FINALLY a mini led ips for the U.S!
Purchased before any reviews were up, with coupon at $399.99. This is the one everybody! All the miniled panels at this time in the u.s. have been VA, I’ve tried them, and for someone who needs color and contrast accuracy for photo editing AND a good panel for gaming and hdr.. VA panels have fallen flat on the first category again and again. BUT THIS! this ips is what I was waiting for. I had previously tried the latest KTC miniled and while that got BRIGHT, even with all the adjusting on the world I couldn’t get it accurate for my needs (plus I got 2 and both had dust or stuck pixels on the screen). I also had a nice ips panel but the ips glow in dark scenes and lackluster hdr levels had me searching for something better.This one gets bright, not as bright as the hdr1400 screen I tried previously but plenty, it’s color accurate from the box especially in adobe and srbg modes, I only adjusted it a tic for preference, but it really didn’t even need it. It has SO MANY screen modes with some are actually useful, it’s highly tweakable in color/hue etc that anyone would be pleased. They also include a print out of them color testing your exact panel – I thought that was a nice inclusion.IT REALLY SHINES IN HDR MODE! My previous VA panels looked “eh” at best in SDR and were only really good in HDR, but this is nice and accurate in both.HDMI 2.1 is a lifesaver. Especially if you have apple TVs or Roku plugged in, you can run hdr and extended resolution modes instead of just being locked into 1080p on your 1440p monitor. I’m sure this is important for console players too.Build quality is good, although mine arrived with some mini scratches on the corner bezel. Considering everything I’m able to overlook this. The stand is actually pretty nice too, the base it stands on is metal instead of just plastic. There isn’t a large amount of noticeable light bleeding from the corners like a usual ips. Local dimming mode really takes this from a nice ips panel to a miniled/OLED feel with the touch of a button. I really really like that, I feel like I don’t have to compromise and I really do get the best of both worlds.My only little gripe is the rbg lighting on the back (which is a plus) only has a set of preset colors/modes. I wish at this price you could adjust the levels like a color wheel giving you access to more colors/saturation levels. Otherwise this is everything I was looking for and was worth going over budget, I just won’t be able to afford a second one just yet – but I would 😂

Great for those of you who, like me, are a bit afraid of destroying an Oled.
I got this monitor on a cyber Monday sale, and no issues so far! It has plenty of settings, some of which I never knew I needed or would use! Namely the pbp/pip modes!! I thought I was going to need another, cheaper and smaller monitor to help with some server tasks while still having access to my main screen, but this monitor takes care of that! for gaming, the 240 Hz allows my GPU to be more fully utilized when playing fast action games, which is nice.This monitor has two HDMI ports, one DisplayPort, and a headphones jack.It can get a bit warm when using high brightness and Hz and HDR, which is the only thing I don’t love, but I am also not surprised, just something to note if you use this monitor with settings that consume a lot of power all the time. I prefer to stuck with 60hz when not gaming to save power regardless.I am not such a stickler for fps, but I do care about color and clarity, and this monitor has massively improved that aspect of gaming and productivity vs my old one. also looks fantastic on my ps5, and allows games to run smoother with raytracing, given the 1440p capabilities. A monitor with 4k might be able to do 1440p too, but my specific 4k TV cannot. Elden ring looks so good on this thing and the game no longer stutters when on quality mode.The Internal speakers are another bonus, which I am very happy to have. While I may miss the size and the curve of my old msi monitor, this monitor blows it clean out of the water in every other aspect, and after like a day of use, the size difference was nearly forgotten. All the buttons work well (and thank god they are BUTTONS that REACT when you press them, and not the stupid little all in one control knob or touch pad style “buttons”. might actually be one of my favorite things about this monitor. I love having buttons that work.
