Great overall monitor
I like the quality and the adjustability of the monitor. Runs my games well and it’s the right size for the things I use it for.

Crisp monitor with good refresh rate options
Over the years, I’ve used a number of monitors, but am by no means an aficionado or expert. As some of my older monitors are small but heavy, I’m slowly changing them out for newer, lighter weight options with higher resolution. This G50D, with a 2560×1440 resolution, is a definite step up from the 27″ monitor I was using before, resulting in nice crisp details and good contrast, all without needing much adjustment out of the box.I’m not pushing the refresh rate too hard most of the time, and will admit to swapping systems back and forth, but it really spends most of its time right around 60Hz, but it’s nice to know that I can push this up as I rotate into some more demanding games.Assembly was a completely different experience than I’m used to, using a rotating sort of twist on to attach the monitor to the stand, although a VESA mount is available underneath the base assembly, although I haven’t tried it to see how difficult it is to access. There is also a sort of cone-shaped cover to go over the monitor to arm connection, which I’m not as much a fan of….it feels a bit flimsy and doesn’t really want to latch in place very well for me, which could be user error, but given how easily everything else went together, this surprised me in its clunkiness compared the the elegance of the rest of the design.One other nit I had initially (as I was switching back and forth between sources, so lots of monitors on/off connections) was the little nag screen at the bottom of the monitor for far too many times, bugging me to register, adjust settings, etc. It just caused an annoying delay for me in being able to use that part of the screen right away and seemed unnecessary to me.Other than a few nits, this is likely the nicest monitor I’ve owned. It is far more capable than I will likely push it (despite having a higher-end gaming system), but it IS more than I’d also typically spend on a monitor as well, so the step up in performance does come at a little more cost.

Nice screen, thin edges, fits lots more with the higher pixel count.
2560×1440 is a bigger deal than I thought and was able to see how this monitor looked at 1920×1080 vs and old monitor that had a max of 1920×1080. What I noticed with the higher pixel count is you can get more files and text to fit on the screen and still have it readable, This same big monitor using my old laptop could only do the lower resolution (suppose due to old graphic card). Could get some extra on the screen, but it was limited. The high resolution and big screen was nice looking at maps, seeing more detail all at once.Either resolution was not able to run at a faster refresh than 60Hz. Don’t know if the new laptop going through a USB-C to DisplayPort cable was the issue. The cheapy cable claims to do higher refresh rates, so maybe it is the laptop. In any case, I’m happy with the 60Hz (even 50Hz was fine) and the slower refresh is supposed to save power. Right now in the summer, don’t need heat radiating on my face. But, at 60Hz, I am not noticing much heat at all, just a small area along the bottom of the monitor has the slightest warmth.I can push a couple buttons on the monitor and flip back and forth between an old on HDMI and new laptop on DisplayPort, fairly convenient. At the high resolution, I can load many files on the screen to work on and reference all at the same time. Perfect for what I need now. Maybe I should have gone even bigger.Have to be cautious about unpacking the monitor. There are specific instructions on putting the base together and it is very slick and prevents damage to the screen. You never remove the monitor from the box until you assemble the base and attach it to the back of the screen. Then you pick it up and put it immediately on the desk.The stand seem quality and well built. I like the flat metal base since you can use it to store things. My old base mounded up in the center so nothing could sit on it. The pivoting feature and raising/lowering works nicely. The bottom edge of the monitor can go down to 2.5 inches from the desk. I like a low monitor so I don’t have to tilt my head back. The stand will allow me to rotate to portrait mode, trying to figure out if that is something to consider using.The screen is a nice satin/flat matte look which does not reflect light. I have a window behind me and my old glossy laptop screen is terrible when the sun is bright with seeing reflections.Can’t speak for the gaming aspect since I don’t have the special graphic cards, but it is a nice monitor and easy on the eyes.Update: I did get the cable to go to 180Hz. The monitor was set by default to 60Hz limit. Changed the monitor setting and suddenly the monitor blinked a couple times as the video mode changed. For what I was doing I could not tell a difference in the picture. So, I put the monitor setting back to 60Hz. :end of update.
