Owner of a 25' Dell Ultrasharp 2K (which had a very nice image), Asus 27' 144hz Fullhd (very good response). I was looking for something that has it all for a long time, and I ended up with this monitor. It is literally the ultimate version for a monitor that anyone can get, in realistic price-performance terms (purchased for €440, if you find it lower, it increases the value of the deal).
Positives:
- Everything.
Really, both the monitor as an image-colors perfect (IPS), and the 2K that makes everything more crisp and 165hz (with Overclock it reaches 180 but it is not necessary [in fact, they say it will wear out the monitor, so I haven't even tested it]) which, although I had a 144hz monitor, feels even snappier.
Oh yes, and because many people have issues with the menu (I really don't know why), it is user-friendly and understandable (with plenty of settings for fine-tuners).
Negatives:
- The monitor stand (which, by the way, is the most sturdy and good one I have seen) takes up quite a bit of space, resulting in needing a deep desk (I have an 80cm one), although with the monitor arm I have (~€55 RaidSonic Icy Box IB-MS503-T), it is perfect (trust me, GET a monitor arm no matter what screen you have, and you will remember me).
- I don't have anything else :P I will update if needed.
- Update #1: The only thing I hadn't taken into consideration, if we're talking about gaming, is that in 2K (but this applies to all 2K monitors, not specifically this one), there are fewer FPS because more pixels = more load on the graphics card. Personally, I have a very good one, but still, there are games that don't reach 165 fps to fully utilize it (I have a 3080 and I'm experiencing a bottleneck due to the i7-8700 -.- ).
Note: 32'' as a size is not for all users, and it requires a sufficient distance to be comfortable for the eyes (Measured 90 centimeters eyes-monitor). I went from 27'' to 32'', and the difference wasn't very big. If you go from a smaller screen, it will seem huge.
Update #1: One year later, still perfectly satisfied. The only thing I changed is that I went to 100 centimeters distance, from 90, for a more comfortable viewing
