Almost got two for myself too. But would not fit on my desk with my big bookshelf speakers. I saw them at a bestbuy.ca tho and they look real good. Sure it's not 144hz, but it's IPS and 1440p and 300$ and in canaduh


Yeh I have Kef Q300's, so I'll have to wall mount them now possibly. I'll be getting a vesa mount arm for the screens so I can rotate one to use vertically when needed.

They arrive within next 5 days. Hope no issues.

Just got them in. They work fine.

Overall good for the price.

Not quite as good as I thought they'd be. Backlight is neither bad nor impressive. Colors are good. Due to size, and because I'm using 2 monitors, my viewing angle usually means 1 corner on each monitor appears a bit darker.

Doesn't feel like a steal like it would appear, just a good deal.

Update: Returning one or both.

Problems with both:
• Both monitors do not appear to be IPS or LED. Viewing angles are closer to a great TN panel, or a VN panel, not IPS. This could be fine on its own, but combined with brightness being so-so, there's always a dark far-end of one monitor that requires me to adjust my neck to see it properly.
• Nits definitely not 250. Close, but the screens are a tad bit dimmer than advertised. Just as bright as my previous LCD monitor, though, which I believe was 230 nits or so.

Problem with monitor #1:
• One single dead pixel. Cannot revive it. I would be OK with this if the screen was for gaming or videos, but I use a lot of word, excel, etc, and I see it ALL the time.

Problem with monitor #2:
• Faint diagonal lines spanning the entire monitor. Almost like a pattern intended to add texture to a website background. Others cannot see the pattern immediately, but after 10+ minutes of usage it becomes obvious & then you see it every time.
• White splotch areas, where the screen is whiter (almost as if the entire rest of the screen has a layer of dust preventing perfect white to come through, and these small splotch areas are white). The areas are small but you begin to notice them once working.
• Backlight is slightly dimmer on monitor #2. By about 5%.
• Monitor #2 has a different color calibration & I cannot get it to match the other one. Difference is small but noticeable.
• Monitor #2 hurts my eyes a bit, whereas monitor #1 does not. Someone else confirmed as well.
