    Best multitasking experience Working with programs like AutoCad, bluebeam, and Microsoft excel. For gaming I’ve only played call of duty and it performs awesome. Can’t really complain about it.

    Performs well although power cable area gets really hot sometimes. HDR is decent but if your laptop is an old one the screen will probably go blank randomly. Not a problem on my Macbook m1 pro rven at at 100Hz. I mainly use it for work, movies:tv seties and no complaints so far. The assembly is pretty quick and straight forward. Stand seems sturdy enough and decent adjustments to the tilts in all directions.

    I've had this for a couple months now. It's the best monitor I've ever had. I went from a 4k 27in to this; and honestly? There's not much of a difference between the resolutions. It does take a week to get used to, if you're not used to such a wide/curved screen. But once you get used to it, you'll def prefer this over any other monitor. It even has other built in settings in the monitor that makes it very nice. Overall, this monitor will do it all.

    This monitor can supplement for 2 monitors it is wide enough to feel like 2 24" monitors together. The curve display helps with more sharp images and prevents glare. Highly recommend

    I bought this monitor and I can say that of all the monitors in this price range, this is the best monitor, bright and rich colors, 144 Hz, thin frames and curved display, RGB backlighting, in general it’s very cool monitor for purchase. I'm collecting money for a second one)

    It gets the job done for gaming on games like apex legends flawlessly. Super crisp resolution for watching youtube vids and movies. And the ultrawide res gives you so much working room when you are working from home so you can see everything on one screen. Best money I've ever spent on a monitor tbh

    Amazing monitor

    It was the first time I bought such a large monitor, and I didn’t regret it, the large curved screen gives you the feeling that you are inside the game, 144 Hz makes the image very smooth, the colors and contrast are very real, the settings menu is very convenient and there are a lot of settings themselves. There were only positive emotions left from the monitor.
