I went from a 27" AOC 1080p Monitor that was 12 years old to this. I can't believe I've let my eyes suffer this long... This thing is sharp, bright and responsive! Between the 1440p resolution and refresh rates I won't be going back ever. The subtle MSI RGB light on the back is also completely unnoticeable, as in, I didn't even know it was working in a dark room. Which isn't a bad thing.
