This monitor is FANTASTIC! The wide curved screen is very nice, and the display turns out great at the 3440x1440 resolution. I have set my Scale to 125% to compliment this resolution choice. I used to have 2 monitors side by side, but it drove me nuts that I couldn't just look at the middle of the screen. An important thing to note is that you will likely need to install the software/drivers for the monitor to be able to use it at the 3440x1440 resolution. You can find this on HP's website (https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/omen-by-hp-34-inch-wqhd-165hz-curved-gaming-monitor-omen-34c/2101649642) The thing I love is that you can adjust up to 4 windows in multiple configurations on the monitor, so I can have one screen to the left and one to the right if I want. I also like having one screen in the middle with 2 sidebar screens on either side. My favorite option is having 75% of the screen as one window and the remaining 25% as the other. You can adjust them however you like (ex 60%/40%). The screen settings are easy to access and change as needed. I like that there are different screen color options, I have mine on "night" most of the time, but switch it to standard earlier in the day. The speaker volume is also pretty good for a monitor, I like to keep instrumental music playing while I work and have now been using my monitor instead of my laptop. Another nice feature of this monitor is that you can easily raise the screen up and down in its stand, just by grabbing it by the edges and pushing it up or down. It glides very nicely when being adjusted and I can tell this was built with high quality in mind. This monitor has definitely been worth the investment and I highly recommend it! Especially for those who work from home, like me!

The omen ultra wide curved monitor is a great choice for anyone who loves Ultra Wide and curve screens. I’ve been playing on this monitor for a month now coming from a normal curved monitor and have had little to no problems adjusting to it. This monitor is fast with a lot of settings to customize what you would like to use it for. You can even go into the settings and put a crosshair on your screen. If the game you’re playing doesn’t have a crosshair. This monitor definitely tops some monitors that have similar specs but with higher price tags. The only problem I would say I have with this monitor is that it’s a little bit more difficult to find a monitor arm for it, so it isn’t sitting on your desk because of two main things, these main things are that the monitor weighs a little over 23 pounds and doesn’t have a normal mounting holes. If that isn’t a problem for you then this is a great monitor for anyone that loves ultra wide curved monitors.
