My take
Good points:
- IPS gives much better viewing angles and colour than a basic TN panel.
- 100 Hz is noticeably smoother than a standard 60 Hz monitor.
- 4 ms response time is fine for everyday gaming.
- FreeSync is useful with compatible AMD graphics cards.
- 27″ is a nice size for a desktop.
Limitations:
- It’s only 1080p, so the picture isn’t as sharp as a 27″ 1440p monitor.
- No USB hub or USB-C.
- No built-in speakers.
- The stand only tilts.
