    Excellent monitor for work or game. Wish had a software only to share a portion of screen rather than whole screen or window

    This is the monitor I've always wanted. I bought this particular model because I want something that'll be good for at least a couple of years before wanting to upgrade to the next best thing. Currently using it with my M1 Mac mini and PS5. I know with that set up I'm not pushing the monitor to it full potential, but I do plan on building a gaming PC. I really like the design and color of the back. It's like something from the future... LOL!

    It's a nice screen and it's probably perfect for many people. I preferred the 32 inch G7 after trying out both. This is just too wide and not tall enough to be practical for my use. The price is also over double what I paid for the 32 inch

    Amazing monitor with some quality issues

    This monitor is absolutely incredible to play or work with, and it looks amazing, but I agree with many of the previous reviews I think it has some quality issues. * Problems with waking up after inactivity (I could solved it by putting the picture mode in Custom and modifying the bright or or else, but if I put another type like FPS or RTS the monitor does not wake up). * The most annoying are the popping electric sounds from everywhere behind the monitor, I thought those little electrical explosions would fade over time as it was only because the monitor was brand new, but no, they are still there a couple of weeks later. I have had other problems with the refresh rate, the resolution but I am not 100% sure that it is the monitor so I will not go into details. I really love the monitor, but I'm afraid these little problems are symptoms of a bigger problem and it's a bit expensive monitor to have to change in a couple of years. I like it so much that i think i'll give it another chance, im returning this one and get a new one, hopping for the best.

    I like this screen but it takes a good GPU to power it. My refresh rate is just ok. you need to decide if you what is important to you. Immersion or speed. It is beautiful. Just like a woman, you have to marry it for at least a year or 2 so think it through. Don't forget the cables. I am using a 2080 but about to upgrade to 3080.

    I bought this as a work/play screen. I was tired of the smaller 22” dual screens I had and wanted to upgrade for my PS4 pro. I was skeptical as I play for fun one day a week. I could instantly tell the graphics and detail were amazing. Only thing I wish it had was a remote. When working I am using a usb c cord for a clear picture. I am working to download some of the updates, but it is not priority.

    Was worried because seen reviews about this monitor having flickering problems and firmware issues. The screen I got looks good plugged it in for damage check or dead pixel but everything looking good. Also checked and firmware was already updated to newest version they have. Only downside I could find is the USB ports are not 3.2 gen2 or gen1 but that is just trying to find any fault.

    This is an awesome piece of technology however if you want to stream from it you have to lower the rate on your display. You may also have to divide the screen into two monitors. Other than that it's a solid piece of machinery.

    I use this as a dual monitor most of the time. I use it for gaming both pc and console and it looks amazing it’s also awesome to be able to play console and have pc going at the same time. This is great and I prefer it over my previous 2 monitor setup

    Great monitor but lacks HDMI 2.1. Graphics are very realistic and stretch beyond human sight capabilities to place you right in the screen. Now just need to find a monitor arm that can support such a heavy piece of equip and will be set!

    Monitor is awesome but one thing that we did not know about before purchasing. The PS5 is not compatible with the high resolution of this monitor so you can only use the entire screen in stretch mode, otherwise its just a standard monitor with black screen on left and right.

    Fantastic monitor but in the end I returned it. This monitor requires a pretty beefy computer if you plan on gaming on it. Due to the gpu shortage I unfortunately was not able to get a computer to really run it. I would highly recommend if you have a RTX 3080 or higher.
