This is probably, at best, a middle of the pack product for the target demographic. It’s a tough crowd to get right. Gamers are either in a position to go all out and fret over thousands of dollars of spending to get the ultimate setup, which few can afford, or they will get what is good enough at the best price, and then complain that it is not the ultimate setup and feel sorry for themselves for not being to afford to buy what they really wanted, or buying something just as something better comes out.
We have nothing to tell us whether this monitor is good enough or is priced right, but sometimes, these SKUs are there to get attention and not business. It just might be a great a conversation piece for gamers.
