I bought this screen about a year ago and it still works perfectly! Its been with me on two different jobs and it has not affected quality or connectivity. Works with HDMI and DVI, and use it as a dual screen.

Excellent Value, Best For Productivity

I bought this monitor years ago, and it's been working perfectly ever since.
I looked extensively at monitors to balance price, resolution, size, and refresh rate. This monitor was a great price, with a good size, an acceptable resolution, and a refresh rate that matched my 120Hz LG NanoCell tv (I use both the monitor and TV in my PC setup).
Sure, the resolution could be better, but typing this review now on the monitor isn't an unpleasant experience at all. I use the monitor for productivity, and the 4K 120Hz TV for gaming - the gaming that I tried on the monitor wasn't as good looking.
The monitor has no sound, but that was a corner I'm glad they cut, as my PC is setup to a surround sound system, and anything with sound that I do on the monitor, I use headphones.
I prefer this monitor for productivity, but it would suffice for gaming, if this is all you can get. I'd suggest a higher resolution monitor for monitor gaming.

I work from home. Recently, I have had to add a second laptop to my desk, eliminating my dual monitor setup. I bought this to replace the dual monitors. So far so good. Unboxing impressions.
1) Very well packaged. The manufacturer went to great lengths to prevent damage.
2) The setup was simple. The stand goes together with two screws. Easy peasy.
3) Port access is tough. You have to remove a panel to get to it easily. The panel adds nothing because it is behind the monitor. Why have it at all?
4) Picture quality is good with HDMI and display port. Display port is a bit sharper, but HDMI works well too.
All told it seems to do everything I need. If you are WFH and need more screen real estate, this is a great choice. For $250, it is a no-brainer.

Best monitor for gaming. I had purchased a $449 monitor 165hz and returned it after seeing this. Saved myself money, and am much happier with this curved widescreen 120hz monitor.

Good Budget Monitor

This monitor is a budget ultrawide. Yes you get what you pay for.
It gets the job done, but video playback quality is not amazing.
If you want a cheap ultrawide with a high refresh rate to play games on (and don't care as much about quality), this is the monitor for you.
If you want a monitor to play graphically amazing games, this is not the monitor for you.

This ultrawide curved is very nice and has decent picture quality. Do note that this monitor will not work with the ps5, as the ps5 does not support the aspect ratio and the games will not run on 120 Hz.
I can only see this gaming monitor useful for PC players as a DisplayPort is available with the monitor.

Great monitor, it’s the sweet spot for size to resolution. There is a little bit of ghosting but nothing too bad Also great that you can use HDMI or DisplayPort for 2560x1080 @120hz.

Got the larger version of this monitor, and it was amazing for Fortnite. So this expansion to my view will be great for game play and recording software.

The widescreen is good for the price but the 120 hz feels off to me. It feels good but for me i can vastly tell the difference of 144hz and it seems too big for 1080p, also do not!!!! buy for a console. every console runs at 16:9 aspect ratio and it will be stretched. It is playable but not very good in my opinion.

I just started using it with my ps4 since I'm waiting for my pc and as long as the monitor doesn't fail to work, I can say this is an amazing monitor for the price.
Things you need to know: It doesn't have built-in speakers. You need to keep the monitor at eyes level so you get the best picture. You might want to lower the brightness to around 50%.
Enjoy!

Great value. I decided to get the 32-inch curved one to provide more vertical space, so I returned the 29-inch one. But it is a great monitor.

Loved the large screen size. Only problem was that when the 1st screen I ordered came the box was completely beat up and had to return that one and order another one.
