I feel obligated to write a review, partly in response to the first review posted for this product. This is definitely not a one-star product. Is it perfect? No. It is, however, an extremely good device for the niche that it is designed to fill. In keeping with a response, I will follow the general outline similar to the review by Aviv M.SIZE – 5/5At 65 inches, this monitor is not designed to be a desktop device. It is designed to be in either a living room environment, or in my case, a bedroom-sized office that due to space limitations in my house has to serve as both an office and the entertainment center for the family. I now use this display as my primary computer monitor, but also somewhere the family can gather to watch movies or play games. In that type of setting this monitor excels. Previously I had a 32-inch 4K monitor that sat on my desk. I was 2 to 3 feet away from this monitor and it had a retina-like display. I run Windows without any scaling on a 4K display, as I appreciate the real estate that such a display gives. I’ve never had a problem with small typefaces. The 65-inch monitor now sits 5 to 6 feet away from me and gives me exactly the same experience. To have a monitor this size, and expect to sit just a couple feet away, would require four times the resolution. That would be a 16K monitor. It is not intended to be on a desktop. It is designed to function as an entertainment center type device. And as such, it excels.DISPLAY QUALITY – 4/5I would agree that this monitor is a first-generation product. There are improvements that could be made. With that said, it absolutely fills the function that it is designed for. It is a VA panel and has all the restrictions that such a panel would have. It does not have as good of viewing angles as an IPS panel. But when gaming centered in front of it, or even with a family of four sitting together 8 to 9 feet away, it looks wonderful. Inherent to VA panels, it also excels over IPS monitors in the depth of blacks and contrast (greater than 4500:1 in my own measurements and calibration). Its HDR characteristics are incredible, especially considering that this is also used as a computer monitor. Watching HDR content on Netflix, Amazon Prime, or YouTube gives an experience that I have never had with a computer monitor. Playing HDR gaming titles such as Destiny 2 is incredibly engrossing. It is an 8 – bit plus FRC monitor. I do wish it was a true 10-bit monitor, but the colors it produces are still vibrant and satisfying. I am an amateur but enthusiast photographer, and it was important for me that this monitor be able to do photo editing work. I’m extremely pleased with its ability to produce reference quality colors out of the box. With simple calibration, it becomes incredibly accurate. In photography, I normally work within the sRGB color space, and this monitor is fantastic. I’ve included a picture of my post calibration report on this monitor with Average ΔE*00 significantly <1. This monitor produces images easily equivalent to my professional level BenQ 32 inch 4K monitor.The display does have some limitations, though. There is some noticeable although slight vignetting at the extreme edges and corners of the display. There is also very faint, but noticeable, banding that can be seen across the display when displaying a full-screen image of a white screen. This is a little disappointing for such an expensive device. In real-world use, however, it is only barely noticeable. I will have no problems editing photos on this display. I will keep my 32 inch Ben Q monitor, however, as a backup device for critical work.SOFTWARE & DESIGN – 4/5I have found just a few inconveniences with the control function on the display. As a gaming monitor with G sync, it has worked flawlessly for me. I am a personally competitive, but hobby gamer. This display is a joy to game on and definitely does not restrict my gameplay. The overall settings available for the monitor are consistent with most other monitors I have ever purchased. You can configure individual settings for every overall display setting, including backlight brightness, RGB controls, and pixel response times. There is a seven-level choice for response time, but level 3 is the best selection for overall image quality without ghosting. One has to remember that this is a computer monitor first and functions as a “TV” second. The menu selections are very consistent with what is expected with a computer monitor. It allows color calibration very well.The remote is the same remote included with the Nvidia shield. This does pose some limitations in controlling the monitor itself. I have seen several reviews complaining about the inability to do some basic functions such as change input on the monitor easily from this remote. That is because others have not simply read the manual for this device. You always have the ability to directly access the input menu for the monitor through a long press of the back button on the remote. Some remote functionality changes depending on whether you are within the Nvidia shield and apps. This can cause some confusion, but you are always able to quickly change the input of the monitor through the remote, and access the monitor menu within the same input list.My biggest complaint with the function of the overall software/firmware within the device is the difficulty in getting surround sound signals out of the monitor. I had hoped before purchase to have a single display port cable from my computer to the monitor, then an optical digital cable to my entertainment receiver, that would allow me to have Dolby Digital or DTS content simply passed through to my receiver. This has not been possible. Windows 10 sees this device as only a stereo channel device. I have found no way to pass a 5.1 signal out of windows into the monitor and then to my receiver. I still must maintain a separate optical digital cable from my computer to my receiver for this purpose. As of this writing, there is no specific driver or monitor.INF file for this monitor. I suspect that this may be improved with simple software updates. I have also found that if the soundbar is plugged in, even the Nvidia shield refuses to pass a 5.1 signal to my receiver, limiting it to two-channel stereo only. Again frustrating, but it seems a software/firmware update would be able to fix this.GAMING – 5/5OMG! This is what this device is designed for. HDR titles are incredibly engrossing. Just having a huge screen draws you into virtually any game, whether arcade or intense driving or flying simulations. Yes, 4K gaming is still in its infancy in being able to do greater than 60 FPS. However even with older games, that can easily run at 4K > 100 Hz, this monitor excels. I have a GTX 1080 Ti, and I had no problem maxing out Destiny 2 4K HDR and it looks brilliant! And if 4K can’t run at fast enough refresh for you, downsampling to 1080p still looks great. This is the best screen I’ve ever bought for pure entertainment. I sense no perceivable input delay. My calibration software calculated input delay of around 30 ms.SUMMARY:For my personal need as both a computer monitor and entertainment center, this display functions perfectly. The design is not perfect. It is a first generation device, and I expect it will improve in subsequent versions. There are some mild display quality issues, but in general daily use, it is minimal. I particularly find compression artifact in watching some SDR content, something I did not find on my 32 inch Ben Q monitor. Again, it feels like a software or firmware update could improve this. I’m hopeful this will occur in the future. 4K HDR content is impeccable. It truly rivals any OLED screen I have seen, but I have not personally owned recent modern televisions. As far as a computer monitor, it is by far the best that I have ever seen in visual quality with this type of content. I am pleased with my purchase but hopeful that some modifications will still occur.
