    Pretty Good Monitor

    Display looks pretty good for the price, but it can be a little bit washed out. The menu system kind of sucks and using the controller to go through is it slow. If you are using a Mac laptop or Mac mini, you're going to have issues displaying this. I ended up having to buy a USB-C to Display port cable and also buy an app that let's you change the resolution. Even on Big Sur using an 8K cable on a MBP Radeon, I could not get 5120x1440 without an app to force it that now runs in the background. My gaming pc did it easily.

    Fantastic monitor

    I purchased this monitor because my 27” Acer 2k monitor died. Since the company I work for announced late last year that our temporary WFH is now permanent WFH, I decided that I wanted to go dual 27” monitors. Stock is pretty limited anywhere you look and I wasn’t seeing any 2k monitors I liked. I looked at the 34” ultrawide and stumbled across these 49” and thought, man those are too big. The more I looked at monitors, the more I thought about the 49” ultra wides and just decided to just pull the trigger. Worst case scenario, I’d return it. After I got this setup, it definitely stretch from edge to edge of my computer desk. At first it was such a big change that I thought I didn’t like it. I told myself to give it a week and see if I’d get use to it. I am glad I waited the week before just returning. This monitor has worked out so well. I can fit my two Chrome windows side by side, slack, iMessage, Evernote and my terminal window all up together without having to make additional desktops or minimize programs or push them to the back ground. I highly recommend this monitor to anyone that wants dual monitors larger than 24” and doesn’t want bezel between the monitors. The fact that this monitor also is freesync/g-sync compatible, 120hz refresh and hdr400 certified were all bonuses. A monitor this wide and size takes gamining immersion to another level. Out of the box the colors look a little bit washed out or dull but if you adjust the gamma to 2.6 the picture looks amazing.

    Works great. Looks good. I use if for business work and some coding. The real estate space is great. I'm using the Picture-By-Picture feature to get my two-year-old laptop to display side-by-side 2560x1440 windows I then extend a RDP session from work across leaving the laptop display for my stuff. The ends only curve forward a couple inches so the edges of the screen are about 5" further away than the center. I would prefer the ends come back another 4 inches. A couple of complains: 1. The documentation is limited. It took me the long side of an hour to figure everything out (more below) 2. The remote is so flimsy the curser often went a different direction than I wanted (I used the on-screen buttons). To do Picture-By-Picture on Windows, connect one cable from your computer to the monitor. Use the remote to select input and figure out which input port you are using. Go into the screen menu and select Multi-Windows then PBP 2Wh. For the SubWin2 Input, select something other than the one you are using and plug another cable from your computer into the monitor guessing which port. With any luck, it will be correct. They don't document what they call 1 and 2. I originally tried to use one input at 5200x1440 but it overwhelmed my laptop and set the monitor to a refresh rate the monitor couldn't handle and nothing worked. I used the Intel Graphics program to fix it. Ultimately, Windows shows two monitors at 2560x1440 and the Intel graphics shows them at 59hz.

    It's okay, I guess. Not for me, in the balance.

