IMartz verdict

Pros

  • 1440p IPS at up to 260 Hz at a very aggressive price.
  • Good brightness and contrast for its class.
  • White design and a good adjustable stand

Things to consider

  • Overdrive could be better; a more finely tuned intermediate mode is missing.
  • Nominal HDR
  • Flashing standby LED and a somewhat large base.

A good fit if…

  • PC gaming at 1440p with a high refresh rate on a tight budget.
  • Users looking for a white monitor with good ergonomics.
  • Those who value solid brightness, contrast and color in the budget segment.

Consider another option if…

  • You want truly convincing HDR.
  • You want the best GtG times in its class
  • You mainly want it for PS5 with VRR and ALLM.

Test note · EOTF tracking

HDR Personal keeps midtones close to the reference, although it raises shadows and is limited by the black level and a ceiling of around 400 nits. Vivid, Movie and Game progressively darken some midtones and highlights. Changing modes does not resolve the contrast limitations of this panel without local dimming.
