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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

WARNING (PS5 OWNERS)
on December 31, 2020

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.

Disappointed Bright Pixel Straight Out of The Box

Just bought this monitor today. Literally 2 hours ago. Upon setting it up I noticed a bright pixel or known as a bright pixel. This is a design flaw that according to ISO standards is somehow normal. For 463 I expected better quality. Not sure if I will return this yet or just live with it. Moral of the story, not happy.

Taking it back

TLDR, I currently have the VG279QL1A which is basically this EXACT monitor but 1080p. I figured id get this one on sale and try it out and upgrade to 1440p.
BUT the monitor has TERRIBLE back light bleed, specifically in the bottom right corner. If you move out perfect position the bottom right corner glows like you got punched in the eye. ALSO it has very very bad blur when under heavy motion, which I experienced while playing multiple games. No matter the settings I couldnt get it to be smooth. Upon research I found these monitors are notorious for both of these issues and its basically the luck of the draw you take when buying a lower end monitor.
Whats weird is, like I said I currently have the basically identical monitor just 1080p, and it looks amazing. No backlight bleed, it has IPS glow but nothing noticeable in very black scenarios. So I might take it back and see if I can get one without a backlight bleed/glow thats so noticeable, but from what I seen online its not going to get any better.
If your going to spend the money get a newer technology monitor for a bit more money, not this one that came out in 2019

Beast monitor!

Excellent monitor with all the bells and whistles. Definitely gave me more confidence in fps games.
And man 144hz is night and day vs 60hz anytime there's movement on screen.
Need to make sure your gfx can output atleast 144 frames on average in the game you play to take full advantage of this monster!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Does what it says

Great monitor, but be sure to check for defects I had to take the first one back as it had some backlight bleed about an inch from the bottom left corner. The second one has been perfect, so far.
I would recommend this to a friend!
