Rich colours are lovely

nail all the extras that should come at the price

not exceptionally low minimum luminance
The image appears noticeably warmer than factory defaults
Selected Display is not validated as G-SYNC Compatible
sunlight streaming into the room on a bright day
the display suddenly turns up or down the backlight brightness

mediocre contrast ratio and black uniformity make it
you not only can control the volume or mute the sound

No cherry-picked units sent by brands
lack of adjustability is disappointing for those who need to work in portrait mode
the sound can get quite muddy at higher volumes
