What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing is inconsistent about refresh rates: its title mentions 165Hz and 144Hz, while details and features state 165Hz maximum over DisplayPort and up to 144Hz over HDMI. The 165Hz claim requires a compatible graphics card and DisplayPort. Console and game limits may be lower. The product details say 1 Milliseconds, while the feature text identifies 1ms MPRT. Confirm the connection and mode needed for your setup.

Customer feedback reports positive impressions of picture quality, appearance and setup, with some customers describing the 1440p image as sharp. Value is also viewed positively. Experiences are mixed on screen reliability, image quality and connectivity, including reports of a monitor stopping after a short period. These points matter alongside the listed QHD resolution and ports, but feedback does not establish that every unit will perform the same way.
