What an amazing surprise!
First – what do I use it for.. Mostly productivity, creating video content, client services, membership academy, Mindset training, Video editing/rendering, and the occasional steam gaming mostly at 1080p (but now at 4k)The PC setup.Windows 10pro, Desktop full tower 2TB nvme gen4, ryzen 5-2600, 32gb ddr4 3200mhz, ultra 750w 80+ modular PS, extra 1TB nvme on pci card for storage, and a USBC C card for front of desktop case ( yes sounds old), but it’s a Thermal Take dual dokker case with huge 230mm fan!The situtation- told my wife for our 20th anniversary I wanted a new monitor (for the kids) she’s too smart for that and said no. Then I told her how much I needed it too for my WFH setup and it will save me time so we can have more time together.. ( then I bought it using $73 in amazon credits I had saved up just for this purpose). She rolled her eyes and let me have it!The shipping:received it the day after ordering it.! wow! great shipping time. Box had a a few nicks and scratches and the corner was crunched but it is a big box. was concerned about damage but upon opening everything was very well packed and nothing damaged. It even came with 2 cables ( HDMI 2.0) and Display port 1.4, along with a paper manual (which I never used).The stand was a little tricky to put on but my 13yo son saw I was putting it on upside down. duh.. I flipped it and saw how much easier it was to install.. There are two silver locking twist screws that spin to lock the stand together. one of the reasons I bought this monitor is that it had a single flat center base rather than two puny legs ( that may or may not be as stable) The base is heavy and very stable and leaves room to store things on it like a clear plastic box to put my USB drives and adapters/cables in easy reach.the back of the stand slips in with two metal tabs and then you pull the plastic lever at bottom to slip it in like a spring. Very easy and no tools required. when placed on my desk it it a hug improvement over my dying Viewsonic 24inch monitor. rather than get 2x 24in I wanted 1 monitor almost as wide as 2×24 ( but only 1 power brick).I used the included Displayport 1.4 cable to connect to my AMD radeon RX580 8gB ddr5 video card. the ports face down rather than back so I had to tilt the whole monitor towards my abdomen and slide in the DP connector. a nice touch is the base lets the monitor have both Tilt and height adjustment and turning too!! It’s like Yaw, Pitch, and Roll in a jet! the power brick was nothing new and has small round power connector for the back of the monitor.The use: after plugged in and I turn on the pc, the monitor fired up. the box doesn’t say Aopen, rather “Fire Legend..” so it surprised me for a second. The volume was turned up to 100% when starting so watching a video on YouTube was amazing but kind of “boomy” in sound. I cut it back to 50% and it sounded good. Not great, but clear and not oppressive, or shaky. I don’t expect built in speakers to be loud, but more importantly “clear” and these are fine as they serve purpose of not having to use another set of external speakers/wires/power slot..The adjusting…. For productivity I went to my display settings and it automatically recommended 3440×1440 so I kept that but changed the ‘text size’ to 125% so I can see the icon names/text better. I tried to turn on HDR but it looked washed out so I turned it off. The advance settings showed speeds all the way up to 165hz. I’m not doing e-sports so don’t need to waste the electricity usage (yes higher refresh rates do use more power). I set it to 100hz as I saw no noticeable difference with 144hz or higher. I may play more with settings later.The game-now the fun part. playing Halo CE with MS games console on ( hit windows button and “G”) and you can pin the video settings ( Frame rate). I was getting 60FPS on 4k, high settings, with cpu use about 24% and GPU at about 50%. very reasonable. I’ll update later with Roblox, Fortnite, Fallout4, or Red dead2. ( no more world of warcraft for me now.. sorry Ravencrest, I know you’ll miss me).Overall impressions:Wow! screaming deal and great adjustability with height, tilt, and turning. Plus includes both cables out of the box. I’ve not adjusted any colors yet but will update in a month or so after I do with anything new. So far, very impressed that this “value” monitor performs so well. The upgrade from 24in to 34inch widescreen with speakers so no extra wires or power bricks needed is a no brainer. Definitely buy one !

Great Monitor for the money
This monitor has exceeded my expectations.The reviews on this monitor were pretty good for the most part, but when youâre talking about a 180Hz, 27â curved gaming monitor at this price point, you never know. Well I have to say I am very pleased with my purchase. The picture quality is amazing paired with my RTX 4060. So far, all games I play have looked amazing and coming from using a tv at 60Hz refresh rate, itâs a night and day difference. If youâre looking for a quality, budget gaming monitor that will more than get the job done, look no further !

Good value and performs very well in all uses
I work from home and am a gamer nights and weekends. This monitor is very clear and crisp and the colors are excellent. I had an issue with UPS and had to re-order it twice, so was initially going in with a bad attitude, but, this monitor just rocks and is a very good deal. My only negative comment would be it does not offer USB ports replicated so that you can add devices easier. The sound from the speakers is tinny, as should be expected from a small speaker, I use external speakers for better sound.

Big screen, and a curved monitor good price!
I’ve had this monitor for a few months now and just wanted to give a product review to help others out if they are thinking about buying.Pros- Big screen Curved screen (somewhat of a con too) Comes with all cables needed Decent quality boxing for shipping Bright Acceptable screen quality for gaming, and general useCons- Build quality seems cheap The stand is very cheap and flimsy It barely curves Button placement is less than ideal Speakers are really bad so you’ll want to have stand alone speakers or headphonesOverall for the price its good, but if you have the money and are able to spend 2x as much im sure you could find way better. But it does work for what i need it for and had the budget for.

I liked it so well I bought another.
I bought one of these for my main computer. I liked it so well, I bought another for my secondary computer.Excellent monitor for the price.I only use them for routine computer tasks, email, streaming, etc. I don’t believe any thing could be better. I’m not a gamer so I can’t talk about gaming performance, but the boxes they came in said “Gaming Monitor”, and I believe it would work for gaming.Reasonable price, great quality; I highly recommend.

Bad Color, Okay Performance
Hello! So, I will make this review short and simple. For most general purpose use, or any office use, this monitor would work great. Gaming is also fine. (In most games)Though, the monitor is not an HDR, but an SDR display. I didnt realize the major difference between the 2 when buying. Unless you are under a very tight budget, or need something delivered super fast, then I suggest searching for similar sized HDR monitor. The color accuracy & brightness is way better.All in all, I would recommend this product to somebody within the $100 STRICTLY NEW monitor budget.

Great so far
The monitor is great so far. The monitor great looking and nice picture on screen. I am not using it to game primarily but as a large monitor with videos. The value exceeds the price for me. Good inexpensive large screen monitor I recommend

Hasta el momento ha funcionado dentro de lo que esperaba, es el primer monitor curvo que tengo y me estoy acostumbrando la la curvatura, cuando veo mi otro monitor lo veo cóncavo, pero es cómodo, los colores están bien, solo un detalle los dos monitores los tengo en un brazo, asà que no necesito la base; pero si no tuviera el pedestal estarÃa en problemas, ya que la base no entra en el lugar donde se supone que debe entrar ( el monitor tiene redonda la parte donde se atornilla y en la base esta cuadrada si que no hay manera de poner la base es su lugar). La base no es de este Monitor, es el único “Detalle” , malo que veo, por eso le pongo 4 estrellas. En conclusión; En lo general la relación calidad- precio esta bien.
