97 dollars is crazy for 180hz fast ips tbh. 💀
Is the 300 nit brightness enough for a window facing desk or do we need HDR peak specs for that?
300 nits is standard for this tier. It will be fine for low light gaming but struggle in direct sunlight.
Fast IPS panel with 1ms GtG is the real story here. Color gamut is decent but motion clarity is king for competitive shooters.
27 inch 1080p is going to look a bit pixelated if you sit close though. 🤔
The warranty is actually three years which is rare for this price point. Usually it is just one or two.
honestly i just want to know if it has vesa mount holes because my desk arm is picky. 👀
G-SYNC compatible works on Linux too so that is good for my steam deck dock setup.
