It's a great monitor for the price and is a definite upgrade from the old 1440p monitor I've been using. The picture is very clear and sharp and with it being 160hz in the cases my rig can hit that at 4K is just a amazing experience with the HDR being a added bonus after i got everything set the way i like it.

Monitor was advertised as G-SYNC compatible. However, according to Nvidia Control Panel, it is not compatible, and I cannot enable G-SYNC. Because of this, I either experience screen tearing, or high input latency with V-Sync on. I would not have purchased this monitor if I was aware of this. It is not suitable for gaming.

I have 2 of these monitor connected to a Dell WPS17 with RTX3060 GPU. With HDR enabled and forcing the computer to use the GPU these monitor are very erratic. Many times they will go blank and not recover. Sometimes 1 monitor and other both monitors go blank. I had to change the BIOS and shut of HDR before I could get it to stabilize.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