    Ordered online (sight unseen), wound up returning it. The good: 1. Super deep blacks, after using VA LCD's for a while (and not having the $$$ for OLED), using any screens that are IPS or TN just look ugly and washed out. 2. Great overall contrast (same thing as above, VA is much, much better at this). 3. For the weight, the supplied stand is awesome. It has height and angle adjustment that competing products lack, and it's not as chunky. Some of the things I ran into (and why I returned it): 1. Picture didn't match the delivered product (the white logo on the front was a bright, glaring, orange). Not something I wanted to stare at all day, every day (since this is for my primary work computer). 2. Manuals weren't current to product (there was additional foot assembly required, and while the parts were included, I had to figure it out), and were lacking in information about resolution support, screen splitting features (etc.), so there was a bit of trial-and-error. 3. The reddish tint on the panel I got made everything over-red, adjusting it back for the center to get a neutral gray made everything blue-green on the sides... aside from normal panel deviations, the overall color uniformity was kind of meh. 4. The panel seemed to *only* support dual inputs at 60 Hz, I couldn't get two inputs driving two 120Hz sides. The manual says something about "connect the first at this resolution", but not "only connect at this resolution". It might have supported even lower refresh rates, but 60 was about as low as I could tolerate, and all the combinations of high end Display Port cables, and video outputs that I tried, didn't get me any more. 5. Even with the remote (which makes it marginally less confusing), the on-screen interface is bad. it takes a bit of trial and error to figure out the "up down enter up down enter enter" kind of combinations needed to change settings. 6. The stand didn't sit entirely flat, even though it really should have (it was essentially *almost*, but not quite, 3 points, this might have been fixable by using a mount or raising up the points). 7. While speakers in monitors generally aren't great, these could have been charitably described as "buzzing noises that sound somewhat similar to what kind of sound you were expecting". Any one or two of those wouldn't have been a deal breaker, something I could have lived with for the excellent brightness/contrast/black depth, but for close to $1,000 dollars for a product I have to live with 10+ hours a day, added up, it just wasn't worth it to me.

    This monitor is really good for the price. The buttons on the bottom are a little difficult to use, but everything looks great on it

    I purchased this for dual reasons. My primary reason was to replace the three monitor setup I currently have for work with one monitor, save some space, save some eyestrain. I'm also an avid videogamer, but the workhorse monitors I use for my job could never provide me with the kind of clarity and sharpness I wanted for my games. As a gaming monitor the Viotek Suw49DA 49 incher is fantastic. I loved the color quality, I loved the peripheral vision effect. I loved cranking "The Outer Worlds" field of view to the top of the scale with no artifacting, tearing, stuttering. Combined with my current video card (Nvidia 2080 rtx super) I was in heaven. Right until the next day when I tried to set up three screens on my monitor. I spent nearly six hours trying multiple combinations of settings trying to get three separate screens to work. Most of the time they would mirror each other, when I did get it to finally work the mouse cursor would be horribly misaligned. At over a thousand dollars for a monitor I expect something that's easier to configure than that. So I returned this monitor (and no problems with the return). Five Stars for the easy return and the incredible games quality. One star for the crap configuration controls and wasted time. If you want this solely for gaming, you'll be pleased, but for anything else buyer beware.

    Ok the 2 stars is more for viotek for shipping this monitor like this. Any quality check would of noticed the scratch in the middle of the screen. It’s under the top layer and a eye sore hoping bestbuy can replace with another soon threw my local store. It came in 3 days early shipped there beatbuy the monitor itself is amazing the screen menu and remote are cheaply done and put together. I’m scare I break the remote every time I press a button. The speakers could of been better.

    Viotek 49" Rocks with Fantastic Resolution

    I bought this monitor to replace aging 22" monitors, the resolution is great for the large spread sheets that I work with daily. I connect my new Mac Mini M and HP laptop Windows 10 and get equally great resolution. With the Windows 10 laptop that's a few years old I use the PBP picture by picture mod that scales the monitors to the twin 27" size and then you can enlarge each screen as needed, but using the full screen works equally as well. I use two DV ports for the laptop and a single HDMI to USB-C cable for the Mac Mini. I couldn't be happier. After 3 weeks I would never go back to using dual monitors, well I have dual 24" monitors at work and it seems so antiquated. Editing photo just got so much easier with this monitor.

    This is a fantastic monitor for productivity (ie work) as well as facing or flight sim style gaming. I'm not a hard core gamer but the 120 Hz refresh rate and (relatively) low ms lag works just fine for me.

    Love the super wide display. Bought for work from home use. Can easily split the display to equivalent 3 screens or 2 large screens. Son uses it for games and enjoys it.

    Its not what you expect, lets start with how most games do not support a monitor this wide. If the game however is supported good luck running it, youll need a monstee pc to get decent fps. Its a no go from me.
