anything for a smile
After some research I ended up with this monitor. I was hesitant to buy a VA panel because they often suffer from "black smearing". After connecting and setting up the monitor properly I was very surprised to see that this monitor does not suffer from this at all.
Long story short:
If you are looking for a monitor where the images are colorful and deep, look no further. Gaming and watching movies/series is just as enjoyable as when I watch it on my OLED TV, and that says a lot about this monitor.
Tip for those who want to buy it:
Set Smart MBR to around 5-10 in the monitor menu and leave SmartResponse off, this way you will not suffer from smearing/ghosting.

I recently bought this product and have been using it on my PlayStation 5 ever since. It has a great screen and good fps/Hz for games like Fortnite, Skate, etc. It also plays better quality games like Avatar Frontiers, Pandora, or Horizon. Highly recommended for the price. So far, no downsides, but to be honest, I expected a bit more quality. I'm also just getting back into gaming and don't know much about it.

Our digital expert will help you, but it can sometimes make mistakes, like humans do.
According to our monitor expert
See every detail: you can see all the details in your games clearly thanks to the 4K resolution.
Smooth gaming: you can see fast action smoothly on screen thanks to the 160Hz refresh rate.
Quick on screen: you can see fast motion sharply thanks to the 0.4-millisecond response time.
DisplayPort required: you can only get 160Hz with a DisplayPort cable, not with an HDMI cable.
Less immersive: your gameplay is less immersive without a curved screen.
