NOT RELIABLE

ABOUT THE AUTHOR - Anthony GarreffaAnthony is a long time PC enthusiast with a passion of hate for games built around consoles

narrow “infinity-edge” bezels look great - whereas rival monitors at this price often have thick plasticky bezels

my biggest complaint fell around the build quality of the stand

it is not sturdy to use as a stand as they suggest

broke one day after the warranty

find it funny how absolutely destroyed the box that the monitor comes in is

bread type etc as they seem a bit fragile

Poor Build Quality

The leaking is not too bad
