Great monitor for work or play. Beautiful graphics and shape text. Lots of screen space for opening and working with apps. When it is time to play, this monitor will not disappoint. We wound up getting two of these, one for my home office and one for my husband's home office.

Very happy with this so far.
I was nervous that my macbook m1 air would have trouble with running a monitor of this resolution. I bought an 8k compatible USB-C to Displayport cable. Still could not get it to work until I unplugged the usb-c to HDMI/USB adapter on the mac's 2nd thunderbolt port. Now everything works perfectly. It was 100% a limitation of my macbook... not the monitor. Macbook air m1 only supports 1 external monitor, and the mac must have seen the HDMI adapter as a display (even though it was not connectod to an HDMI device).
MiniLED should outlast OLED, which is another reason I bought this monitor.

Excellent monitor! I use it for a little bit of everything, i.e. play games, software development, video editing, etc. The monitor is excellent for gaming, and very nice and clear for textual use (i.e. programming for me). What I didn't like initially was apps that would full screen if maximized, and most apps are not usable this way. To make it "behave" like two monitors, I purchased the pro version of "Display Fusion" (does a bunch of other things too), and now I can maximize to the left or right side of the monitor, and turn it off when playing games. Initially I thought the monitor was huge, but now that I'm used to it, I'm considering getting a second one and mounting above this one for a total of "4" virtual monitors (in place of the 2 - 27" monitors I have above this one). While programming, I almost always need to see 3 things at a time, and not having to flip between them is very nice.
When I initially got the monitor, it got pretty warm, then I realized that there's a setting in the menu that sets the refresh at 240hz. Way overkill for day to day use. Since I've turned that off, the monitor barely warms up. The base is very nice, it's flat (some monitors have legs that spread out and get in your way), so you can put things on it. Also the height and tilt adjustment works well. Highly recommended if you have the space
Great display, awesome viewing angles, very nice r

I bought this to complete a wfh setup and it's been a great upgrade. This replaced a large tv that I was using as my main monitor. Although this isn't as tall it is almost as wide and the refresh rate makes all the difference

I love this monitor… I had a 2 monitor setup and I was thinking about a 3rd in portrait mode for coding, but 3 monitors would take up too much space, so I retired 1 of my monitors and let this handle the multiple screens… and I can attest that this is perfect for me!! I love this monitor the only problem for me is the lack of support by windows os, but I’m sure in time a lot more functionality will be available… if you’re on the fence… get it! :D

Sharp and beautiful screen. The r value provides great eye relief. Love having the ability to have so much screen real estate to switch between windows easily.

Absolutely love it. I bought this solely to see the whole pitch playing FC25 and I love it. I've played Marvel Rivals and Black ops 6 on it. It works great very cool to use and I'm so satisfied with this Monitor!

Historically, I have operated with a multi-monitor setup, and with mixed success. Not only do I play games (racing sims, survival/crafting rpg's, fps's), I also work with large data sets as part of my job. When viewing spreadsheets or writing R/Python code, it is hand to have a larger, uninterrupted screen-viewing area. I went into BestBuy looking for an Ultrawide monitor, they didn't have the AMD FreeSync one in-store, but they honored the sale that was on at the time for the NVidia equivalent. So let's talk features:
Color vividness: This is probably the most vibrant out-of-the-box monitor I've ever owned. The HDR10 and color depth is incredible.
Refresh rate/smoothness/tearing: I use the AMD FreeSync technology with my AMD setup (5900X CPU, 6900 XT GPU), and I have never experienced blurring, tearing, or stuttering with this setup playing any of my games. Also, when I was running two monitors side-by-side, I constantly had issues with one display not coming on and I'd have to power cycle them, but that is solved with the single-display setup.
Gaming quality: This monitor comes in really handy with the racing sims and fps games as it provides you with a really wide FOV. Also, the smoothness of the screen and the adaptability of the FreeSync technology makes for a good experience uninterrupted by glitches that jolt you out of gaming immersion.
Space required and setup: this can be a challenge, and I'll be honest, this monitor takes up a lot of space as it is curved. It is also very heavy (it has to be to keep it stable), and the initial physical setup/assembly/unboxing, which I did solo, was challenging.
Settings and features: This gives you a LOT of options, profiles, on-screen reticle (which comes in handy for games such as Kingdom Come: Deliverance where archery without the reticle is very difficult).
Overall value: You can definitely shell out a ton of cash for larger monitors, but this was surprisingly affordable, and despite a friend of mine telling me that ultrawide monitors sometimes have game compatibility issues with older games, I have not experienced that as you can set the display resolution to place black bars on either side and render the game in its native res.
Great value, 100% recommend.

I have been eyeing a bigger monitor coming from a 32 inch curved. I finally was able to get one and i will say its a major upgrade!!! i love it!! But did notice i guess from it being so big, it was giving me slight headache. So i just wear computer glasses to get my eyes adjusted. Other than that i love the purchase!!
