So the one thing I haven't mentioned up until now is the price, and that's largely because this is a niche product: those looking to buy something like the Momentum 43 will be specifically after what this display provides, and really there's not a lot of...
Outstanding image quality, Supports all features of flagship consoles, Unique blend of TV and monitor capabilities, Sturdy TVstyle hardware
One HDMI port, Better alternatives for general entertainment
