This is a great monitor but for PC. I bought it looking for better performance out of an Xbox Series X but it is not HDR10, so that feature will be useless. On the other hand an Xbox Series S is great for this monitor. Love the menu interface and @1440 120FPS runs great on Next Gen Consoles.

This was delivered today. I bought this monitor after reading what little reviews are out there and overall the sentiments about the monitor’s image quality were positive if not very positive. There was little mention of some ghosting but was subjective. Its Not subjective. Its awful. Like, looks no better at its best…than my 1080p Samsung 27 I bought 5yrs ago at Sams for $140. Using this on a brand new Display Port 1.2 cable. Fresh display drivers, audio drivers, and Windows updates applied today. Freesync Premium enabled. Thought the ghosting would only affect gaming but Youtube tested at 480 – 2160p 60fps is a mess with ghosting causing the image to look not sharp and smooth but stuttery and has what looks like digital noise in every frame. Anime is pretty bad, 4k movie trailers worse at every response time setting Normal/Fast/Fastest. Some games were much much better setting this at faster response setting, and some games it made it worse. Had to mess with it per game every time. Not cool. Valorant/CS GO were pretty good with less ghosting but obvious ghosting even though these games ran far above the 165fps for sync. Freesync enabled. With and without vsync makes no difference. COD Cold War is awful.. digital noise everywhere. I’ve turned the settings down while keeping the resolution and refresh constant and nothing makes the issue go away with the just frankly weird effects on the textures and color noise when moving. Freesync is doing its job, there is zero page tearing. I’m on an AMD Vega 64. Color is not awesome. Like very not awesome. Gaming OSD app doesn’t exactly make this an easy adjustment either. A lot of fiddling time would be spent here. I’ve read this process is not fun to calibrate on the MSI models. PPI at less than 100 seems to be why this even at its best visually looks nearly the same as my 1080p 27. With the ghosting, it actually looks worse even when at its best FPS and frame syncing, hundreds of FPS. Scrolling down a web page with bright text on dark images makes after images of the words as you scroll. Same as in games with any movement. Viewing angle even sitting directly center as far as eye level..there’s parts of the screen at the top and bottom, and on the corners that looks like dimmer from the viewing angle effects of this specific VA panel. I couldn’t find a place to sit or stand where that was not visible on a darker screen or in Youtube with the dark theme etc. Horizon 4 on this monitor is less vivid, less smooth even at higher frame rate than I get in 1080p since I turned the settings down but kept resolution 2560x1440p vsync and without..etc. On my old monitor 1080p max settings, Freesyc 72Hz vsync, the game is butter smooth and responsive . On this monitor the car you’re driving looks amazing..like the 100+ fps I see on the fps meter would usually mean.. but everything around it is a mess. Road surface twitching in lit areas, trees and grass look like their glitching. Gets better if you set response time to Fastest but always there, either way. Just not as bad. Messy image with motion. Any motion. I was super pumped for this upgrade as its been years and I’ve upgraded my PC substantially. But this monitor is not good for media, not good at gaming no matter how many fps you throw at it because of the ghosting. Even 720p 60fps youtube video on this monitor is ghosting so bad it looks worse than on my son’s raspberry Pi using an old DVI 1080p monitor. That 10yr old panel was Way smoother. I was shocked watching these side by side in real time. My wife watched me play some games, and videos from 720p/60fps up to 2160p 60fps and the only thing she asked was if I could still return it. How could this be a 2020 new release $400+ gaming monitor that looks this bad while gaming/watching videos/doing computer things? I think I’ll be returning this, I cannot express my disappointment.
