    This a a great monitor for gaming and for editing. The visual real estate take a minute to get used tom but when you do it's worth it. If you size the windows right, it's like having the monitors in one. If you are connecting to a mac, like the Mac Studio, purchase a USB-C to Display Port 1.4 to get the 5/K resolution. The mac display will always look better because of the glass, but this is nothing to look down on. Excuse the mess in my office, lol.

    This is my 2nd screen, had ver1 for a couple years now, and now have ver2 as an additional screen. Make my work a bit easier, as i have multiple app and windows open. Ton of screen space between the two. As a casual gamer, games look good.

    Amazing work monitor

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I use this monitor for plan checks (structural design), and so far it has been working great! I typically need three windows open at a time. 49" is the way to go. I have tried single 43" 4k res, two 32" 4k res and two 24" FHD. In my experience, the 1440 pixels on vertical and 5120 on horizontal provides satisfying realstate for pdf/excel files aside with horizontally oriented design software. 2x32" is a cheaper option, but you can't get 2xvertical + 1x horizontal area there. At 43" 4k, texts are blurry and wouldn't be a snappy experience. I highly recommend Microsoft FancyZones for zoning the desktop. I have one big window at the center and one at the left. Then two smaller zones at the right for emails and Teams. Here are some features that I really like about this monitor: The texts are clear It comes with built-in speakers, which is great for a minimalistic desk area It has a USB C fast charging port that you can charge your laptop or your phone. So, another desk cleaning feature! Here are some questions you might have like me, before purchasing: Is the 1800 radius curve enough? I haven't used the 1000 radius, which happens to be curvier, but in my daily experience with 1800, I would say it is absolutely fine. Also, If you work more than 8 hours a day staring at the monitor, actually it is not a bad thing to sometimes contract your eye muscles for farther items on the screen. It is heavy, wide, and the base takes up space. So, be prepared. If you are shopping for cables, keep in mind that 5120x1440 for many laptops is only supported through a USB C dp port. (check with the manufacturer's website) So, you need a display port from the monitor end and a DisplayPort or USB C (dp) from the laptop end. My suggestions for future updates: The navigation for the setting menu is confusing. I need to utilize lots of brain cells to decide how to move left right enter exit. It can be much simpler! A built-in webcam would be a great addition! These monitors are very expensive. I hope they become cheaper soon.

    AOC Monitor Can't Maintain a Signal

    Using this product with a macbook air via usb-c....takes forever for it to pickup the signal. Even pushing the source button on the monitor does nothing as it takes forever to respond. God forbid you walk away for a while & the laptop goes to sleep....you will spend the next hour, trying to get the monitor to pickup the signal again, even though the laptop shows the monitor as the main display. Returning for another product.

    Great monitor and the KVM might be the best part!

    I love this thing. I was able to ditch about 8 cables, a KVM and a USB-C laptop dock. This really de-cluttered my workspace. This monitor performs great for gaming at 165hz with GSync turned on and I can switch over to my work laptop in an instant.

    This monitor was ruined by a slight bump that wouldnt’t have harmed a conventional monitor or TV. I had it for less than an hour. Extremely flimsy for the price. One is testing their luck and taking a great gamble. A friend of mine is a teacher and had a similar item get destoyed when a studen’s backpack bumped into it.

    Incredible. Before I bought this item I had many doubts about it. After I installed, I found out that it's amazing. I can put many open documents side by side, and that was my need.
