I have it paired with a 7900xtx GPU and I'm loving it, colour is nice and so are the visuals. Good Budget 4k monitor!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Was going to get the 2K model but decided 4K at 150% mag would help with text clarity which it does. I was able to set my other monitor to same resolution using NVIDIA controls and so both monitors show same text size, rather than leaving both at native resolution.

I am upgrading from a Samsung UD28D590D that lasted over 10 years and refuses to die, because I am one of those people that don't replace items until they break. I had this monitor on my wishlist since researching about it in the summer, and finally decided to pull the trigger on black friday despite my Samsung still running fine. I was blown away by how technology has advanced in the last decade. The color accuracy, text sharpness, and high refresh rate are light years ahead of my old Samsung. I do think this is the one of the best non-OLED monitors you can buy, and offers incredible value when it goes on sale.
My monitor has zero dead pixels and arrived in mint condition. Setup was as easy as snapping together lego pieces. I was immediately able to achieve 160hz on my cheap amazon DP cable, and I can confirm this monitor does indeed support Nvidia G-Sync, you just have to manually update the Windows driver to the newest one from the manufacturer website.
TLDR; if you are considering upgrading from an old monitor, now is the time. Your eyes will thank you, especially if you WFH.

STAY AWAY

I don't normally write bad reviews but I don't want anyone wasting their time or money. There is something fundamentally wrong with the monitor. At a straight on viewing angle the bottom corners of the screen are completely washed out and grey, and it's a large corner that reaches up about 25 percent up the screen on each side. This should not happen at a straight on viewing angle. Also all the professional reviews and testing illustrates the motion clarity of this panel, but in my opinion I didn't notice much of a difference at 160hz from my 60hz tn panel. Going straight back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
