34 inch Curved Ultrawide Gaming Monitor, 180Hz WQHD 3440x1440 PC Monitor, 21:9, 1ms, 1500R, Adaptive Sync, HDMI Display Port, PBP/PIP, Height/Tilt/Swivel/Pivot Adjustment, VESA Mount, H34S18S

I bought this during a pre-Black Friday sale: an Amazon "Lightening Deal" combined with a KTC coupon that dropped the price well below $200. So, my positive response to the H32S17 is partly based on the big discount I got for my purchase. The monitor is the advertised 32 inch width. The bezels are very small, about 2 mm; however, the panel has a small, black border, which is never utilized. So the border around the display area extends another 5 mm around the left, right, and top. So, the max viewing area, measured by the diagonal corners is 31.5 inches. The build quality is solid plastic for the monitor, and the monitor base does use metal. I can't speak to the amount of adjustment the monitor has on its base since I have mine on a 3rd-party VESA mount. The 1500R curvature is very gentle. I use the monitor up close and viewing content from a distance up to 10 feet away, and the curvature isn't annoying. Be aware, since the panel is a VA, the viewing angles aren't as wide as with an IPS or OLED panel. But there is some viewing angle, especially if you are viewing content from a bigger distance. You don't need to be directly dead center in front of the monitor to get a good viewing experience. The out-of-the-box calibration of H32S17 is not good. You will have to adjust such things like the color hue, saturation, gamma, brightness, and contrast to fit your environment. Some have complained that VA panels aren't very bright. I'm happy with the brightness of this monitor. I never have the brightness maxed out, and I often lower it to 85 - 75% depending on what I'm watching and how dark my office is at any given time. When I finally got it adjusted, the display is vibrant with good color saturation and deep blacks. This wasn't clear when I researched the monitor, so I will confirm that the H32S17 has an overdrive mode that has 4 different speeds. I currently have it on the highest speed, but all the levels do influence the gray-to-gray response times differently. So, this monitor, like any VA, will have some black smearing, but the overdrive, plus the high refresh rate, will mitigate it some. I'm satisfied with the low level of smearing, but I don't play high-level FPS games where smearing would cause problems. I do use the monitor for productivity. Text clarity is very good, whether reading black text on white backgrounds or white text on black backgrounds. I was a little concerned about that when I bought the monitor, but it has exceeded my expectations in this aspect. If you have a decent PC and GPU that can push high frame rates, I recommend connecting the monitor to your GPU with the display port. With a DP connection, the monitor provides a stable 180 frames, which is even higher than the advertised 165-170 hz. I'm extremely happy with that. Overall, this is a budget-friendly monitor that is good for multiple purposes (viewing content, casual gaming, and productivity). It won't compare to the best IPS and OLED monitors, but, for what I paid, I believe I got a quality product.

Love this monitor already. Better pic then my way more expensive Acer monitor. Good quality, perfect refresh rate, easy to use. Very good value for the money. I might wanna buy another of these at some point.

Used for almost a year now. Still doing great. Love the frame rate. Good value especially if caught on sale. I haven’t found any issues with brightness. It does come with a headphone port too, good for a speaker setup bc it doesn’t have a built in speaker. You just need an extra speaker and an additional cord. Hooked it up to my JBL flip and it sounds great. Has great color too.

The overall design is standard plastic with a fairly thin bevel along the top and sides. It's actually nearly identical to a flat 34" monitor I have from 7 years ago. But it's lightweight. I hardly notice the light from the LED ring on the back of the monitor - it's pretty dim. There seem to be no settings to control the LED light, other than turning it on/off. When waking up from sleep, the monitor takes a full 3-5 seconds to turn on after my laptop is awake. A few times, the KTC monitor did not turn on at all. I had to manually turn the monitor off, then back on. So that's not so great. This was not an issue with the last 34" UHD wide monitor that is about 7 years old (which I still use), so it's not the laptop causing the long lag time in waking up. Stand The stand is sturdy enough to prevent the monitor from being knocked over by accident; however, if the desk shakes, the monitor shakes slightly more than my other 34" that is connected to a desk mount. My main issue with the stand is that it does not lift the monitor very high, only about 6.5 inches between the surface of my desk and the bottom of the stand. So the top 3.5 inches of my laptop obscures the bottom of the KTC monitor. And the laptop covers about half of the length of the monitor. That's quite a lot of monitor being blocked from view, a very annoying situation when working with programs that place controls along the bottom of the screen. Screen / Image Quality I did have to adjust the color, brightness and contrast to get a closer match my laptop, which has a very bright, high-end display. Out of the box, the color and contrast of the KTC monitor appear washed out and too gray to me. After increasing brightness, saturation and contrast, I had to bring the black point down quite a lot to get something that does not appear to have a wash of light gray over the colors. As a result, I find my "Custom" color setting way better than any of the pre-installed color modes offered in the settings menu. Gaming I don't game off this monitor; however, with a Thunderbolt 4 to DisplayPort cable, I'm getting full resolution at full refresh rates. I don't need the high refresh rate, but the monitor deliveries in these aspects. Overall Rating I've had the monitor for less than 2 weeks from the time of writing this review, so perhaps my opinions will change over time. I think this monitor is fairly good for its price range, so I'm giving it 4 out of 5 Stars. If compared to higher end monitors, this would probably be 3 out of 5 for image quality. Also, I purchased during a sale of over 30% off. That put it at about half the price of many other monitors at this level, which is pretty good. Knowing the image quality now, I don't think I would buy this monitor at full price. At a discount, totally worth it. I do a lot of 3D and video editing work, so color and clarity are important, but not essential. This monitor is in no way a monitor that should be used for exact color correcting or color matching. But, for doing things like creating textures for 3D assets, game engine editors, and video editing where perfect color is not so important, then this monitor works well.

The monitor came in as described and was Very Clean quick and easy to assemble in no time, it took awhile for me to switch my pc settings to 240fps for gaming but once I got it to run it ran every game ran very smoothly with hardly any screen taring as well as having amazing coloring and contrasts on top of it, and watching movies or videos on it feels also feels incredible with a large variety of display options to choose from. Lastly as a bit of a side note the monitor may seem a bit more square like then rectangle at first when opening it or starting it up as I assume this is because of the curved frame it has going for it and may also be a bit overwhelming if you switching from anything smaller from a 32 inch display as it was for me the first time opening it but thankfully got used to it in no time and would now 100% recommend to anyone looking to buy a great 32 inch sized display for a great price wether for content creation, gaming, or enjoy watching videos a definite 10/10

I'm not a an expert or anything, I think it's fine for gaming colors are fair on screen, great refresh rate And was fairly inexpensive when i bought it. I haven't noticed anything out of the usual

Huge upgrade from a 27" monitor. Colors are very vibrant after some tweaking. Screen is extremely crisp. You can't tell this isn't oled if I hadn't told you

Good monitor for work and school - hard to beat for value. Not high-end, but good enough for most.

It is a fantastic monitor for the price, super responsive and clear with little to no black smearing. My only problem with it is the max refresh rate through display port is only 165 instead of the advertised 180

Works great
