
Extremely good Picture Quality
Lots of connection ports at the back
Sturdy build quality
144hz refresh rate is out of this world
Reliable Brand
Excellent for gaming
Can rotate monitor in any direction
very easy to set up and comes with a UK plug and a European one
Cons:
Quite large so make sure you have enough desk space
Not the cheapest monitor out there

The monitor is pretty good quality it does 1920x1080p at 165hz via the display port which is a good feature , it's a shame there is a black border round the screen due to the pixels not being able to stretch as its a 27in monitor with the pixles of a 24 . The picture quality is very good and after messing around with the settings can be outstanding . It can move up, down can be tileted and turned onto side it's pretty good.
The monitor also features some inbuilt settings , can get a cross hair to appear on the screen and there are varying styles and colors to choose from , there is a timer feature and an fps counter (even though it will just say 165 fps despite you not even running anything so isn't very accurate)
The sound quality is ... Awful but who needs a monitor with sound just don't be surprised when you try it out .
The last major issue is you pay extra to get the 165hz 0.5ms monitor as apposed to the 144hz 1 Ms monitor but as shown in the pictures it's a lie it is only 1ms so just be careful when choosing and do your homework on this product and others around it.
Overall it's a good mid range gaming monitor with great features like the cross hair and n-vidia gysnc built in (meaning all games sync with graphics card and monitor) which is a cool little surprising feauter , but for the price and the deceving people who want 0.5ms monitors then this isn't for you . In additon when contacting the seller about this issue they seem relectunt to do anything and insist it is 0.5ms despite the massive packaging saying other wise ... Overall 8/10
