Acer UM.EV5AA.A01 - Anyone else snag one?

Just picked up the Acer UM.EV5AA.A01 for a secondary workstation monitor and, honestly, I'm kinda impressed for the price. It's no [PX27U Wave by Pixio](url) (my main display, obviously), but that 22" screen size fits perfectly where I need it. The 1680x1050 resolution is a step back from 4K, sure, but it's sharp enough for coding and browsing. Anyone else using this monitor? I'm curious what you all think of the color accuracy, especially compared to more expensive panels. I'm finding the TN panel a little washed out compared to my IPS, even with the brightness cranked up to those advertised 400 nits. Still, that FreeSync Premium Pro compatibility is pretty sweet. Have any of you tested that out? I'm also finding the built-in speakers kinda tinny, but let's be honest, who expects great audio from monitor speakers anyway?
