hi man i want to get it but some reviews are mentioning harsh grainy matte coating on the display. is the matte coating on this display good? is it a little grainy/fuzzy on white or light colors? a weird kind of "sheen" or "grain" on the whole screen that is mainly only visible on white or mostly white screens, like on UA-cam, or after opening a new tab. It's sort of hard to explain. It looks like there's a thin film of Vaseline on the screen, causing it to look smudgy. does it look like that for you?
@@Kian_Farasat i'm movin up for first time from a 24" 1080p TN panel - thats all i've ever used. Now my eyes gettin old and i don't know how it will be on these larger screens.

I got this monitor some days ago and have to say the colors look realy good, also it can be very bright and the clarity in game is awsome. Yet there's a huge problem with it. It gives me and other users eye strains, despite us optimizing the settings. Also when it shows a white backround like for web browsing it looks like there are stains in the white area. I have no clue why that is the case, but if those two problems wouldn't exist, I would have kept it, but those two issues are a no go for me.

bought it as a gift for my brother, he plays valorant, so past the actual refresh rate do you think the blur is good for high rank valorant? Cant find any videos comparing ghosting between this and other similar options. I know monitors isn't your channel specialty so if your not sure that's fine.

So the USB C does work with laptops, I did try it with my MacBook as well as a standard Asus laptop (not a gaming one). I am unfortunately not a monitor channel so I can't tell you how the ghosting compares to other similar options. Sorry
Can you use the usbc to power a usb hub? Every review says either optional display or charging your phone and that’s as far as they go with the explanation.
