I purchased this for my son for gaming use. Gave him a wider view, bigger view and better graphics. I use it for work and I love it. I am able view multiple screens/documents without having multiple screens that would have taken up too much space on my desk.

Upgraded from LG IPS ultrawide 1080p to this Samsung VA Ultrawide and experience is mixed. I like the increased screen real estate and curve makes gaming more enjoyable. What i don't like is the narrow viewing angle. When watching movies, the color changes even with slight shift in viewing position. Also, the text clarity is not as good as my 24inch 1080p ips monitor. It also takes longer to turn it on or off.

The monitor itself is excellent and has a pretty nice image. The stand is not the best. For the price the size and the 165Hz is nice.

I enjoy the curved monitor, but my boyfriend does not like it. It is difficult to match the settings to each game.

These were larger than I was thinking but they have worked great for what I was going for when making this purchase. I am very pleased with the two I bought as they function to give me....what effectively is......an extra 4 to 6 screens because they are wide enough for me to use each one like it is 2 to 3 screen. Love the increase in my productivity since I have less time spent bringing other things to the front as I can have more things in sight at all times while completing tasks.

Once I got used to the size I fell in love with it. It is so nice to be able to put two programs on the screen at once.

I love Ultrawides, even over a 4k display. The stand sucks and the HDR is a joke. The picture is great and I like the 165hrz. But there are other Ultrawide displays that are $100 cheaper and are just as good. I sold mine and got the Asus Tuf 34" for $499.

The monitor was an open box description of it being in excellent condition. And let me tell you it was. Almost brand new. For my first curved monitor I love it even when my wife saw it she was pretty blown away. Thanks bestbuy your items are always great to purchase.

Plug and play. Very nice picture and I definetely notice the improvment from my old HD only monitor. Great for both work and play, only issue is theres only one HDMI port. Had to get a switcher but other than that I like it alot! Highly recomend for a budget ultrawide!

I love this monitor. I don't do a lot of gaming on my computer, but the image clarity and color and resolution is amazing. I do a lot of graphic design work on it, so getting used to the curved screen took a week or so, but now I feel immersed in my work and have no regrets on this purchase. Much better than the 34" LG I was using previously.

Bought mine open box, and it is flawless. No scratches or dead pixles at all. The monitor itself is exactly what you would expect in it's price point, crisp clean visuals and high quality materials. I would say the price point is high, which is why I bought mine open box, but if you do a lot of tasks that an ultra wide would benefit, this is a good option. The only gripe I have is that it is so expensive. There are plenty of other ultra wides that would serve the same function for less. The price does get you the 165 frames that you want when gaming, and the screen does get brighter than necessary, while giving good contrast with the hdr. Overall would not buy again, but not regretting my purchase at all.

This is definitely by far the best monitor I’ve owned so far. Great picture quality had to make some slight adjustments to the color/brightness settings to really make it pop. The stand is very low had to upgrade to an higher monitor stand for my desk. Overall would purchase this monitor again.
