This monitor makes a great addition to my laptop monitor. I've heard that some curved monitors show distortion in the center of the screen due to the curve but I haven't noticed that with this one. If I could, I would take 1/2 star off for poor sound quality from the built in speakers, but I didn't buy it for the sound, I bought it for the picture and the sound from my laptop is fine.

I bought this monitor for office work. If you've never used an ultra wide monitor before, it is extremely cool for work purposes. I also tried some ultrawide videos on youtube and they look spectacular. No issues with the monitor so far. The only downside is that the speakers are terrible. They are okay for voice. Music sounds extremely tinny on them. So just know what you're getting into and plan accordingly. (If you are gaming or watching media, put the savings into a soundbar)

I have a screen I was using, an LG lower end model such as this one, and I used it in the corner of a room held up from the ceiling, and used as a security monitor, and the LG was a 32" flat. This is a 34" QUHD, which is a rather wide panel, and is curved. I would NEVER use a curved monitor in production work, as I do editing, and photo, color correction work, so having a flat panel, with high quality output is very important to me. For that I use a pair of 12bit LUT IPS panel screens with hardware calibration 4k screens, But, this $240 screen for its purpose is rather good. The question is...How long will it last, as I leave the monitor on constantly as it shows the various cameras around.PROS:Wide screen that is curved can fit in a corner better than a flat screen.Can have more cameras with larger image showing.Vesa mount to make for easy mounting.It also has a couple HDMI ports, and a Dispaly port, which make it easy to have a second source input. I use it with both and it works well.The colors and picture out of the box is rather good. I have not made any changes and the images, as well as a movie looked rather nice, but I was not being critical at all.It has built in speakers that are decent enough to hear alarms, and notifications.It also claims a low flicker less blue light technology. I guess it has weaker blue color filter, or triad is tuned to be on the warm side rather than cold. Not sure, but sounds good.Also the curve claim is a 1500R. This is my first curved screen, but from a distance of about 3-4 feet, even less, this is a very good view.Also, the display doesnt show any strong shifts or washouts in vibrance or contrast moving from left to right of screen, so viewing angles are very good.It has a thin bezel, and the LED light on it to indicate its on is also rather nice, and not bright.CONS:I cant think of any for now, as all it needs to do is last long.Its a 60Hz panel, so for many games, this is not the screen for you, but I am hoping with a slower refresh the screen will last longer.The LG I had started showing lines on the display, as it degraded from being on all the time for about 4 years.If this lasts much longer, I will be happy.I recommend it for such use.

Estupendo!

The media could not be loaded. I wish I could give this a better review. I purchased it, hoping I could have a one cord set up for my MacBook Pro, but I can’t manage to get any connection through the USB-C. I turned on the power delivery over USB-C, and that worked intermittently, but I was never able to get display functionality over USB-C.

I needed a large monitor with a charging USB-C hub to replace two Dells that I had to return to the company.I can not attest to the long-term reliability, but so far this monitor was mostly good news.The Good:Size, image, curvature, charging USB-C, speakers, and USB ports for the KVM. I wouldn't have a chance to use KVM on my setup, but for somebody it's a plus. Updatable firmware (came with v 013, updated to v 017)The Not so Good (or the options I have not figured out how to use)Two regular USB ports. I would appreciate one more to use for keyboard, mouse and camera. I will have to add a hub.USB-C power was off by default. I had to figure out how to turn it on.When the monitor goes to sleep, I can't wake it from the keyboard. I had to turn it off and then on while the laptop was on. Then it got recognized and stayed ON. Maybe that's because of the Eco setting; I'll have to try different options.I will update my review in a couple of weeks.Original review revision. I am sending this monitor back. There is an issue I've missed initially: a light streak in one of the corners. Probably due to damage upon assembly to the backlight LEDs. You can only see it on light background and originally I took it for a Windows wallpaper.Oh well. I tried.

I really enjoy this monitor and it is great for my needs. It was hard to find a white ultrawide monitor that met my price range and this is definitely worth the money.The stand is great and lets you move the monitor up and down to your liking, as well as side to side. It has a cable management clip on the back that's more than wide enough to fit multiple cords through. Be warned if you are trying to use a monitor arm, the bracket might not fit if its too large due to the recessed area where the stand attaches.The speakers are meh, not really loud enough but I don't plan to use the monitor speakers in the long run, so this is not much of a downside for me, but might be helpful to know if you seeking a loud monitor.Other than that, it is truly a beautiful monitor. The different settings are great, the color has great range and depth, and games run smoothly at the 120 hz refresh rate. It has eco, low blue light, and other modes to cycle through for easy adjustment. I work long hours at my desk and my eyes never feel fatigued using it.I would highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a 34" ultrawide specifically in white with a high enough refresh rate for gaming, because they seem to be hard to find.

This is my first 34" monitor and I've been very pleased. Built in speakers are a bit weak, but I use headphones so that does not matter to me. Really solid for the price.
