    For what I use this monitor, it works flawlessly

    Best multitasking experience Working with programs like AutoCad, bluebeam, and Microsoft excel. For gaming I’ve only played call of duty and it performs awesome. Can’t really complain about it.

    Good monitor

    Very nice monitor for the price, i use it for gaming and for programming. Its especially nice for splitting tasks since the screen is so wide.

    MSI 34” ultrawide curved monitor

    Performs well although power cable area gets really hot sometimes. HDR is decent but if your laptop is an old one the screen will probably go blank randomly. Not a problem on my Macbook m1 pro rven at at 100Hz. I mainly use it for work, movies:tv seties and no complaints so far. The assembly is pretty quick and straight forward. Stand seems sturdy enough and decent adjustments to the tilts in all directions.

    5 star worthy

    I've had this for a couple months now. It's the best monitor I've ever had. I went from a 4k 27in to this; and honestly? There's not much of a difference between the resolutions. It does take a week to get used to, if you're not used to such a wide/curved screen. But once you get used to it, you'll def prefer this over any other monitor. It even has other built in settings in the monitor that makes it very nice. Overall, this monitor will do it all.

    Best curved monitor to compensate 2 monitor setup

    This monitor can supplement for 2 monitors it is wide enough to feel like 2 24" monitors together. The curve display helps with more sharp images and prevents glare. Highly recommend
