  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Great for leisure work and play. Gaming unknown.

    Amazing monitors for the price. I purchased 2 and they are identical in quality and performance. These are my first curved monitors, so I was a little hesitant. Now, I'm wishing I got them sooner. I don't do any gaming, so I can't speak of their performance there. However, for leisure work (AutoCAD), multitasking, and watching movies/shows/youtube, these are great.

    Audio low, but not really (?)

    I would say 10/10 but for the first 2 weeks, I genuinely thought it was just quiet. Turns out the audio on the monitor is defaulted to 50. So turning it up through the PC didn’t matter. In a way, it’s my fault for not knowing but at the same time, how could I have known? Other than that, very good.

    Dramatic Improvement for Work @ Home Rig

    Wow! Mounted 2 of these side x side -- dramatic improvement over the 2 23" straight monitors I'd been using. Pic barely does it justice... Monitors are 48" across.
