Thank you for your detailed review!

Nice review 👍

Nice monitor Guardian

great monitor for me - i bought it 2 Weeks ago and i am very happy about. No dead pixels and blb isn't a problem for me. is better than my asus before.

i remember last Star fighter awesome watch it back in the day loved it

Ooo, what options do you get in that KVM menu? I'd love to know if you can have USB C for the peripherals with DP or HDMI as the screen input as that right hand side. I'm assuming not and the USB C side has to have everything through USB C?

Thanks very much for your review. Newegg just got these back in stock today, so I jumped on it and grabbed one. My only concern is with dead pixels - would be annoying but not a deal breaker as Newegg's policy for returns is solid. Also a bit concerned with switching from a 35" 3440x1440 Ultrawide 120hz VA panel to this. My 3090FE isn't really being utilized fully in many games, and I'm looking forward to seeing my games in 4k. But I'm not sure how much I'll miss that extra width for gaming. Destiny 2 for example oversampled to 6K on the Ultrawide looked AMAZING. But I'm hoping the extra crispy pixels will be a lot nicer in Warzone, for example. I guess we'll see! Again, thanks for the great review. UPDATE: I didn't have a single dead pixel and the upgrade was *well* worth it. games run nearly equal to how they did on my previous ultrawide, which I attribute to the fact that there's less rendering of models and textures in the periphery. The colors are gorgeous and refresh rate is a nice bump, especially with slightly older games like witcher 3, sea of thieves, and the like!

Upvoted. Only review I found, that included off the wall power consumption. All info online says either 40w, or just states 120w maximum. Bought one used for one year, for 459 USD. Hope it will last. Updating from 1080p 60hz Benq GW2450HM bought new circa 2013 😂. It doesn't want to die despite 16h a day use, nor diplays any signs of wanting to, and things don't fit on 24inches anymore. At ease soldier... What brightness setting you used while measuring the wattage? Probably can be run much dimmer. 20-30% less power consumption I reckon.

Monitor just arrived yesterday. It's a beast. I turned off the RGB ( because I don't like RGB, and it uses power ). For anyone interested: I have green eyes ( so almost no pigment in my eyes ). So I see like a cat, and I don't need much light. I've set the brightness to... 5 ( out of 100, and "Green" mode is default 50 brightness ). And everything still looks plenty bright for desktop use. I could probably use it at 3 or something, but the colors loose "punch". At 5 everything looks good.

I can't decide between this and the 43" FV43U. They're the same price yet the 43" is Qled with hdr 1000

@@DirtRoadRemedy Yes, you can use it with ps5 with hdr disabled. I have HDR turned off on the monitor. Though if this is primarily for console use there are probably better options out there like a solid VA panel with very usable HDR like say the Aorus FV43U for around the same $1000 and it has HDR1000 and would be much better for console use. That is if you can fit a 43" panel. www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824716002 (make sure you update the firmware). If you have a larger budget say around $1500 then OLED becomes an option. Also, look for chroma 4:4:4 support if sharp text and pc usage is also important. Also, beware of BGR. Apparently the FV43U is BGR: www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/gigabyte/aorus-fv43u

The only drawback with using a 1660 with a 4k monitor is you won't be able to drive it at native resolution. Even with aggressive FSR settings I would guess just running it at 1080p would be better. Still, it should work fine if looking a bit blurry especially at 32". But the ps5 should look fantastic on it minus HDR.
