I bought this as a replacement for my old, old, old mouse pad. This mouse pad is perfect! It's a good size, has a decent amount of grip on the bottom. After a few hours of gaming it shifts a very minuscule amount but no big deal. Easy mouse gliding on the surface and the material seems very good, no problems.

This monitor is really great! Out of the box the colors aren't the best, they are washed out. In the preset, "modes", landscape is far too saturated and vibrant. Some tweaking in the custom settings fixes this though. After this, the color representation is 10/10. (I will post my settings on the bottom part of this review if you wish to copy them for your monitor).
The LED power light is well hidden, it will not be annoying. Speakers are not the best as they are located behind the screen, but they do get LOUD if you want them to be and are still something I use everyday.
If you plan to game on this monitor, I suggest using the "Racing" preset mode as a base to start as according to the manufacturers website this setting will reduce input lag for the monitor.
For cable management, there is a gap in the stand itself to pull your video cables through. Pull the door hard to remove the cable door. There is only enough room to fit 2 HDMI cables and the power cable through this small gap.
75Hz IS available using the included HDMI cable. Freesync is not required to hit 75Hz out of box for PC. Consoles will force 60Hz regardless for their max output, this cannot be changed for any monitor/TV.
FOR NVIDIA USERS: In the Nvidia Control Panel under "Change Resolution", change your Output Dynamic Range to FULL from Limited otherwise you will also have washed out colors from this. AND change resolution to PC 1920x1080 from the automatically chosen "Ultra HD" 1080p, 1920x1080 (native) if you want to hit 75Hz.
Settings: Racing mode, No blue light filter selected, Brightness w/e, Contrast 70, Color Temp: normal, SmartView: off, Trace Free: 80, Aspect Control: 0, VividPixel: 0. I also use Flux to make the colors warmer for less eye strain with these settings.

Can freesync run on a Nividia graphics card?
No, FreeSync is exclusive to AMD graphics cards. G-Sync is for Nvidia graphics cards. But you can still use this monitor with either brand.

Will this monitor work with nvidia graphics cards?
Yes, I use it with a Geforce GTX 1060 6GB. Freesync has no effect of course for Nvidia cards, but it's OFF by default.
