Strengths:
-price
-build quality
-high refresh rate
-good black levels
-freesync & g-sync compatible
-vesa mountable
-light weight
Weaknesses:
-viewing angles typical with VA panels
-colour accuracy/calibration required
-a little difficult to setup screen resolution in windows (in my setup options for resolutions above 1080p for the 3rd monitor was missing. Took some fiddling around even after updating drivers)
Additional Comments:
Good picture quality for gaming, will need some calibration if used for creator workloads. Good size for multi monitor setups. Light weight for easy handling and mounting. 165hz VA panel will not get IPS like picture from extreme angles but has better black levels. I already had 2 of these and when I saw the lowered price I sprung for a third one to complete my triple setup. Comes with solid metal stand that's very sturdy and easy to setup but I am currently using 1 with the stand and the other 2 via a dual monitor vesa mount. Also these monitors are 1080p but I run them in 4k for a noticeably sharper picture (no problem with the 2070 super so if you have the newer 3000 series you can probably run like 6 of these monitors off the same card hahaha). Bottom line is if you're a gamer this is a no brainer at this price point. If you're using for professional workloads then some fiddling and adjusting might get you close but if you're a pro you will probably want to spend more to get all the bells and whistles you need to create a great product. Oh and shout out to Memory Express for always being one of the more honest retailers out there. Will continue to be a customer even though your stores are farther from me than your competitors.

Weaknesses:
screen easily broken
Additional Comments:
I bought this monitor all excited cause its a first investment and when I opened up the box ( I placed it in a very safe position on the way back home ) I found two cracks right in the center of the screen and it completely ruined it cause they were right across the screen

Strengths:
It has a high refresh rate
Weaknesses:
Is a little bit low resolution of 27''. The colours are not good out of the box I would recommend one a Screen colour calibrator (I used this one [https://spyderx.datacolor.com/shop/]); after you calibrate the monitor it looks really good.
Additional Comments:
I would recommend this to any one who wants to mainly play games; because without the colours calibrated it is hard to recommend this to any one who wants to do any photo or video editing.
