    Got this and the msi 40inch and chose this one instead. The curve on it seems more noticeable compare to my oled g8 even though both got same curvature. Does have a bit of screen flickering but this is just used as a 2nd monitor and downloading the driver for it solved the screen flicker issues for me

    “Not as Sharp or Adjustable as Expected”

    The monitor isn’t very ergonomic — the stand has limited adjustment and doesn’t feel very stable. The screen also looked a bit blurry, which made it less enjoyable to use. Overall, not quite what I expected. Affordable Option with a Few Drawbacks. Worth the Price, Despite Comfort and Clarity Issues.

    I love this monitor. The only downside to it is the stand that comes with it because it’s flimsy and bad quality. If your getting this monitor I would for sure get an arm for it

    If you ever wanted, and were wondering which curved monitor to get, this is the one. It's perfect for my home office setup. I'm not a gamer, but this monitor just might turn me into one because the graphics on this thing are absolutely gorgeous! I highly recommend.

    I would give this monitor 2.5 but you can only do whole numbers so i went a bit higher. Overall, it was extremely easy to unbox and get going. Ive seen a lot of people complain about the stand itself, but i didnt find it that difficult to use. Would it be nice if you could adjust it more? Absolutely. Outside of that, my biggest issue with itwss the settings within the monitor for adjusting colors,etc. I tried SO many different combinations to try and get it to look right, but i just couldn't. It was either too dark, too bright, too blue etc, nothing seemed to work forme. This was my first UW monitor, so maybe it was just me, i dont know, but either way i had to return it, because i just couldnt play games on it. I would suggest that if youve never used an ultra wide display before, maybe go to the store and try it out first. It takes some getting used to. But overall, that was less of an issue than the color issues i was having. So for now, for me, its back to a flat panel 16:9. Maybe in the future i will try again.

    Not perfect but very very solid. I dont need to game at 4k 240Hz. This is a very sharp and clear 2k 165Hz monitor. I have it paired to an AMD 6700XT and all my games are clear anf crisp. Ive read into other peoples issues with this monitor that it doesnt tilt. It does tilt just fine but need to loosen the screws on the tilt mechanism.

    Probably I got a defective unit, anywho, 3 out of 5 times it goes to standby it won’t wake up again. Even worse if I let it sit overnight and try to use it, it never wakes up. Tried different cables, different computers, same behavior. Too bad, the monitor seems to work nicely when it works

    Although I returned it, it is an amazing screen for gaming. But i thought I can use it for work to avoid using 2 seperate screens unfortunately it didn't work for me. The good knews is my nephew liked it and decided to purchase and loves it!

    Excellent gaming monitor for the price in all of the key aspects. The main drawback is the stand which is built so that the monitor sits with a slightly downward angle. That might be fine depending on your individual set up but it would be better if the angle were adjustable. That is the only reason I would not recommend it.

    I had my eye on this monitor for a while and when it went on sale for $150 off, I had to jump on the chance to get it. Whilst I wasn’t a fan of curved monitors initially, it has grown on me and to be honest I don’t even notice the difference anymore.
