Very good in everything, I don't have anything negative to say until I got a second one... In black, it shows red marks when in motion... Side by side with the first one, I notice the colors a little more green.

I have owned this screen for 1 year now and I owe a review as it has disappointed me. When watching a video/movie, etc., you realize that its blacks are one of its negatives. On the positive side, I consider it capable for gaming but not something extraordinary. Finally, today a burnt pixel appeared, which I hope the warranty covers.

Greetings.
The screen is not suitable for competitive games.
In combination with the 5600X and 3060, it doesn't perform as expected.
There is a lot of tearing and the 144hz is not smooth,
probably because it is 27 inches.
If you want a competitive monitor, you have to go for something more expensive... with BenQ being the first and best choice.

I bought the monitor after seeing all the positive reviews here, unfortunately I didn't do much research on the subject (big mistake, I always read reviews from multiple people normally).
--- Positives ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The screen image is very nice and its blacks are also incredible. Wherever there is black on the screen, you could really say it could be closed.
The colors needed a little work to adjust them as I'm used to, but they are satisfactory. At first, they are somewhat washed out, but colors generally always require some adjustment on a new monitor.
144hz refresh rate for a ~190€ monitor is very good, in my opinion.
--- Negatives ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Ghosting-
The monitor has very noticeable and annoying ghosting (basically motion blur). Compared to my old monitor from the same company that was purchased for around ~100€, the difference is very noticeable and in games, you almost get dizzy if you make many fast continuous movements. I didn't expect it to be so intense and noticeable, but it is. You can reduce it to a certain extent by using the MPRT feature and the OD (overdrive) feature. However, considering we're talking about a ~190€ monitor (when I bought it), which is advertised as a "gaming monitor," I think this level of ghosting is not acceptable.
-Menu-
The menu is quite awkward, mainly because for some reason they have placed buttons up and down in a menu that is from right to left. In any case, the menu won't be needed, except for the initial setup.
--- Conclusion -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For anyone who wants very nice blacks and contrast, the monitor is very good for that. For gaming, I wouldn't recommend it, even for casual FPS, because the ghosting I mentioned, especially in FPS and fast-paced games, is a big drawback for the monitor.

I have had it for about 4 months now and it is a very good budget gaming monitor. I will write the positives and negatives below for you to see.

POSITIVES:

1. Very nice colors and decent viewing angles.

2. 144hz refresh rate, making it a decent gaming monitor.

3. Exceptional contrast of 4000:1, it has the best blacks I have seen on a screen.

NEGATIVES:

1. (Applies only to this specific model) 27 inches at 1080p is the worst because the pixels are very noticeable. If you want a 1080p monitor, it should be a maximum of 24 inches.

2. (EDIT) I was mistaken about the response time because what I described earlier is a typical phenomenon in cheap VA panel screens. (e.g. if there is white text on a black background and you scroll or move the window, the text becomes unreadable)

3. (EDIT) I forgot to mention that the menu of the monitor is a bit difficult to use (I don't think it will bother most people, but personally, it bothers me).

4. (EDIT) For professional photo/video editing, I believe you should get something more expensive for better coverage of the RGB color space and HDR.

For now, these are my thoughts. I consider it a very good monitor for budget PC gamers, but please get the 24-inch model and if it is 10-20 euros more expensive, it's worth it to avoid the pixel visibility. I hope my review helped you with your purchase :)
