Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

For under $380 I think it's going to be hard to beat this monitor. Especially since the 27GL850 is consistently out of stock. For the price you are getting: - Essentially the same panel as the 27GL850 - Excellent response time + motion handling - Officially certified by Nvidia G-Sync support - FreeSync - sRGB color space - More money in your pocket - You can actually find this monitor in stock What's missing from it's bigger brother: - No USB ports - No wide gamut color support - No HDR (there isn't really any true HDR on the 850 either so you're not technically missing out) I didn't notice any back light bleed, stuck pixels, or excessive IPS glow on my unit. I almost hesitate to include pictures of the monitor when it's on because the pictures do not accurately show what I'm seeing in person. In the pictures it looks as if there may be some excessive glow in the top right and bottom left of the screen but I assure you that I absolutely do not see that in person and only via my camera. The contrast is ok. You're not going to get the deepest blacks but it still looks great and if you're not nitpicking, I don't think you're really going to notice it either. The color pops nicely though I recommend setting the brightness to at least 75-80 to get the most out of the picture. Tested out G-Sync with my GTX 1070 and have had no problems. G-Sync is on by default so you won't even have to go into your settings and mess with it. G-Sync only works via Display Port FYI. Knocking off a star because my stand wobbles a little bit where the foot meets the pole. It also comes with the shortest power cable I have ever seen. It's maybe 3 feet long. There is no swivel and It's entirely made of plastic so don't get your hopes up for metal anything. If you're looking for a monitor in this price range, I don't really see any need to look any further.
