Very annoying inputs

Great monitor except for the inputs at the back. For whatever reason they're all angled so it's next to impossible to plug in HDMIs or DP cables from the front without turning the thing around and getting a better look.
Just WOW ! the graphics are so clear and colors are so bright. Everything about it is just truly amazing. I’m so happy I chose this one. It has the best of both worlds, in terms of value and quality.
Purchased this monitor on sale on boxing day. Expected a decent quality with this price tag. Although, this monitor is not the most high end in its class, but not the lowest and the cheapest either. So, I expected a better product. The monitor performs well in a gaming environment with high refresh rates and G-Sync. However, it still has major light leaks, IPS glow, etc. which is noticeable if you are looking at a solid background when not playing games. These are usually due to less quality manufacturing at the edges, materials used, etc. I expected a little more quality. Also, the viewing angles are not as good as my LG IPS monitor I am using currently. I also dislike the preset color schemes that are available on the OSD menu. None of them are perfect, and there isn't much you can adjust either. There no OFF mode for the game visual presents. I would like to have a regular mode without enhancements and adjust it manually myself. If I select sRGB mode, it disables all adjustments... I mean... You cant win. These profiles are great while playing games, but for anything else they are terrible. I am not sure If I will be keeping these monitors. I bought 2 of them. this is my third day of using them, I will decide by end of this weeks if I will return or not... Disappointed to be honest.
This monitor is not capable of 120hz for the PS5. I bought this monitor to use for my PC and PS5, the PS5 does not have 1440p support so you have to use 1080p in the ps5 settings in order use 120hz. However, this monitor does not allow for 1080p 120hz. You can verify this by googling the manual for this monitor and looking at at the timers in specifications section, i wanted to share my experience so you won't have to go through the hassle. I would just like to add for a $579.99 monitor, no 1080p support at 120hz is disgusting.
Couldn't be happier with this purchase. Researching monitors was tedious and after a couple weeks this was what caught my eye. Price is adequate for what you get and the the ratings and reviews are on point. Definitely reccomend.
Great picture quality, has goodies like ELMB, stand is really nice (I put aside my vivo desk mount from previous monitor) and its not astronomically priced. Really good value here, especially if you can snag it on sale or can find an open box.
