Great monitor with an even greater price
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.

HP OMEN 34”
Never thought about the HP OMEN 34”. Till I read the reviews about it. This is a very good monitor. It is 165hz. It is not to big or heavy. I played my Destiny 2 on it a the colors do pop way better than what had before. Not it’s not the OLED curved. An it don’t hit your pockets. I would by this product again. I have not mounted the monitor as of yet but will be doing that this weekend. Will updat picture later.

Work, Games, LAN parties, this does it all!
Originally purchased for productivity and work, this quickly became integrated into my gaming setup. The 165hz allows you to really churn out the fps for that "smooth" feel when gaming. Even after buying another main monitor, this monitor is still used for work/productivity as well as a secondary monitor just because of the real estate it provides. The box it came in is sturdy, I would recommend holding onto it if you plan on moving it around a lot!
