    Incredible

    I bought this screen for the Rainbow Six Siege game, thanks to its remote control you can modify all sorts of filters, I used to use GeForce Experience to put a colour filter which made me lose performance, now the screen does it itself without loss. I'm very happy with the performance of the GeForce Experience, I'm very happy with the way it works and I'm very happy with the way it works. I'm very happy with the way it works and I'm very happy with the way it works and I'm very happy with the way it works.

    Excellent

    The screen is top notch, buy with your eyes closed!
    I'm using it mainly for CS:GO, the 240hz and colour settings are incredible.
    The screen is very well packaged and has a protective case for travel, two usb ports on the side of the screen and two jacks ports, so there is nothing to complain about on this screen, no flaws, only good qualities.

    in a word excellent!

    Coming from an Asus VG248QE @ 144hz I was afraid I wouldn't see any real difference...
    Well it's totally crazy... ! Because the DyAc and the Black Equalizer really make the coffee!

    The pluses :
    - The DyAc games are super fluid
    - the Black Equalizer, gives a clear advantage on games like CsGo
    -the small remote control is very practical to switch from one profile to another =)
    - the 240 Hz

    Minus :
    - you need a good configuration, if your pc doesn't reach 240 fps, forget about this screen...
    - the remote control is very practical but a small backlight to display which profile you are using would be a nice addition
    - the price, because if you have to change your PC to benefit from this screen, it will be quite a budget...

    I tested it on different games, the DyAc really improves the fluidity, however on the games where you do not display the 240fps it creates a slight impression of lag (tiny certainly but it is there ...) but the animations are much smoother than before ...
    If your game requires reactivity and you don't reach 240 fps, you'll have to make a choice... personally, DyAc is so pleasant that I leave it on permanently...

    To watch videos, I can only advise you to use SVP manager, which will transcode your basic movies in 25-30 fps to 240 fps, be careful because you will not be able to go back... Your videos will gain in fluidity and image quality.

    The colorimetry is close to that of an IPS panel after some adjustments that you can easily find on the net.

    To sum up, I don't regret my purchase at all, I had big doubts before taking the plunge... they have all gone!

    Nothing to complain about

    The screen has an excellent finish, super simple assembly, the design is clean, package arrived in good condition.
    It replaces a Benq XL2411 144hz bought in early 2017, after a few hours of play I can say that the colours and technology Dy-Ac clearly changes the quality of the image, for the 240hz it is not felt in a crazy way as I come from 144hz but the tracking of enemies is really more fluid.
    If you have the means and the desire don't deprive yourself, I don't regret it at all!

    very good screen

    so, as in the title.
    I'm not sure if it's a tn panel, but after a few adjustments the colours are as true as my ips panel screen.
    I'm not sure if it's the same as my ips or not, but I'm sure it's the same as my ips. I'm not sure if it's the same as my ips.
    I have not yet tested it without it but it seems to be working fine.
    I've been using it for a while now and it's been great.
    Thank you ldlc and chronospost, hf

    Perfect screen for (very?) competitive players

    The materials of the screen (stand + screen) and the quality of the assembly reassure us that the whole thing will last a long time. You can see that this screen has been designed to be moved in LAN parties, it is solid and the assembly without screwdriver, fast and simple, is a pleasure. It is sober, and more beautiful than in the photo.

    The remote control "S Switch" allows quick and efficient access to a very complete menu (you can set everything to your liking). The macros dedicated to 3 display profiles are also useful in everyday life.

    The screen is practical but not much more, the matt panel does 90% of the work against reflections.

    No defective pixels, very bright screen (I play at 5% brightness in a rather dark room as an example), and a TN panel that surprises by its display quality (for TN) so well adjusted.

    I'm not a fan of the Black Equalizer which removes the dark corners. The picture becomes bland, and it is difficult to discern shadows.
    DyAC technology is similar to ULMB (which operates at 120Hz or even 144Hz max.). Here DyAC works at 240Hz, which is very comfortable.
    I set the blue light filter to max. The image doesn't really yellow, and it's effective. (4 hours of play in a row without headache on my side)

    Having played on 144Hz, do you see a difference in 240Hz? I'm not sure. It's slightly smoother, but nothing transcendent. Only very experienced gamers will see a noticeable difference, provided their wallet can keep up.

    However, it's hard to beat it for e-sports players, or for competitive game enthusiasts (like me).
    It is without doubt the best in its field, bought with full knowledge, it fully deserves its 5 stars.
