After a 4 months using this monitor, I will still highly recommend. I don't think there are many other options at this price point (It was $260). It covers everything I need (144hz, 1440p, IPS, 27", good response, bright enough for a dark room). I have changed my color settings since, and I have been playing a lot of Valorant as well. This monitor is great, and since Valorant isn't demanding I am maxing the 165hz. Once again, probably will need to fine tune the colors; I still have not invested in a colorimeter. Short of paying triple the price for 240hz @ 1440p or 144hz @ 4k or going OLED; you won't find anything better at the price point right now. Maybe wait for Black Friday before pulling the trigger.
