Good monitor, good price for what you get.
I use this monitor connected via USB 2.0 from an acer nitro 5 4060.
I only get 120hz refresh rate when connected but thats just a on a per setup basis you still might get 165hz depending on your cords.
The curve to the monitor is very unnoticeable, in my opinion I'd save a few bucks and go with a flat monitor or spend more for more curve.
It feels very sturdy, and the base for the monitor is small enough to fit on my top shelf of my desk which is 6.7 inches, monitor stand only overhangs a tiny bit.
The color is very nice especially considering my laptop is only around 60% SRGB so it is very noticeable when I connect to the laptop.
I reccomend plugging in your cords to the back of the monitor before you attach it to the stand, I had some trouble getting 2 hdmi cords into the back after it was set up.
The monitor doesn't have built in speakers, you need external speakers or a headset to listen to your audio. (I always have a headset on so that's not a deal breaker for me but may be for some)
TLDR; Overall this monitor is a good purchase,
Pros: good color gradient, good image quality, sturdy, responsive, good price.
Cons: Curve is barely noticeable, ports are hard to access, tilt doesn't have big range, no built in speakers.
