Pros:

• Super-fast response times.
• Instantly launches apps.
• Screen is very bright even in sunny conditions.
• Having included mounts for supported keyboards is appreciated.
• Standalone mode is the perfect angle and lets you position it anywhere with the 1.8m cable.
• Gifs are supported.
• Fully customisable buttons let you assign almost anything.
• iCUE software is easy to use and intuitive.

Cons:

• Screen tearing on certain gifs.
• Currently cannot display in-game stats/FPS.

KitGuru says: We think the Nexus can be a genuinely useful tool that has almost limitless potential with how many screens and options can be set up. It’s a bit pricey but the quality you’re getting is excellent and we’re finding it very useful for our workflow and general computer use.
