    TweakTownHands-on review

    Calls the dual-mode 4K/1080p IPS monitor an excellent do-it-all gaming display with fast response and vibrant colour, with price versus OLED the only complaint.

    Windows CentralHands-on review · 2024

    A joy for gaming with smooth motion, nice colour and a sturdy adjustable stand, though the dual-mode idea suits a niche audience.

    Tom's HardwareHands-on review · 2024

    One of the fastest and most versatile gaming monitors for the money, with low input lag in both its 4K and 360Hz modes.

    TechRadarHands-on review · 2024

    A very quick, crisp 4K IPS gaming panel whose 1080p pixel-doubling mode works well enough.

    PCMagHands-on review · 2024

    A reasonable compromise for gamers wanting 4K plus a high-refresh 1080p mode, but HDR is weak and the reviewer prefers the OLED sibling for most buyers.
