Great monitor, with good quality. Came with 0 dead pixels and minimal back light bleed. Only issue is that there is a high pitched noise when the monitor is off.
This is an excellent monitor and it was well worth the price. The colours pop much more than my last monitor and the 165 Hz framerate is quick and responsive.
There is some slight light bleed at the bottom of the screen, but it is only noticeable when the screen is completely dark. For general use, watching videos, or playing video games, it is not a problem.There is also an odd humming noise coming from the back of the monitor when my computer is turned off, which I have yet to find a remedy for.
Other than those (relatively minor) issues, this monitor has met all of my expectations and was well worth the money!
The monitor stand is not as stable as expected and came with 1 dead pixel.

Doesn't have screen sharpness, so it looks fuzzy. Legs are huge and take up a lot of space. Colours look washed out compared to Asus.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great colours, great response time, and true 165hz IPS. Very clear and almost no inverse ghosting. You get three USB ports and a combo headphone/mic jack. Honestly what more could you ask for?
The monitor quality itself is amazing, but the software that runs it could use some work (or the standards that are being implemented by it). The monitor appears to force you to use DisplayPort's optional spec of Plug'n'Play standard, where when the monitor is 'powered off' it tells the computer it has been disconnected. Most other monitor manufacturers allow you to toggle 'power saving mode' or some other setting, which allows Windows to not reset your desktop every time the monitor turns on or off. This is particularly frustrating because I like my open applications (and desktop icons) to stay where they are without third party software, and I remote into my computer frequently, which means I no longer have access to that monitor whenever it is off. For a high end monitor, this should be an expected feature and is frustrating to not have. I tried contacting their support about this but got the runaround and eventually they stopped replying to me (and there is no portal to login to in order to view the status of the ticket, etc, but that's not this monitors fault).
All in all though, this monitor's quality and refresh hate has been wonderful, as has the build quality. If this is something that can be updated via a firmware update in future, I'd be more than happy to update this to a 5-star review, but it's too major of an issue for me to ignore without a fix.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
