Review: Let's start this off by saying the box that this ships in is HUGE. I mean, I was changing from a 34" ROG Ultrawide and this box dwarfs that screen - so basically it is really well packaged. I can't/won't comment on the stand as the monitor is being put on a dual monitor stand. I'm replacing the 34" as a) it's only 100hz and b) I keep hitting my head on the corner of it. Essentially, this is similar to my older monitor, but instead of 3440, it's 2560, but it runs at 170hz so using G-Sync, my FPS isn't as limited. It is has more "pop" on screen than my older one, even if that was IPS. Colours and brightness are very good on this screen. The overlay is essentially the same as are the menus. However being able to use the monitor as a KVM between my 2 PC's is a godsend! Playing games shows no issues to my eyes and a lot of the reviews have said ghosting is minimal to non-existent, hence why I purchased it. There's some LED's on the back which can be customised as usual by Armory Crate. should that be your thing as well. Ultimately - I'm really happy with the new screen - the colours/brightness are improved, I can have more FPS due to the faster refresh rate (as said, the old monitor capped at 100 via G-Sync on purpose, this is 170hz so it's nice to have the refresh rate increased to match the power of the graphics card) and I no longer smash my head on the corner of it!
