I bought the device in a sale, so I think 559.- is a very good price/performance ratio! The starting price was 849.- btw...
The first thing you notice is the solid and high-quality workmanship, - as well as the generous scope of delivery! Even a 100x100 VESA wall mount adapter is included! The matching stand is VERY deep, which should be considered for tables that are not too big, which is why I immediately decided to mount it on the wall. Of course, it's always a question of taste, but I like PC monitors on the wall much better anyway, if only because of the "tidy" look. On the one hand, of course, there is the enormous size (for a PC monitor!) of 32'', and on the other hand, the extremely space-consuming stand. These 2 factors made my decision easier in advance anyway! :-)
The set-up offers a lot of adjustment possibilities, there is absolutely nothing missing! I find 144Hz ideal for 2560x1440. I've tested all the different Hz monitors so far (up to 240Hz), but I don't think the difference between 144 and 240 is really noticeable, especially since it's not worth the difference because you'd have to switch back to 1080p. But if you're used to 60hz / 100Hz, you'll definitely notice an enormous upgrade!
I run the monitor with a 2080 TI and feel that 2560x1440 is currently the absolute sweet spot for this card. You get a good resolution and can still easily play the latest AAA titles at 140 FPS.
The HDR image looks rather pale and colourless in Windows, but this is due to Windows and has nothing to do with the monitor itself. In games, however, the whole thing looks very good. The colours look very real and contribute to a more realistic experience. (Tested with BF5)
I don't want to go into the many details of the settings in detail, you are better off reading through the numerous available reviews.
Since nVidia has just released a driver update that allows you to use the Freesync function with an nVidia card, such a monitor is of course doubly interesting!
In summary and most importantly:
- Check beforehand whether 32'' is an issue at all, as this is already very overkill for a PC monitor! :-)
- Note that the stand is unfortunately very low and therefore wall mounting must be expected.

Since replacing the rotating hard disk with SSD a few years ago, this monitor is the best investment I have made for my PC setup.
Runs flawlessly with 1080 GTX at the native resolution, of course with the missing G-Sync support it would be a bit smoother at frame rates below 144, was previously a bit better with 1080p, or the frame rate a bit higher, but I'm happy to make the compromise.
The CHG75 will provide a remedy for this at the latest. Until then, I'm more than happy with this screen.

Very good gaming monitor, extremely fast response time, high contrast, colours neutral but not as outstanding as IPS, I could not test HDR yet.
