    Sadly, this is a flawed product. Two major issues:
    1. Speakers are absolutely terrible, weak and thin. They are declared as 2*2W, so you would expect them to be about as good as average laptop speakers, but it's like the manufacturer went out of its way to find the worst possible speakers in the whole world. Average mobile phone has clearer speakers with more bass than this.
    2. Way too much black ghosting. If you want a VA monitor, you simply have to accept some smearing in the dark colors, that's the price you pay for the excellent contrast, but this one ghosts way more than my 8 years old 27" monitor which it was supposed to replace. Scroll black image on dark gray background and it will smear. My old monitor has 4 ms gtg pixel response time, this one has 165Hz max refresh rate, so mathematically it should have no more than 6ms response, but reviewers who measured it concluded it's actually about twice that. In the specifications pixel response time is declared at 1ms, but it's a marketing trick, you have to turn on MPRT, which does reduce black ghosting a little, but it also disables HDR and FreeSync, which are the main advantages of this model. I've put the old monitor next to new to compare the picture quality and the only thing where AsRock was better was in video reproduction, HDR brings it lovely color range and the screen is really uniform and with good viewing angles.

    In conclusion, this is NOT a gaming monitor, except if you play only Fortnite and games with no dark scenes. I could maybe recommend it for watching movies if you have good speakers to pair with it, as it is rather inexpensive. As for me, I'll return this to the store, it's simply not better than an average monitor I already have.

    No 31.5", 32"! A beast! Very well packaged, all parts are heavy and sturdy, easy installation without tools, the screen is easy to adjust in height and tilt. It comes with HDMI and display port cables. The stand also works as a Wi-Fi antenna and has cables that connect to the motherboard. + fabric cable sleeve. I am very satisfied with the quality of the materials, I got it on sale for $176
    *The lowest height setting is 50cm from the feet of the stand
    *Obviously the speakers that come with it are weaker than those of a phone and the 144Hz are not intended for "gaming" purposes, but only for those who want an affordable 1440p price at 31.5".
