If you want an all-singing & all-dancing 4K multi-Hz-refresh-rate monitor then this probably isn't for you, and you're going to have to look at parting with quite a bit more of your hard-earned.
What this IS though is an extremely capable QHD gaming monitor which is capable of a really great picture with no ghosting even when used at a high refresh rate. Compatability with NVidia's G-Sync as well as AMD's Freesync is a great feature which seems to work very well.
Without going into more technical blurb which I'm sure is covered elsewhere, I will just say that so far this monitor goes plenty bright enough and I've seen no noticeable backlight problems in everyday use. In fact, it hasn't once skipped a beat; it just handles everything that's thrown at it.
The stand is very sturdy and the included DisplayPort cable - while maybe not being the longest - works well even at 165Hz refresh rates, as you might expect.
You might well be able to find an alternative monitor from another manufacturer which does very similar things with a very similar specification while spending a little less, but as an all-round package with great picture quality this really is quite a brilliant mid-range gaming monitor.
