Best monitor ever amazing quality and price 100% recommended

Looks good

Absolute awesome ass monitor, I use strictly for gaming. Since I’ve purchased my gaming stats went off the charts! HUGE improvement is gaming. My image attach sucks I blame ... you know who :/ I’m telling you this Monitor is straight fire and that price point yo! BUY! Promise you won’t be upset.

Monitor is fine except for the separation from the screen and frame that happened an hour after hooking it up I’m sure I could get an even exchange for it but it took so long to get here I don’t know if I should.

In case anybody is curious about this monitor. There isnt a lot of information online about it. Fire Legend: Big and not too expensive. Got mine for 438 with tax and prime shipping. Its not listed anywhere but its gsync compatible. Also not listed anywhere it has 2 levels of motion blur reduction with the backlight strobe. Also not listed anywhere (seeing a pattern here) it has a form of local dimming when HDR is activated. There is about 16-20 vertical zones. On an all black background you can see each zone light up as you move the mouse. Coming from a monitor that is a level below HDR400, I thought that was pretty cool. Also not listed anywhere you can enable 10 bit color at 144hz in the Nvidia control panel. I see no difference between 8 and 10 bit, but maybe somebody will find that info useful. I feel like this has a better contrast ratio than most IPS panels Ive seen lately. I have no way of measuring this. It just looks really nice. HDR actually looks like its doing something in BFV and Doom Eternal. No dead pixels so far. Back light bleed exists but its not terrible. Fyre Festival: Motion blur reduction dims screen too much on its most aggressive setting making it almost useless. There is a medium setting that is brighter but less crisp. Cant use it with Gsync enabled. Not the fastest panel out there. Using blur busters UFO test its not as clear as the 200hz 30inch MSI ultrawide this is replacing. Its not terrible, Ive just seen faster. The stand sucks. The monitor isnt level after mounting it to the stand. Confirmed this with my bubble level. I put a little felt adhesive circle under the right side monitor base and it sits perfectly level now. Such a stupid problem to have when everything else is really good. **UPDATE April 6th 2023** While I still enjoy using the monitor a few issues have popped up. Sometimes one of the dimming zones sometimes gets stuck. So if your using HDR than there will be one vertical zone that is dark while the others are lit. It looks as bad as it sounds. The other issue is that sometimes the monitor will crash and you have to completely power it off or wait for it to recover to get video again. These issues are VERY intermittent but they are a PITA when they do happen. Knocking off a star for now.

Worth the buy

Perfext

everything about this monitor is great, the refresh rate, the size, brightness and so on, the only problem ive been having with it is it turns off and on randomly, if i could maybe get a replacement that would be wonderful and i would change my review, but until then it will stay at 3 stars. UPDATE-it no longer lets me do the advertised 165hz, I have to do 144 for it to work, if I can get a replacement I will change my rating but for now its a 1 star.

Got for my son on prime day! Got a great deal on it and he loves it! Did have to but speakers for it but other than that we are very pleased!
