    So the 244hz is a massive win for this monitor. Im a big Kingdom hearts fan and the PC version supports the Frame rate, i was able to go back into my copy of KH3 and jump into the data battles on critical mode and I could easily follow the wild teleporting and back and forth shenanigans they pull in those fights. Sounds like a weird way to write the review for this but if you havent olayed those battles, try watching someone online fight them, its wild. That being said, the frame rate is definitely its biggest draw. Its HDR is good, it has an immediate, noticable boost in color. Darker colors benefit most from this, purple is a mixed bag, dark purple is good, light purple feels off. Overall im happy with the HDR quality. One thing that kills me though is it does have noticable scan lines. Once you really start using it you dont notice them. But theyre there. Its something monitors this size just seems to have. Be aware of that if you purchase it.

    An Absolute Joy to Look at

    This thing is great. If you try to look up opinions on this monitor you’ll see a lot of muddied responses speaking about the earlier models. This particular 2024 model doesn’t have any of those firmware issues that its previous versions are plagued with. I went from 3 monitors to this thing, and this thing is beautiful. Gaming is a whole different experience and productivity/multitasking feels way more fluid on a single ultrawide. This is my entry into the ultrawide world and I’m blown away. I was deciding between this one and the 4k 57inch model but I’m glad I settled on this. I’m not sure how the screen could look any better. I normally wall mount my monitors but I don’t see a necessity to with this one as the base is very solid. Not much else to say. It’s big, it’s beautiful and it doesn’t cost that much ($900 now). If you’re on the fence, go for it.

    I'd been dreaming about getting one of these huge monitors since I saw one like it at my brother in law's house over a year ago. I originally had a 3 monitor setup that was just clunky with a bunch of wires because it supported multiple computers plus my PS4. Getting one of these solved my problem! Setup was easy, but would recommend two people to set it up as it's a bit awkward doing it by yourself. Once I got the picture up I instantly fell in love with it. I noticed text is not *the sharpest* closer to the sides, not sure if its a setting I need to review but overall I simply love it and it's perfect for my needs!

    It has been an amazing purchase. I actually caught it on sale it it's a lot of bang for the money spent. Easy to set up! Picture color and quality is amazing and it fits my desk jus right. It replaced two 24" monitors. I'd highly recommend this product!

    Best Work Monitor Ever!

    I work from home and tried the 3 screen method, but the slight lag between each screen was getting kind of annoying, so having this similar larger screen setup has been a game changer. The pixels are super bright and colorful, and it optimized to my MacBook pretty seamlessly. I am glad I got the protection plan as well since I have kids. Cannot wait to get so much use out of this!

    I originally purchased this monitor as an open box item and pickedit up from their warehouse. Unfortunatly, during set up I noticed that the screen was damaged. So, I packed it all back up, brought it to my nearest retail store, not even the warehouse where I picked it up from, and they literally walked out on the showroom floor, grabbed a new one off the shelf and handed it to me and said we apologize for the inconvenience, have a wonderful day! I saved 75% on this transaction! The product itself is amazing. It comes with a screen mgmt program "Eaay Setting Box" that will let you configure your 49" monitor in seemingly endless set ups as if you had 10+ different displays packed into 1. Best gaming monitor I have ever experienced. Im a flight-sim-er and play Master golf and graphics are impeccable!

    This monitor is amazing.. For pc gaming!! XBOX Series X hasn't made the ultrawide monitors fully accessible. If u use the whole screen it strectes everything and makes enemies and teammate short and stubby. You can change to "auto" setting and it uses about 23in of the middle of screen. Huge black bars on both sides.

    Works as intended. I really enjoy having the option to quickly press a button combo and natively split the screen into 2. Although I haven’t really bothered because there is a swifter method of shift-assigning programs to portions of the screen.

    Transitioning from a multi monitor setup to a single ultra wide monitor has been an unexpected very enjoyable experience. Productivity has increased as I’m easily able to view multiple pages at once. Pleasantly surprised. Gaming is slightly different as the vertical plane is limited a little but not enough to prohibit an enjoyable gameplay. BestBuy pricing was the reason I even considered.

    I don’t know what took me so long to get this. If you are like I used to be, 2 or 3, 27” monitors on your desk all angles in for optimal work environment. Get this and it makes that legacy setup, so much easier. My East’s love this monitor, quality is fantastic.

    Great monitor at the price if it worked full for me, ive had it for about 8-10 months now and ive had the issue diagnosed to the monitor somehow, this monitor is causing me issues when connecting it with the displayport, and wont run properly when connected, causing stuttering, crashing, blackscreens, and unexpected reboots. overall great panel and never had any issues before hand. :)

    This monitor is very large and in charge. It comes with everything you would expect, from the aesthetics, to the quality, this monitor doesn't disappoint. Although the monitor is a bit older and not quite 4k, it packs a revolutionary display. The chroma lights on the back of the monitor are a very nice touch *chefs kiss*.
