21-11-2024Overall, I really like this monitor. The picture quality is amazing. The main gripe I have is the single function button. This would be fine when the monitor is on. However, this also serves as the power on/off button. In case the engineers didnt know, or forgot, an on-screen menu doesnt appear when the monitor is off. The other gripe is the stand provided for this monitor. In order to turn this monitor on, you have to press the button once, rock it forward once, then press the button again. It is fiddly at the best of times, Other times, youll be rocking and clicking the button like youre mining for bitcoin. There should be a separate power button for the monitor. You really want to consider mounting this monitor rather than using the provided stand. While the stand does work, you will notice A LOT of wobble on the monitor due to the weight and the stand being located in the back, on the bottom. I personally feel that when you start getting larger than 28 monitors, you really need to provide a more stable, centralized stand. Overall, this is still a great buy for the price. Im very happy overall and would recommend the monitor to others. Just keep in mind the single button issue.

> 3 dayPerfect for gaming. The deep curve and 165 Hz are the two biggest benefits for me. Games look crisp, and I can now see details that I never noticed before. You will want a decent video card to drive this monitor to its full potential. I use an RTX 3060 Ti and it works great.

> 3 dayi gave 5 stars because that is the rating this monitor deserves... the seller, not so much... it took a while, but i finally understood the difference between QHD and 4K.... in laymens terms, QHD (1440p) is NOT the same as 4K (2160p)... the sellers sales pitch made it seem like QHD and 4K are the same thing... this monitor is QHD, and i bought it thinking it was 4K... also, this monitor only costs $400, and a samsung actual 4k monitor with the same features and specs as this one costs $900+. which begs the question: where does the extra $500 go??? why is there such a BIG difference in price between QHD and 4K?? anyways, this is a great monitor, but i can really do without the trickery from the seller...

> 3 dayGot this monitor to replace my old acer 3D monitor. The feature 3D on the monitor should tell you how long ago I purchased a monitor. So Im expecting a nice longitivy with this monitor. Ive only had it for about 4 days so Ill leave that part out for now. Now I consider myself a hardcore gamer as I put in anywhere from 60-90 hrs a week just gaming. Moving up to 1440p has been great games look much better but I quickly found that my 1070 cant play all my games at ultra settings but visually it still looks amazing. Now I play zero competitive games honestly dont care for it. So that may affect some for this review. But for me as a single player only type gamer this monitor had zero tearing, zero lag, zero flickering, and no issues with ghosting. The monitor has 144hz but me turning all my games to the highest settings I was lucky if i broke 100 fps most my games stayed around 60-80 fps. Some even dropped to 30s or 40s so again I want to stress Im not a competitive player so this had no affect on me. So of course all the positives I just said this monitor could do with no issues. HDR is ok on it but didnt expect much and its not a feature I would use anyways. Now the VESA mount it does work for the G5 however, make sure you use the rubber washers included in your monitor arm if you use one. When I first tried to set this up the placement of the 75x75 made it difficult because of the round backing. So the rubber washers helped lift it up just a bit so that the VESA mount was perfect. Now I didnt have any dead pixels another plus with this monitor and the backlight bleed for me was hardly noticeable so plus again. The 1000r curve made me completely fine with losing 3D as Im in the minority who loves 3D gaming along with 3D movies. But after seeing the curve and how it works Im perfectly fine with losing that feature now. Overall, Im very happy with this monitor especially since I was able to nab this at $200 which I dont know of any 1440p 144hz you can get at that price so as long as this monitor can give me 5+ years Im going to recommend anyone who is not a competitive player to grab this.

> 3 dayFirstly, I am a casual gamer (less than 10 hours a week) and use my pc for various tasks besides gaming. Overall I am very pleased with this monitor. I was looking for an ultrawide to better take advantage of multitasking and this has been great for my productivity. The 1000R curve is impressive and sets this monitor apart from other curved ultrawides. The curve is a bit overwhelming at first and can distort documents, however, once you get used to it, it is very nice. Panel quality is as expected for the price, overall I am pleased. Dont expect the most color accurate, brightest, or premium panel here. Some calibration will be needed as expected out of the box. Brightness is fine and the monior can be used in a moderately bright room. There were no defects with the monitor I received. The biggest downside is the cheap stand. It is serviceable, however, there is no adjustment available and is quite wobbly. Use of a Vesa mount is advised. The biggest problem I have is not with the monitor itself, but with the particular items sent to me. I ordered two of these (for myself and my wife) however, one of the monitors was incorrect (a Gigabyte brand ultrawide). Overall, for the price paid, I am satisfied with my purchase.

> 3 dayThe curve is great. The monitor works well. But the screen is coming off the top of the curve.

Greater than one weekThere’s nothing really I dislike about this monitor for the price. I use this monitor for gaming and I’m very satisfied with its performance. I sit close and it consumes me. I like it a lot

> 3 dayIt is a great monitor, and the price was pretty good. My older son has a larger monitor, which I like a lot better, but it was quite a bit more expensive. Overall, it is a good value.
